[QUOTE="haupty:1088672"][QUOTE=there was at least some chance this could have been a half-decent argument. [/QUOTE] What makes an "argument" decent? That's the inherent flaw with an anonymous forum for debate (such as the internet). Sharing views in a way that allows for real discussion is one thing. Civil disagreement can be productive. Lambasting something with an omniscient point of view is the issue. It doesn't encourage people to think about the way they experience something. It just creates tension that turns into closed minded railing on the "other," and inspires hate/prejudice. It's one thing to say a band sucks. That doesn't tell me anything about the band other than your subjective experience. It's another to objectively discuss ("discus" being imho the better alternative to arguing) a band's music. Trust me, if you were to simply say that the riffs aren't innovative and the drumming is uninspired people would get the point that you don't like them. The problem inherent with writing an essay about how much you hate something is that it either neglects substantive information about the topic, or clouds what substance exists in loaded terms that simply incite confrontation and not constructive debate.[/QUOTE]
