I once said that children who steal can be rehabilitated or taught to be productive members of society.

Downvoted to oblivion while everyone else celebrated the death of 3 kids because "all thieves deserve to die".

I'm sorry that happened. People should be able to have a real discussion about issues without attacking common sense.

So in that case you would be the contrarian that this post is talking about. It's almost as though critical thinking is good. Reactionaries may be the most vocal and abundant people on some posts, but that doesn't mean they are right or willing to take a good look and discuss the topic at hand
