    how can you tell if the thing is real or if you're in a pod somewhere with wires in your brain making you think the thing is real?

    You don't

    Can’t we all just be more accepting of both? Each of us have our own preference, of course, but that doesn’t make the other option less viable. And what about those who want no sort of thing at all?

    Why do we need a poll on this sort of thing? It's not like there are already countless topics regarding it already. It's like we're talking in circles every time this sort of thing gets brought up.

    A few salient facts for people to mull over....

    A recent survey showed that we will all be over $4000 worse off per mean household in 34 years time if this sort of thing continues unchecked. And not only that, but this sort of thing will have a negative impact on house prices of between 9 and 14%, and in places where this sort of thing exceeds 3.6 particles per million levels of fun drop by two thirds!

    Get real, people!

    Hmmm… Source? I would like to check those figures myself.

    Had to break the tie even though I don't believe anything will help everything.

    Sounds to me like this poll is biased. I thought this was exactly the sort of thing we were hoping to avoid?

    Don't run a mean household. B-) the problems only happen to mean households according to the biased poll.

    While I do think that this sort of thig shouldn't continue unchecked, I also doubt it will have a strong impact on any kind of stuff.

    Now I wish I'd posted "That would be an ecumenical matter."

    It has been brought to my attention that stuff lovers are getting involved in this discussion.

    Now....

    Whilst I have nothing against stuff in general (and have actually been known to enjoy this kind of stuff, that kind of stuff and very rarely any kind of stuff), on this occasion I gently remind people we are discussing things, not stuff.

    So can we stay on topic and limit our discussion to this sort of thing.

    I was looking for a thing, but then the guy took the thing, so now the thing is gone.

    OH COME ON. This sort of thing is the sole reason why we can never have a proper discussion about that stuff. Sure, they may have had nothing in common at first, but seeing as now whenever you bring that stuff up you get told down hearing that sort of thing, well it goes to show that one camp is trying to silence the other. I think if we want to really have a meaningful discussion about this sort of thing we not only need to accept talking about that kind of stuff but even embrace the matter.

    Things don't matter, but stuff doesn't.
