This is why some folks in California are trying to set a ball in motion to amend the Constitution to change that restriction.

I hate to be the guy who muddies up your moment of clarity... I don't belive that posting on the internet necessarily rules out intimidation or other factors that peers cause when stating an opinion. I think, just like the real world, one can find themselves articulating an opinion based on not offending certain other people...or a variety of other reasons to censor or mold a post into not being quite as pure as you described.Leaf wrote:jack shite wrote:this is fast turning into the best thread here
it occured to me in a lucid moment that every person I pass has opinions, and that one of the strengths of the internet is the fact that everyone's opinions have equal merit in presentation, as one can not physically intimidate, use body language, etc...
That is absolutely correct. Illustrating that is all the 'tough guys' on the internet who , like 15-16 up there, can fark you all up on the internet. In real life though, I could whoop 15-16's @$$, broken glass and all! We are all a little braver on the internet aren't we ? ! ?Leaf wrote:ok ok I'm being idealistic....<b>still, you don't get many people walking up to you and randomly pointing you to to cookingwithcum.com page in the real world for example... there IS a difference between internet communicaiton and real life, in it's anyominity</b>...spelled different of course!\
However, ya ya you're kinda right, I'm being idealistic...it was a nice thought.

2. ...ok, ok, I admit, while it was gross, it was also mindblowingly interesting, and I've ended up telling quite a few people about it, which completely contradicts what I 've just said.... I am the king of hypocrisy.
yeah it's fascinating exactly because it is gross. And also because it's soooo stupid!Leaf wrote: ...ok, ok, I admit, while it was gross, it was also mindblowingly interesting, and I've ended up telling quite a few people about it, which completely contradicts what I 've just said....

Actually, the only difference in this instance between real life and internet is I'd tell you about it if we met in a bar, but I'd get the address wrong, and you'd probably forget about it on the way home anyway.
No, not that kind of bar
