So, to extrapolate...The only useful conversations that exist are those between people who hold exactly the same views on everything. That way, they can validate each other - and by extension, themselves. In the fullness of time, once those peksy kids with their non-uniform hobbies have been sent to the wall, once the social pariahs with their irritatingly-individual personality traits have been systematically ostricised and eventually bred out of the population, the newly-emerged race of Midwich Cuckoo-like clones can exist together in a orgy of bland mediocrity, none ever raising their head above the parapet.
Sounds ace.
A wise man once said, "People have different opinions - that's part of life. Accept it, and move on."

I prefer the:"Opinions are like arseholes - everyone has one, and most of them stink."

Only if 'to extrapolate' actually means'Make up a load of overly verbose bullshit and try and claim that's what you were saying.'
I hardly think you can call being obsessed with WOW an 'individual' personality trait, or a 'non-uniform' hobby. How many of them are there, plugging their brains into the geek-matrix?
Like I said, I respect everyone's right to have a different opinion. What I don't respect is having that opinion rammed down my throat like an altar boy faced with a horny priest. I don't mind if someone spends their time with these hobbies - they're just not things I want to spend over an hour discussing. I don't think that's going to lead to some kind of trendy-fascist dictatorship. Although, if I hear about another 'area of effect spell' in the pub again, I may well line them up against the wall and shoot them myself
