taking things that get people angry more seriously.

And especially opinions that get me angry.

That's really fascinating. Something to think about.

It is interesting.  As I read, I tried to think of things that I can't say.  I can't say that I hate my mother's boyfriend to his face.  I can't tell my friend's mother that how she treats her daughter isn't fair.  I can't say, depending on who I'm with, that I'd like to kill every pedophile myself.  I can't say to a miserable, abused person that I don't think that they're strong enough.  

It took me awhile to understand what you mean, OP, and now that I do, I can relate.  When people tell me that they don't want gays to get married, that all fat people or lazy, or that addicts are selfish and uncaring, I do get angry.  Why?  Because I don't want them to make anyone else feel that way.

This article may very well have effected how I will one day raise my children.  

It's lovely.  Thanks for posting.

OMG it was bumped back to the top yay!

Thats extremely interesting.
The whole concept of time, and generations is insane.
Just think in like 10 years ipods will probably hold terabytes.
