Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I downvoted at-first, but I just explained this to my son yesterday. Over 90% of us are sheep, and over half of that are just sheep who are concerned primarilly with the social-status and evident power/autority of anyone who tries to give them directions, no matter how correct or absurdly-wrong the directions. They actively despise the notion of thinking for themselves.

EDIT: To be clear, I myself prefer to take direction if the situation is complex-enough. I infinitely-moreso prefer to follow directions I can ascertain/understand on-my-own to be correct - but its not the whole 90% that disgusts me, and I try-not-to dolize those who are too head-strong to follow directions.
