I def agree with you there are people out there that are like this (especially in the FB vs Non FB argument). But they are less frequent then this makes it seems. NT just seems to have a decent collection of them howeverOriginally Posted by proper english
good post/point. but im sure you can agree that the generalization is warranted.Originally Posted by Jking0821
I think this is a really big generalization.Originally Posted by proper english
thought it'd be a good read over here..seeing as all the non FBers of NT seem to think they're on some holier than thou type steeze.
with that said, will the non-sheep please chime in on these points?
I am a non-facebooker btw. But to say that the only reason people are anti-conformist is to rebel is stupid. I don't have facebook because i don't like it. Not because the masses have it and i just want to be anti-conformist. Its too stalkerish for me. You can apply this logic to everything in the world.
i wish i had time to skim through those FB threads and paste some of the more outlandish comments over here.

the fact of the matter is this; be you. Don't be like everyone else just to fit in and don't not be like everyone else to not fit in.

You present an interesting thesis, but I'm afraid further research is required for you to support it. Good effort, I will take a dump now.

It's true though, so just do what makes you happy. If you're conforming, eh could be worse. It it goes against the grain, well, here's a cookie. Why is it so hard to just be true to yourself? High school non withstanding, everyone's confused and trying to find themselves in high school
I guess what I should've said was "what you do or don't do does not make you special"

This. If I don't like something, it's not because everyone else is into it, and I just want to be different. Maybe I simply don't like it. I will agree that there are some people who do live life just to go against the grain though.

Take the Twilight craze for example. Now, Twilight is pretty awful. But even worse than Twilight fans were anti-Twilight obsessives. This is a group of people that would take any pretext to hold forth on why Twilight is awful, as if they were breaking the news to people who had been trapped in a cave for 20 years. Not just because they didn't like Twilight, but because they were attempting a saucy in-your-eye rebellion against some kind of monolithic Twilight-loving establishment they thought was dominating society because two or three women in their life wouldn't shut up about the series.
Agreed. Hmmmmm........................
Spoiler [+]Take the RELIGION craze for example. Now, RELIGION is pretty awful. But even worse than RELIGION fans were anti-RELIGION obsessives. This is a group of people that would take any pretext to hold forth on why RELIGION is awful, as if they were breaking the news to people who had been trapped in a cave for 20 years. Not just because they didn't like RELIGION , but because they were attempting a saucy in-your-eye rebellion against some kind of monolithic RELIGION -loving establishment they thought was dominating society because two or three women in their life wouldn't shut up about the series.
Think about it...

I agree, I'm not "anti-religion", I'm anti-religious people. It's kinda like the guns don't kill people argument, religion isn't bad but religious people are just god awful.
