i thought it was so appropriate and important to remember, i thought id post it here. do you guys agree with him? i do, but occasionally ill get drawn into those long religion debates and spend an hour doing nothing. we should all take this comment by this_is_not_spy to heart.

It is not about knocking down clouds; it is about having fun throwing shoes.

I have something similar.

[Anarchemitis]

I have a better quote.

Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live

 

[Space Spoons]

It's a good quote indeed. I'm inclined to agree. Then again...

It is not about knocking down clouds; it is about having fun throwing shoes.

This is an excellent corollary.

Bad analogies are useless. They're like trying to take the derivative of fascism.

Internet discussions aren't pointless, really. Though often they're argueing a moot point (because regardless of what people think, this discussion isn't going to change the world), they can definitely influence the way some people think and thus the way they act. Which can in turn influence all the people around them.

What *is* generally pointless is getting angry at the person you're discussing with. In real life, this anger server a purpose. On the web, it's there but even if you can expres it, it will most likely not make a difference.
