There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

Okay, I couldn't watch that whole thing. When he implied that self-worth is based on what car you drive, I had to end it.
That guy was a phony dick."Nice guy, I don't give a -blam!-... Good father? -blam!- YOU, go home and play with your kids!" That's the part I was reminded of. Is it really dishonest, is someone really being a phony, when they're the one contributing to society while another just sits down and complains about it?
You raise a good point, but it ultimately fails. No one who is untrue and puts on a mask can truly "contribute". Is a doctor contributing if he's a jerk to others? No, he's making the world a more negative place.
You look at children. They don't contribute in the regular sense, but they're innocent. They don't hate others. The world would be better if everyone was like that.Wrong. Have you ever seen House? Guy is an absolute dick, has even ruined some patient's relationships with their family in some episodes, but he saves lives. Saving lives is more important than him not pissing people off.
Children do indeed contribute to their parents and friends, just like everyone else contributes to their friends and family. That said, the reason everyone goes to school is so that they can become a functioning part of society rather than just a drain on it.
