LOL @ all the people who think they can make a difference. You need a consistent determined effort to change the world and even then you will probably only sway public opinion by a fraction. The only real way to make big changes is to make a discovery and even then the chances are that it would have been discovered in a few years anyway so you can't claim all the credit for the good done by the difference it makes.
See thats kind of what I'm getting at but not completely.
Chances are that unless you are talking to someone with more of a voice than the average citizen then you won't change anything, but there is a chance. I'm definitely not saying that you should stop debating or trying to change stuff in your community or your country because you could actually succeed.

If your argument is that something that's pointless (but fun) shouldn't go on, you may as well not go to this website at all and watch flashes or play games as it doesn't seem to have much impact on your life anyway. I'd also like to note that even if these discussions are pointless, at least they're about relevant topics.
Did you skip over the first line of the thread? Also, if you haven't noticed, there are debates in this thread that I am participating in, if I didn't believe that it shouldn't go on, I probably wouldn't of debated, right?
