If it's controversial why should it be relegated to back pages?

The front page is the perfect place for such communication, the lack of truly social discourse and individualistic isolation is what creates such reactionary tension while trying to reconcile all the distortions in the zeitgeist of the world.

I think mental stressors of such social failure is whats leading to such childish ideas that adults seem to preoccupy their lives with today, and environmental pollution is definitely contributing to bringing those about.




If it's controversial why should it be relegated to back pages?

I didn't suggest it should be.

I will note that so far I have two replies, both nominally "arguing against" my supposed "position" here. Both strike me as a wild misinterpretation of what I have said.

And that's exactly why tossing out questions or comments on a front page post on a large forum can be problematic.

Which isn't to say one should never do such. But it's frequently not exactly gratifying.
