KasperHviid: Still - claiming to love something might be used as a polite code for saying that you hate something else.

'I love my country'
MEANS:
'I love hating black people'

'I love progressive values'
MEANS:
'actually, that shit is kind of bland, but I sure hate biggots and fascists'

'I love family values'
MEANS:
'Hating gay people makes me forget my shit family'
The Monty Python translation books are more popular than I thought!

Why do people feed him all the time, you gave him a response, he just got his boner.


Well OP, people are dualistic by nature, because it's easier to handle, a more simplistic way to look at life. Although we all know life isn't black or white but its 90% gray and 10% red or blue (black or white for normal people). It's easier to not think a lot and just say everyone who doesn't agree to you is your enemy and not try to understand them. A lot of the problem is in most people are retarded collectivist sheep-men. When most people think one thing, they start getting the same ideas and take the ideas as truth, especially when deep down they even feel a bit the same way, their thoughts are enforced subconciously. Argumentum ad populum kind-a way.

When there's a majority who disagrees, eg. they are in team white (terminator); and you are in team black (robocop); and there are more terminator fans who diss your movie of your liking you get pissed understandbly. But much easier is to shrug it off, be an adult and understand that people have different ways of thinking and tastes. Both movies are awesome and people who diss one or the other are basically the same people who kill or yell at people who think the other way (for either religious matters or some other shit).
Most people get offended on the internet by it aswell, but there's no reason to take it into heart. It the goddamn internet, not real life, just fucking turn off the screen and go smoke a ciggie or get a new beer/vodka from the fridge and chill.

jsidhu762: Hello mortals!

There's a pretty common behaviour and mentality on the internet that I don't really understand. I'll summarize it like this: if you like one thing, that means by default you hate something else. Like if I start talking about Robocop someone will get in my face and demand to explain why I hate Terminator so much (which I don't).

A pretty common one is portrayal of the Joker. I prefer Nicholson's adaptation - but if I say that someone reading what I typed would assume that I think Romero's, Hamil's, and Ledger's versions are absolutely terrible (also not true).

What's the logic behind this reasoning? I apologize if it's a stupid question, I'm not the brightest bulb in the oven.
Of course Robocop beats the Terminator. Everyone knows that:

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Breja: People are getting more and more to binary thinking. No complexity, no shades of grey, just thumbs up or thumbs down. Best ever and worst ever. Even rating a video on YouTube on a scale of five stars become too complex years ago, and was replaced with thumbs up/thumbs down. There is no time for details, you're suuposed to twit that something is #BestEver #GaveMeCancer and move on.
I agree with this one with the wattage of ten thousand oven light bulbs plus one more.

BlueMooner: I think most people online are younger, and are more inclined to describe things in absolutes. "best movie evar! That athlete suxxor!"

I think most people are poorly educated, and such lack of education leads people to more black/white perspectives, as leaders train them to think that way.

People in a forum all loving something may feel personally "attacked" when someone says something less than positive, so they lash back.

As mentioned previously, people may speak in code when they say they're for X, but really meaning they're against Y. "I'm not against gay marriage, I'm pro traditional marriage."
Education fosters perspective. The more you understand, the better prepared you will be at valuing experiences. Makes sense.

Hahaha, I just had to + this post. )))))
Maybe it is just more fun to hate something than to like something? Or easier to express your love for something in your hate for something else?
I recently had that with Messi vs Ronaldo. Somewhere i said that i love Messi and his skills is amazing. And quickly a few people said i am an idiot and Ronaldo is the best footballer ever. I like them both but i didnt have chance to say it :)) I stayed silent until Ronaldo and Messi funs finished exchanging words.

The reason behind this? God knows.

Sounds like a..."Messi" situation!
