About a decade ago, it was really common for older conservatives to grumble about "participation trophies" and how they made kids, specifically millennials, lazy and entitled. The thought was that, if everyone gets a prize whether they do well or not, it teaches people who are terrible at the thing in question that they're just as good as everyone else at it, and so they feel like they don't need to learn or grow.
I'm very skeptical that kids couldn't tell the difference, personally. But also, since it was always a conservative argument, I find it really ironic how much the right wing today has this "participation trophy" attitude, at least for debate.
Just because you're emotionally attached to your opinions doesn't mean they're based on facts. It's not enough to say "everyone has their own opinion, let's all hold hands", when some of those opinions are based on errors that can be proven to be errors, and some of them are doing active harm to people and to the environment.
Alternative facts are not facts, they are lies.
I strongly disagree with you, I think all of us strongly agree with our own Facts. If you wish read my Sig, I cant force you or any persons to read my Sig.
You are entitled to your opinion but not your own facts. There is no such thing as alternative facts. You believing something doesn;t make it true.
