[QUOTE="weasel, post: 509303, member: 14"] Whilst I agree about it being a wider problem, more to do with social media and the way of the world ATM, I couldn't disagree with the first sentence more. The vast majority of people are ****ng morons with opinions and ideas that are wildly inaccurate, daft or just plain wrong. To make matters worse, most have no interest in reading/researching or checking their opinions are valid/correct. 'It's my opinion and it's right.' Quite why we are all now subject to hearing them and why ANYONE thinks that is/was a good idea is beyond me. Without bringing politics into it, look at how much BS has been spouted by BOTH sides on the Brexit issue. How many people have you seen on Facebook or Twitter spouting off some **** that you know is wrong or such a twisting of the facts as to make their point entirely void!? Again, BOTH sides are as bad as each other so don't anyone try and turn this into a Brexit thread or blame the other side in that debate for being worse than their side. Social media has some plus points but it is overwhelmingly negative added to the current obession with people seemingly feeling they are entitled to be offended by anything that they disagree with and that somehow means something. It doesn't, but those attitudes have spilled over into SW and into people's discussions of the films and indeed collecting in general. It's sad. I long for 'a more civilised age'. [/QUOTE]
