Pie vs. Cake

With a topic such as this, your mind most certainly acted such as I pleased. And thus, I am able to prove two points about the aspect of the human mind.
The first of this is the fact that humans seem to “thrive” off of controversy. This is evident within most aspects of live, but to make it more simple to understand, I will narrow it down to the Spudfiles forum. Any experienced member will certainly realize the number of PVC vs. ABS threads out on the forum. This type is a direct controversy, which wishes the reader to answer a black and white question. Another type is the recent “who wants grapes” thread, which does not ask for the reader’s opinion on the matter, but instead looks at the reader’s reaction (no offence to PVC Arsenal 17) The third type of controversy seen on this site is the “unintentional” type. This is clearly seen by the “Chimps incident” that occurred on the ”Air Delay Mine” thread. Chimp’s attitude did not ask for an answer, and whether or not he wanted reaction we are not sure, but it did make people talk about his behavior until the problem was “settled”. In fact, the thread that I post now is also controversial, for I (almost unintentionally) am asking for people to state their opinions on such a matter.
The other aspect of the human mind that is raised by the title of this topic is the notion of pride. By giving the reader a choice or opinion, he/she naturally wants to state why one is better than the other, or why everyone else is wrong. This may be because humans naturally want attention, to become leaders, or simply because they want to help other people so they fit in.
I hope that this has taught you something, or at the very least think, thank you.
