You ask for thoughts so here's mine: Anyone can make a controversial, opinion-based statement. Anyone. There's nothing interesting about your particular statement in that regard. It could have been interesting if you'd taken the time to explain your opinion. But you didn't, and thus all I read is a one sentence opinion. Why should I take the time to offer my own explanation of my opinion when you couldn't be bothered to do the same?
