Just got into? I'll have you know I'm OGT, way back from... well, '98-'99 I suppose. As much as I love the band, the term "tool" has other uses, check it out.

And as for this gem:

Not insult, well not deliberately or at least not that badly, the actual term here might be critique. I critiqued his beliefs. Why? To make them apparent to him so that he could change them upon reflection. A waste of time? The world only exists so much on its own, and the rest we create for it cognitively. Maybe the way people think about things changes the way they approach them and in this approach change the things themselves.
Was Gandhi or MLKjr wasting their time to try to change the minds of people? Just as an example, not a direct connection to this particular case I'm sure.
