This is the most inane opinion board I've ever seen. What happened to the REAL message threads on yahoo that used to attract adults?

For those of you who wrote, rather inanely in my opinion, that 'this is not a forum,' I recommend that you seek out the definition of the word. A forum is a marketplace, and any medium in which ideas are exchanged qualifies as such.

As far as 'discrimination' is concerned, I suggest that some of the young people here begin to consider that there are no easy answers in this life. Please develop your critical thinking skills, noting that there is ambiguity in words like 'discriminate' and 'critical.'
Ask yourselves, when something is 'critical,' is it vitally important, serious enough to require attention, or is it a caustic comment?
(With that in mind, I hope the young man who is critical of smoking will also share his discriminating comments with the obese.)
