    I find it interesting how the thing you dislike about his work is the thing I love about his work. It's strange how things like opinions work.

    If all opinions were like, we'd live in a peaceful though simplistic world.
    After all, it was disagreement that sparked the 2 chains of events in the 20th century that drove
    technology forward like never before.
    However, the cost of these disagreements...

    There is such a chasm of difference between disagreement and dispute. I have had long and interesting discussions with people on conflicting opinions of things such as art and music and there hasn't been any bad blood at all whatsoever. Not only do I respect opinions different to my own, but I actually love them. Hearing something someone has to say that I don't agree with allows me to hear another side of the story, one unblemished by my own bias. It's a great method of learning, I believe.

    Sometimes, such conversations are actually more interesting and substantial than ones with people you agree on everything with.

    If we all had the same opinions, we would always all make the same choices.
    We would all be identical, even, after a while, in genetic makeup.
    We would never, after that, change.

    Is not lack of change a lack of life? After all, the only things that do not change are rocks and metal. And even then, on a longer scale, these things too begin to change. In any case, when we stop changing, we dissapear, just like a dead rabbit would, left alone in a field.

    Aye.
    That's why if you ever hear a good debate, you won't be able to agree with either side.
    Both sides would have argued their points too well.


    Yet, I do wonder what the world would be like had such conflict not ensued.

    1: Go to debate club.
    2: Get debating 101.
    3: Have non-professional debating ruined in your eyes forever. Seriously.
    4: ???

    Has gone to debate club.
    Unimpressed with debates. They've been for the most part one sided.
    As for point 3:
    I'd like to retain my 20/12 vision thank you very much.
    (This 3rd point is infinitely relevant.)

    Debating's a good skill to have. If you want to get into Politics, then you'll need to argue your point to the opposition. If you want to design stuff, you'll need to prove that your design is the best. If you want to get into law, then you'll need to argue your case. If you want to become a farmer, then you'll need to argue your method of yielding crops returns the greatest profit. If you want to own an island, then you'll need to prove that you're the guy to control that island.

    I'm getting a bit carried away.

    And if you went into Programming, you'd need to argue with BT that: No, that's not how computers work.

    My PC has my blood on the inside.
    By the way, I now wish to burn corsair.
    Why?

    "Hey guys, you know what would be fun?"
    "What?"
    "Let's put razor sharp blades on this line of heat spreaders, so everybody cuts their fingers off!"

    Regardless, it still works.

    Hmm.
    Chromebook I assume.

    Well, in anycase. I still also have my Netbook.
    Though it's slowly degrading down to becoming par with DanSze's old netbook.
    No, you don't have too cool it off with your face,
    but it's structural integrity is somewhere around 18%.

    Space bar is attached with: Epoxy Resin.
    Hinges held together with: Dollar store clear tape.
    Keyboard module attached with: Crazy Glue.
    Bottom plate attached with: Left over Epoxy Resin.

    Then again. Netbooks aren't intended for being dropped off a second floor...

    Well played Alienware. Well played.

    My phone decided that I should post stuff on the Community Praise Thread. Ruddy technology.
