I’m not saying that everyone should agree with me on certain topics, and I’m not saying that I win at all debates but people really suck at online debating. Most people do. Facebook is proof of that. So is this blog, other forums, and other sites. People just suck at online debating ’cause most of them don’t know what they’re talking about most of the time. I’m not saying that I’m better at debating than everyone else ’cause I know I’m not.

When I post something to debate about online anywhere, I express my opinion on something (whether it’ll be something about politics, music or anything in the news)… it’s just my honest opinion. Everything I post online usually is my honest opinion; that’s all it really is. If someone else or a few other people disagrees with it, they’ll want to get into a back and forth argument with you. The other person I’m debating with will think that they’re telling their side of the truth. Everyone wants to think they’re right on something, all the time and the other people you’re debating with want to act like they are smarter than you.

I like internet debating and all but sometimes it can be a huge pain in the ass and people can be annoying. What I want to see in internet debates is intelligent people writing insightful and positive discussions… ya know, being accepting of others opinions without getting into hateful arguments. Other people will think you’re wrong and they’ll think you’re a whacky person only if your opinion is different than everyone else’s.

That’s how the internet works, I guess. It is what it is. The internet is an open forum and you’ll come across all kinds of weird people all over the place. They’ll want to accuse you of being whacky because you’re different but to tell you the truth, everyone is whacky as hell. We’re all crazy, and that includes me.

When I express an opinion on something like say I’m not a fan of those e-reader gadgets. Another example, I think Scott Weiland is not replaceable for STP, and another big one my anti-Obama rants. People will reply and have an exact opposite opinion then they’ll want to think you’re wrong on everything you said. You see that’s the thing I don’t get. Nothing is factual on either side. We’re all being opinionated on stuff. In other words, people are being opinionated all around. Everyone wants to think they’re telling the truth but in reality they’re opinionated too.

I’ve repeatedly said over the years in my blog, it’s kind of hard to have differences of opinions than everyone else online but I don’t give a shit. That’s how bad the media and pop culture controls people. They help manipulate people to have the same opinions on everything in the news, and I don’t have to be that guy really. Sometimes I feel that other people like what I say and they actually find my discussions interesting, they like to reply with a different opinion and thought because they enjoy that kind of attention with me. They want to see my reaction.

I’m all fine with people having differences of opinions on topics, just wish people would be more accepting of my opinions and thoughts, that’s the point I’m trying to make but whatever. This is the internet and like I said, people are whacked and can be douchebags sometimes. I don’t feel ashamed or guilty of my thoughts and opinions on certain topics. I don’t feel ashamed of being different. It’s not a crime. When I write my thoughts and opinions about things, I don’t change ’em no matter how hard people try to defend their points. I’ll hold onto my thoughts and opinions ’til the very end.

This is about being yourself and not giving a rats-ass what anyone else thinks. Once in a while we’ll get a few intelligent people who will get into friendly debates and know what they’re talking about but there are not too many like that on here.
