I was gonna stay out of this, but since you insist.....
I know that anytime you gather a group of people as diverse as this one, that you are going to periodically have disagreements and even arguments. I even enjoy a good disagreement now and then, because a good healthy discussion allows you to see what another person sees, and even though you may not agree with what they think and say, you can go away having learned at least something from the experience.
That being said, I feel like I cannot and will not argue with somebody like you, who will only see one side of an argument, because they are filled with everything they want to hear about a subject, while not listening to the negatives. Whether this is simply because of your age, or you are really that close-minded is up for debate. I hope and think that it is your age, and that the wisdom and experience will come with time.
However, your recent little tantrum on here has done nothing but prove my point. I have lost any and all respect I have ever had for you because you refuse to give any to anybody else, and continue to carry yourself with the same selfish attitude that you always have. You seem to be in your own little world. But the sad thing is that you have such a sheltered existance that you believe the rest of the world is really missing out on something by not being a part of it. Fact is the rest of the world has been to your little planet, and realized at one point or another that there are better and bigger things in life than worrying about defending a pop star who could care less about them to the death.
Soon after 9/11, the onion (madision, wi) had an article entitled "America longs to care about stupid crap again"....under the headline was a picture of britney spears. Am I saying that she is this "stupid crap"...no (well...maybe). What I am saying is that there are much more important things in life than putting yourself on the line, and making yourself look stupid every time you try and defend her. You are not making her look better, you are making yourself look much more immature, and people have begun to lose respect, as you have started to see.
I hope you grow out of this phase, because I DO think you're a good kid. However, until that point, you're going to remain on my ignore list. Not because I don't want to hear what you have to say, but because you refuse to give me the same opportunity that I give those who debate with me. I will willingly listen to ANYBODY as long as they are intelligent and are willing to open their minds to what I have to say.
You simply refuse to care about anybody but yourself and those like you......sad really.
I hope you read this carefully, and take these words to heart. Maybe if you work at it, you can gain back that respect you've lost for yourself.
