It's not difficult to find people who admit to being hypocrites, but admitting to being one and doing something about it are two entirely different issues. I'm sorry to say that I don't particularly agree with most of what you've said, both here and elsewhere, but the methodology is definitely different. Perhaps I should rephrase my statement as "[it] will probably never *significantly* impact on anyone".

Being challenged is fine and all, and I'm glad I could provide some sort of stimulation and provocation to you... but again, this only proves my point above. Words and comments are two entirely different things, but hey; at least I could inform someone of my views. Guess I'm able to educate without being patronizing and shoving it down someone's throat after all (':

Yes, but admitting to it is at least the first step. And I hardly find anybody willing to do that at all. Oh well, that's fine because everybody is indeed different, proven here. Significantly, maybe not. But I still found it a fun conversation at the least. And sure, words and comments are two different things.

I think anybody can "educate" or converse without patronizing or shoving things down others' throats. I was not necessarily educated here, but it was delightful enough for me to come to understand a different ideology. Hopefully, I didn't seem like I was shoving my own ramblings down your throat either.

Just like slapping a bandaid over a wound, in other words (owo)b I wouldn't necessarily say that debating an issue which has such a terrible impact when applied in real life is fun so much as it is necessary, but as you've said; each to their own. Then again, I've proven your point as well by how this has concluded (?); you cannot change views if the views do not wish to be changed.

Though I think it's not a matter of perception when it comes to educating; you either learn something new and come to an understanding of it, or you don't. If you were truly 'shoving [your] ramblings down [my] throat' then I wouldn't be able to reply after a few minutes and would, instead, be obliged to reply within seconds, but that would be taking things literally.

Well, if that's how you see it, then sure, I was educated. Anyway, LOL, it's obvious we're different but similar enough since we do seem to share some views seeing as how I did agree with you on certain things. There's no need to further it anymore, in my opinion. We both aren't wrong, just very different. And I respect that. I think this is a good place to end this wall of text, good night!

It's not a matter of how I perceive education or not; education is defined as being told something, much like how I would say I were educated on the topic of palm trees if you pointed one out to me. Agreement, on the other hand, would be a perception, though I do agree with you when you say that we are very different in our perceptions and our views.

Thank you for respecting my views! Like I've rehashed before, though, respect is one thing but reactions are another. If you need to sleep then by all means, feel free to do so, but I am afraid that I'm a long-winded individual and I would much prefer to clarify/elaborate on points if I believe there is a need to do.

Not that I mind the clarification, it's just I felt this was getting long and we've already moved passed our discussion. Anyway, I've given you a follow since I admire your passion.

Well, involved discussions are always wont to extend themselves when people continue contributing, so I don't mind obliging. Thank you for your kindness, though! In the interest of, as you say, keeping this status as is, feel free to message me if you have any further comments; otherwise, I'll leave this comment to molder in peace.

I don't have any comments as of now and don't think I will on this topic since you're already very descriptive and meticulous, LOL. But hey I'm open for further conversation if *you* so wish.

As you were the one to approach me first, I would be more than happy to act as you see fit. I do believe you contradicted yourself when you mentioned you had no further comments though; clearly, this exchange is too stimulating for you to leave my wall quite yet (;

Maybe so. (; Oh boy, we'll be here all night if this continues, LOL.

Or it will fade when one of us has lost the willpower to continue. Either way, my inbox is open and the offer still stands (unless you prefer commenting on this wall instead, in which case I will be more than happy to oblige).

LOL, Naahhh. I've gotta get to sleep eventually. I'll be taking my leave, I feel like this is complete. Good night now!

I assume you don't live anywhere near where I live, then, since it's a few hours until acceptable bedtime here. Have a good night!

You're right about that. It's 3 A.M. here, LOL. Thanks!

3... am... how does one even function at a time like that...

...One doesn't...
