This is called discussion.


"The end of my answer to your answer is the beginning of your answer to my answer."
When you post things like these, people who actually care about what you say WILL actually answer. And, most of the time, not in the way you expect. And you will answer. And they will answer. A picture can be an answer, and such is your picture, an answer to a friggin' damn answer that all three of us, fortunately, seem to detest wholeheartedly (the current governements' stupidity), though perhaps not in the exact same ways. If you don't want answers, you must not post answers.

There are ways to answer to questions, and that is the role of what Japanese people call "omoiyari", thinking about the one you are answering to. Saying yes is easy; we already agree, we are already of the same mind. But when you say no, it is different. When you just straight say "no!" without any explanation, it comes out as being a troll or an insult. Humans don't like "no"s; the Japanese went a little to far into the whole "no" thing, but we all know we do not like being told NO!, so we must bring it on differently when we disagree. We must use this omoiyari all humans should have to try not to accept the other person's point of view, but to look at the view itself and point out what is wrong, slowly, step by step.

This way, instead of turning into a battle of shoutings, it turns into a constructive discussion, where you might actually find something good yourself in what the other answered.

This is called a discussion.
