Triton - OMG, Please stop! Don't give a reason to mods to close this topic, please!
@Triton
First of all, in my view OMG wasn't trolling or whatever, he just expressed his feeleings about this thread. Ya know, not only positive or supporting post allowed, I can't see it in the rules :wink:
The thing is, we need opinions from both sides. OMG is somebody who dislike reading deep books or don't really care about language. I personally have no problem with him becouse of this at all. We are all individualities, who have different qualities, and those qualities don't always match ya know. Respect each others individuality and opinion, that's all I ask

@OMG
Well, thats some viewpoint
I was, who stated that opinion about slang, sorry. I didn't meant to diss slangers, I just tryed to say, that more and more people know less and less words is their mother language. This causes that they won't read books, becouse they don't understand it. And many of them don't really have imagination(becouse of TV and things like that) so they cannot digest the contents of a deep book and understand what the author meant by writing it.
Mass media is good, becouse it entertains people, but it also makes them more and more rejective to deep, complicated entertaintment, like Freud, Hemmingway, Attila József or Asimov. These authors didn't written just words on a paper. They expressed feelings and complex thoughts and implemented it into their works. These works need to be "decoded", understanded before you can enjoy them, and many of the "TV lazy" people don't take the time for these kind of entertainments.
@all
Music is a great thing. Sound waves are strange things. It can couse unbearable pain and unbeliavable euphoria in one time. It depends on the point of view
k: Let's take Heavy Metal. I presonally very like that kind of music. Hard, powerful instuments, high tempo, deep lyrics, deep thoughts. Many people don't even think of HM as music. They think it is a cacophonic noise made by drugged idiots. I think the same about rap, but I don't diss rappers about it. Acceptance is the key here
Opinions differ, but I like that
