Your opinion does have value. To you. My opinion has value to me. Some people may choose to arbitrarily assign value to either based on their own beliefs and experiences. The ground rules of the game we play dictates that the goal is to convince others that our position is the best, and thus they should attribute value to it. Most valued position at the end of the game wins, or so the game is usually played. The prize we are all competing for is to be the sad little king of a sad little virtual hill somewhere in the internet, for a day.


yes, this is satire.

That is very funny satire.

I must apologize for my bitterness. I am at the lowest point in my life and I guess I am somewhat depressed because of the stress. This game seems like it is going on way too long when I have a pretty good idea how it will end. I really should stay focussed on finishing my book. It may be a life changing accomplishment. Or, it may be a disastrous failure like every other thing I've attempted.

I am sorry.
