  Why do people love trying to make complex issues black and white?
Because they love the resulting attention.

Also because most people find it very easy to convince themselves they've come up with a simple solution to a very complicated issue.

Come now, we can be more mature than this. The OP may be an oversimplification of the issue, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't earnestly see and want to fix a problem.

It's human nature to try to understand things. And the best way to do that is to simplify the issue. But some things just cant be simplified.
