    I agree so much.

    I love discussing things with people who think differently than I do, that’s how we learn. We should be able to disagree in a civil way and exchange ideas and understand each other and eventually agree to disagree.

    But we can’t.

    Online it’s either one extreme or the other.

    When is someone going to have the balls to create a place where people can argue and talk shit out? Or is that just too mature for the kids online these days who cannot handle a disagreement?

    Maybe there should be online discussions that are age restricted. No teenagers, 30+ adults only. I wonder if that would be better or worse

        I mean I always try, because I believe in it.

        I think I’ve probably lost 40% of my total upvotes having this conversation though. On reddit when you go too deep into negative karma you need to make a new account because you can’t post in a lot of communities at that point

          I think you’re speaking with people willing to engage and you’re not seeing it. Downvotes don’t mean people aren’t discussing, it means they don’t agree or they think you’re coming from a trolling place.

            No no, I don’t mean anyone specifically in this conversation

            I was more speaking in general.
