I'd give you a merit for your post here, but unfortunately I don't have any smerits. It's not that I agree with everything you wrote, but at least you wrote your argument coherently, unlike many of the foreign fucktards who've posted in this thread recently. They can stay noobs until their activity reaches 10k+ for all I care, and in fact I hope they do.
Maybe someone with some merit to give will see this and see your post and merit it. If not, suck it up and move on. You people who are so concerned about ranking up make me want to puke. No one gives a shit whether you do or not, because you're only here for a paycheck. Very few people here respect that.

No need whatsoever to apologize for having high standards.
I agree with you that the post is well substantiated, and has decent arguments, but it has so many absolutes in it, seemingly reverse psychology and so much threatening that I cannot bring myself to merit it... and so far, I have dished out over 500 merits, so in the sending merits, I am not afraid to merit posts, and I don't even require a very high standard as long as I believe that there is some kind of meaningful contribution in the post or the poster.. but I have a hard time meriting posts when posters can't find some balance beyond seeming to whine for the sake of it, or their seemingly self-obsessed focus.
Edit:I believe that I attempted to explain that I don't think that my merit sending standards are high, and I suppose that my failure/refusal to merit that post demonstrates that sending merits could be whimsical and there is a decent amount of subjectivity in merit sending.. which such subjective discretion is not likely to go away any time soon... and even some luck of timing could make a difference in whether a post receives merit, too...
