It's worth it, from my perspective. You see, this thread got long enough to draw some attention. That means more people have seen the debate and may be able to make an appropriate decision concerning this matter. Sort of a devil's advocate to my own statement, you see? I am the kind of person who is more than willing to make myself look like a jackass if it will further the cause. I consider dignity to be an oppressive social tool, and throw it off readily if it might make a positive difference in something which outweighs it.
Many causes outweigh the dignity of any given individual. Once you realize you're not special, life becomes a lot clearer. They really need to stop telling kids they're all unique.
