What is the most appropriate forum for an intelligent exchange of ideas?
Why, an online discussion board, of course. And if you can't find one of those? Simply browse any collection of comments for any website, and I'm sure you will find a healthy and articulate dialogue. Or you will find the opposite of that.
This post was originally going to be about the most recent bout of comments posted on the YouTube page for arguably the worst song of the 90s( "Name" by the Goo Goo Dolls), but
What's truly upsetting about this is that the above is just the tip of the iceberg. There's literally 112 other fools braying in terrible grammar about how "Name" was the song they lost their virginity to.
But this sinking ship of anger can actually be turned around (stop destroying, start building)!

FUN NEW GAME
Think of THE WORST SONG in the world. The more popular the better. Maybe "Name" jumps the shark a little bit but I'm sure we can all come up with more. Then, go to the YT page of that song and begin your LOL fest:

Poor salah62al making the perfectly rational observation "he looks alot like timberlake" and getting pounded into the ground.
