like, I am in favor of vaccines, but that's because I have read books and heard both sides of the story ad nauseam and blahblahblah
a lot of the time around these forums I basically get the idea that everyone holds these opinions only because everyone else does, and just because they are generally enlightened and educated opinions doesn't entirely excuse that
shank you're being a stupid shit here
If they're enlightened and educated then aren't they innately well thought out and not blindly accepted

look, shank is a bigger fan of vaccines than you are you poser! he has all the manga and even has the super rare dolls that were never officially imported to the U.S. so you're just a stupid fag who's riding the fad.

The opinions are enlightened and educated
people who blindly subscribe to said opinions are not themselves enlightened and educated, is what he's saying

If I ran a hospital I would be all "Look if you want to have your baby here you are signing right here to accept these proven safe vaccinations for the child or you can go home and have your hubby play mid-wife with some towels and a pan of hot water.

well it's more that I agree with the opinion, I guess
I'm not trying to be all "it's the fucking illuminati" here but I believe in the concept of healthy distrust
not of "the government" or anything retarded like that, and I'm not saying you need to exhaustively research every topic you want to have an opinion on
also I don't even own a keffiyeh so I don't know when that was

I'd like you to know that I agree with this sentiment I was just prodding you with semantics to get you clarify it in better terms
So apparently I'm not going to English class because I'm lazy.
Apparently? You're so lazy you can decide for certain that your laziness is the reason for not going, like maybe you also have a cake in the oven or something but man decisions

okay well if you're not just trying to get me riled up then I will get a little more specific
I am saying that the original people who form these opinions, on these boards and elsewhere, are enlightened and educated. They have done research, they have a well-thought out and moderated opinion, they can discourse at length on the topic and it's basically clear that they're super-bright and know what they're talking about.
Then people come along and agree with them and all, but when actually pressed they basically just parrot back bits and pieces of the original opinion without actually making a clear and effective argument, so it becomes obvious that instead of knowing the facts themselves and without admitting "yeah, ok, I believe this but am not the best person to argue the point" they just get more and more antagonistic and inflammatory.
manifests in young college freshmen where they suddenly think they are smarter and more enlightened than everyone around them because their professor is introducing them to new ideas
it's mindblowing
It's called being a hipster, pony.
no but it's more than that
i know lots of hipsters
my girlfriend's in university, some of her friends are hipsters
and yeah, hipsters are annoying
but there's this sort of madness that afflicts some people when they start in college
they turn into mouthpieces for their professors and espouse with absolute conviction viewpoints and ideas they might've been taught last week
after that first year, it seems to taper off and temper itself
but i don't know maybe it's the intoxication of new knowledge and an opening of one's worldview or whatever
but fuck if it ain't annoying and it turns otherwise okay people into arrogant shits

like I understand that you will be able to say "yeah you're just saying that because you're a freshman" and yeah, ok, whatever, you got me there
however, you're kind of just being an incredible asshole here. First of all, you're talking about absolute conviction in spite of the fact that that's the very thing I'm arguing against. Second of all, instead of addressing me you are dicking around in the thread trying to passive-aggressively undermine what I'm saying. At least be forthright, the "talking shit about someone while they're in the room" is a pretty laughable way of acting towards people.

What the hell Shankill? You are taking Pony's posts way to seriously. He isn't playing passive aggressive against you, he probably isn't even thinking of you when he is typing.
