And just because the majority of people think something, it doesn't make it automatically right. Heck, just look at the Boston 3 sports teams thread. Everyone was arguing about the odds, and flaming me etc. and my odds turned out to be wayyyyyy more correct than everyone who was arguing against me.
So I take it that you can't ever remember one time in which everyone in the thread told me I was wrong and I didn't change my view, correct? And thanks for bringing up yet another thread where you did the same thing(and I fully disagree with you that you were correct, lol...but I'm not going to argue that anymore).
"People don't realize the rules"
WTF? Do you think we're a bunch of third graders or something? Contrary to what you might think, there are a lot of intelligent people out there perfectly capable of understanding basic rules and applying them. Its funny how when the majority disagree with you, you just adopt this "well everyone else is an idiot" type of stance. I probably had the same type of attitude before I went to college, but as I grew up I realized how immature it was and how it actually hurt my intellectual development. I guess you havn't realized that yet.
