    the only way for people to get along is to be polite and formal with each other, according to arbitrary standards. The problem with being polite all the time is that it does not encourage people to get to know each other beyond mere formality and in some ways makes us less human to each other

Hey, you, you jerk!

(In the interest of still contributing to the discussion I greatly enjoyed this feminist critique of the critiques. I also really liked thenewgreen's dramatic reading of "Blurred Lines;" if anyone hasn't seen it, go check it out on Soundcloud. The song is meant to be shocking. I'm sure Thicke has mostly enjoyed/benefited from all the uproar.)
