Thanks for the assist.

Yes?
Why do people always think opposites are EEVEIL?
Well, that didn't take long......
I could have fun with this one. Thanks for the idea.
Why do people always think opposites are EEVEIL?
Well. Some of us kind of are.
Actually, that kind of looks like me with my hat off.

I thought that was just part of your head.
Bah! In my day, we used to have to rename winsock.dll to get on the Web. We used to log onto local BBSes with text-only interfaces and command lines... and we did it at 2400 baud... both ways, in the snow! You youngsters!
Not in line mode it didn't! 300 wasn't bad, but 1200 flew!!No way, it must've moved at about a letter a minute!Sadly, I remember with delight the upgrade from 300 to 1200 baud. And not as a child. *sigh*I'm not that old... my parents just didn't understand all the possible trouble 10-12 yro me could possibly get into online (but thankfully didn't).Bah!

I remember being the coolest kid in the local scene when I got a USR 9600 HST ahead of the rest of my fellow geeks. They laid down palm fronds at my feet.

The more I experience the world, the more I'm finding I'd simply rather not know.I think the "good old days" is less a desire for a never-existent world where these problems didn't exist and rather a desire to go back to where we didn't know about them. And boy do I sympathize. The world has become too small, for lack of a better term; too easy to know or think we know everything that's going on. There's many days where I simply wish to be able to go back to not knowing anything about the world beyond the borders of my hometown except for the occasional snippet about some celebrity, the President, or other tidbit one might catch over the news before changing the channel.
We - or I, at least - didn't know what was happening in the next state much less in a country halfway across the world, and there's more than once that I've thought we were better off that way. There is such a thing as knowing too much.
Ignorance is way over rated as the path to happiness.

A happy ending and being ignorantly blissful simultaneously isn't necessarily a bad thing. Is it?

That wasn't my first thought, but yeah.

And yet some days I simply don't care.

I actually think it's a very bad thing. A happy ending is fine. Nobody wants misery. Blissful ignorance? Nope. Being ignorant for reasonable and practical reasons that you can't much help is understandable. We're not all going to be physicists or mathematicians.
But to sit down and say gosh, you wish you just never knew? That's Blue and Orange morality in my book, at best.

Disagree. Especially in the internet age. There are things that one really is best off not seeing or knowing. That said usually such things only exist to be disgusting and I make it a point not to learn about or view anything whose reason d'etre is to be vile.

Samnell, we're probably talking about two different things here. ;0)

I give you an example of a site that fits this paradigm.
I refuse to hyperlink it. You're on your own, folks.
Mr. Fishy disagrees with the horse his ass does not smell of skittles. It smells of laffy taffy and shame.
The smelly bastard is on both sides of Mr. Fishy. Mr. Fishy has no choice.

That's possible.

** spoiler omitted **
I don't see any reasonable objection to the site, and I went and loaded it and everything. I can think of aesthetic objections, but such trifles are not worthy of concern and can't possibly exalt ignorance over knowledge.
Did someone say they had skittles?
