Very cool. I tended to agree with Rob almost mechanically (society programs their "values" and views onto our brains from childhood), but Uriel reveals some interesting concepts that are being threatened here: censorship to maintain conformity. It is only through such revelations that I can proceed to rid myself of the preprogrammed behaviors sanctioned by society and discover my true self. To actively think about open-ended questions in pursuit of truth, instead of passively regurgitating society's preprogrammed answers, is an act I hold in the highest of regard. Thanks Uriel! -- Hardware: The parts of a computer system that can be kicked.
