There may be a thing or two about Cracked that I'd feel like criticising... but this is beautiful. Thanks, Khan.

I never understand why people think cynicism is cool when the world is getting much better.

Because self-pity is so much easier.

It's mostly the older generations and the non-critical thinkers that mindlessly watch the news and read the Youtube comments section, thinking that this necessarily means our generation is the shittiest.

This is true.

And we have countless vids of animal cruelty and rape-wishes on Facebook to serve as an excuse for it.

That's complete and utter bullshit; just look at NSG, for one thing.

A positive outlook is the new avant-garde ideology. Cynicism is too mainstream.

Anyway, Caspian and Divia should reply to Azazel.

Rest of you, sorry I couldn't post, got busy.

It's alright, we all know how stressful the robot apocalypse must be to orchestrate.

And you thought I was fucking kidding!

After gaining his nifty new vocabulary, Watson came down with what was perhaps history's first case of digital Tourette's, and even took to replying to researchers' questions with "bullshit" when a simple "false" would have sufficed.

NSG has the interesting tendency to feel anyone disagreeing with them is a troll.

This is, quite possibly, the most glorious example I have ever seen.

Meh, NSG has its flaws, but as a whole it has its virtues: it's extremely LGBT-accepting, it has a modicum of religious and ethnic diversity (even if it's users are overwhelmingly American), there's several well-educated users, and even if there's plenty of petty fights and whatnot, there's still a certain degree of solidarity.

They're always right!

Meh, it's not an entirely unreasonable thing to say, even if the hubris in it is quite strong.

So are plenty of non-argumentative, non-judgmental people.

NSG has the same hate that its opponents do, merely directed at something new. It's a bad environment.

I sincerely always wonder why my other forums stay polite even though it's split between Indians and Pakistanis.

Although we do always address each other with various honorifics to be polite, and there's a rule banning direct attacks on religious beliefs or nationalities.

Which would cause the average Generalite to be banned on sight.

What about my lovely article on Jews as the master race because of the gorgeous beards (I can't even say this with a straight face) Jewish men used to wear. Trolling white supremacists is like trolling Voldemort. It's acceptable, and generally encouraged.

Used to?

You should hang out with some Orthodox Jews. They're very interesting.

Trolling homophobes and such too. Or often just trolling religious people.

Plus, there's a lot of disguised racism.

*shrugs* Doesn't make whoever says that a troll, an asshole or an idiot.

It's only a bad enviroment on some particular topics... but let's agree to disagree.

Well, I for one would like to see a bit less 'lolchristianityisstupid' and a bit more 'my argument against christian doctrine is...'.

I'll make you a bet - what would happen if I took on a puppet, went into an LGBT general thread and said that?

Head on a pike.

Here's the thing; NSG is right most of the time. (As far as I can tell.) But here's the wonderful thing about people - no matter how wrong they are, no matter how stupid or ignorant they can be, they're just trying to be good.

And NSG will eat a good person alive because they're "wrong" about something. Maybe they're hateful, but that does not beget hatred.

Going by my NSG experience thus far? You'd get 50% extremely-snarky-but-not-too-vitriolic questions and counter-arguments, 30% not-particularly-snarky questions and counter-arguments, and about 10% of new users flaming your ass off.

EDIT: And the other 10% would be me stuck between staring in bewilderment at the monitor and going on an all out, ad-hominem-free assault.

I fully agree NSG as a whole aligns with my own beliefs on most things, especially social issues.

But they're cunts about it.

Humans in general are good. The problem is that sometimes we try to do good while being extremely ignorant or misguided towards other people.
