SodaHead: A treaure chest of stupidity

[mythbuster43]

The idea of an internet forum where people of different and diverse opinions can express their views sounds like a good idea in theory. But in execution, what happens when said people have no idea what they're talking about, are incapable of arguing beyond straw man fallacies, staggering stupidity, astounding levels of psychological projection, a complete lack of tact or civility, and a level of immaturity that would embarrass twelve-year olds? You get SodaHead, which is one of the many things on the internet that is making me lose my faith in humanity.

Seriously, the people on that website are so goddamn stupid, it's unbelievable.

After a quick look through the site... yeah, I have to agree. The occasional voices of reason are drowned out by the bullshit, and a fair number of them apparently can't figure out what question they are answering. Seriously, read through this and count how many people are saying "yes" while giving arguments for "no" and vice-versa.

It actually brings to mind a less-useful version of Yahoo! Answers, and I never thought I'd type that sentence.

Believe it or not, that's how a lot of conversations are in real life, too. Most people aren't logicians, and any crowd is guaranteed to have a few immature threads of conversation.

Went through the SodaHead archives today, and saw some discussions on Obama.

Holy shit. you'd think you were reading Moonbattery.

Saw a poll on Nine Inch Nails' new album. The comments left me boiling mad, especially the one that called Trent Reznor a Satanist, and the one that said the band should go suck a dick. These morons wouldn't know skill, talent or good music if I beat them to death. Wait, that phrase makes no sense. Screw it, can we just form a mob and hunt them down?
