Exactly.....
Sounds a bit like exaggerated stories.....

But the internet says so, it must be fact

There were a bunch of court cases a few years ago because employers were telling employees that they needed to give out social media passwords in order to continue employment.
It's definitely not made up and it's very sad that people allow it to happen.

I mean, NO!
 
The current culture of user engagement with media. When a news story breaks out, it's always framed from a moral standpoint and the outlet (whether it's network news, BuzzFeed, or some celebrity sharing an article) tries to foster user engagement by asking, "Is this okay? Why should or shouldn't this happen? What's your opinion?"

If this is how users digest and engage with the stories of the day, it's no wonder we're so polarized and exhausted with each other. All we ever do is bicker over fickle, diverse morals. Why not deeply examine policy? Why not talk about effectiveness, efficiency, whether something does what it's intended to do? Numbers, data, returns. Most people don't get a chance to exercise those analytical muscles, but they love reacting and sharing opinions. They've been trained to, encouraged to. It's partly why we're so quick to pitch strawmen, to draw caricatures of each other, to evaluate political candidates based on how good they make us feel, not whether their methods achieve what they say they do.

Morality is important. But morality is also subjective. And moral stances on certain issues unfortunately tend to predict moral stances on other things, encouraging partisanship (which, if we're evaluating effectiveness, is a great way to ensure user engagement -- but a terrible way to get anything else done).

TL;DR: Let's flirt with objectivity by asking "Does it?" and "How?" more often than "Is it okay?" I'd like to think we'd have a better time finding common ground that way. We may still not agree on everything, but surely we can agree on a hell of a lot more than we've been led to believe.

Chicks that wear tops 3 sizes too small so their **** are hanging out but then have the nerve to give you a dirty look when you stare at them instead of making eye contact. If u don't want men to look at your **** cover them up for gods sake with clothing that fits, if all I see is big **** what do you expect me too look at, maybe I should just look down and talk to them while looking at their feet
