You're downvoted because you're exactly right. People on here generally can't handle inconvenient truths that include themselves. Never trust a person who can't rend their garments.

> This generation

No. Resoundingly NO! These smug clowns can't speak for anything and anyone. They're not even a generation, just farts in the wind. Even just 1% of the people paying attention outweigh them easily, and at any rate, the world belongs to those who genuinely care about it. Period, anyone who disagrees can come fight me. Think less "no child left behind" and more "Noah's Ark"; they had their chance, they made their choice, let's not be held hostage by them. At the very least, let them queue after those who are not ungrateful.

Can I flag you? Yes? Oh, there's the link. I just flagged you.

You see, this is why some of us want less politics on HN. Because every political topic inevitably turns into people doing the thing you're doing here - assuming that those who have different views than you are "smug clowns", instead of trying to figure out why their views differ from yours.

And you are holding speeches about tolerance??

How tolerant about different views are you? Or are you just misusing your power?

So much about the "tolerance of the self assigned tolerance watchers".

[TeMPOraL]

HN rules are: full tolerance for differing opinions. No tolerance for low-quality or uncivil posting.

I fear, you are right.

Every time, I speak out for the truth on HN, I am down voted continuously, only half-hearted tech-blabla is suffered here.

What adds up hat HN: Any discussion about important future stuff is instantly penalized by the system here. I really regret to have registered at all.

Just doing geek-stuff and enjoying the live as techie is just to hollow for me. It really makes me sad.

Not every. Be precise. I checked.

I disagree. Just browse the front page history if you don't believe me. There's plenty of discussions about important future stuff that's hanging on the front page every week. It's just that we have a strong quality expectation here, both in terms of posted articles and the discussions they generate.

  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And I agree. It's hollow for me too. Personally however, I find politics to be one of the least effective and least efficient way of contributing to betterment of the world. Many people on HN disagree with me about that. But either way, lots of people are interested in things outside the tech sphere. It's just that when people are interesting in changing things, they're interesting in actually changing things - and not being sidetracked by ego-based flamewars.

And I guess, you are just plainly the smartest person in the world.

At least, you paint nice pictures.

Aww, blush <3.
