I read a friend's post about the PBB issue and, although he did not state that it is in response to my first post, as I read through it, I knew that he was a bit offended of what I posted in my previous entry and he prepared a counter-statement for every point that I tried making.
Sure, I get the point of things being pointless.. because it's fun that way. I catch myself often doing pointless things. I would just like to clarify some things that he may have taken in a different angle than I would've liked it presented.
Call me narrow-minded but I tend to associate people that watch those kind of shows as shallow (or even stupid) people that doesn't see the things that make these shows run.
I wanted to present that it is my personal opinion in considering these people shallow. I did not say however that I consider all of them stupid. It's an OR statement. I understand that this friend of mine hates being called stupid because he is, in fact, one of the smarter persons in my class.
Besides, what difference can my opinion do to the rest of the world? Just because I think that you are such does not mean that you really are. Everything's subjective, my friend.
I do find my fault however, of seeing them as generally shallow or stupid instead of just in one area. I should've said easy to be entertained (which is more or less equivalent to shallow) but stupid was just overkill. My mistake there.
In response with this incident, I added a word of caution over at my sidebar. I suggest that you guys avoid to take things like this too personally. I warned a lot of my initial readers that this blog would be controversial. I failed, perhaps, in letting the rest of you know.
Word of Caution
Things posted here can (and will) induce violent reactions. Just be reminded that these things are my opinions and not in any way (or necessarily be) the general truth. Comment on the post if you have any reactions. I do not moderate the comments because you are entitled to your own opinions with your right to freedom of speech.
Furthermore, some topics may not be appropriate for you, depending upon your beliefs(primarily), strength of faith in your religion and your character integrity.
I usually disobey normal writing ethics by writing with a complete bias on one side because absolute objectivity, I believe, can never be attained.
You have been warned.
