Such is Hive that you can get the most votes of the day, but no comments :) People blindly follow Curie.

I get what you say about creative people not doing their own thing. In music it's a bit different as a lot of people play covers, but you can still put your own identity on them. I eventually started writing songs and I'm proud of some of them, but inspiration has dried up lately.

There's been a few instances lately in the UK where people have complained about a comedian being offensive. One even got the police involved, but they decided there was no real case. With some comics you know they are going to be offensive and you either accept that or not. It could be that online culture has changed attitudes. Opinions can get spread so quickly now and people like to get attention. That's a pretty recent thing and we're all still adjusting to it.

The world will keep on changing and that change may accelerate. We just have to adapt as we have no influence on changing that, but we can still stick to our principles and have an opinion.
