Long story short, I have learned posting on SDN unfortunately is not a good place to have a healthy conversation.
I have to say I completely disagree with this. On multiple occasions, I have posted that my family owns pet stores that sell animals. There are plenty of people here that do not appreciate what my family does (and has been doing for 100 years). I totally understand why. In the time I have been posting here, I have only had one negative experience with someone being rude to me about it. All the other people who have messaged me or replied to threads and asked there have been pretty understanding and open to hearing about the experiences I have. That's a lot better than how I get treated elsewhere in regards to the subject. Pretty healthy conversations, actually.
In short, if the people here are nice to people who own pet stores, they are pretty nice people in my book. There aren't many times when the comments get out of hand. This thread is a good example of people expressing their opinions and their experiences, just like you did. That's the entire point, right? Thing is, when you post stuff like this, the burden of proof falls on you to prove your point. That's why everyone is asking for proof. Anecdotal evidence is not evidence, as we have all learned in our various science courses. We need statistics, figures, and data. Show us the number of people who drop out or regret their choices in the form of survey data, or really anything. But saying that everyone with low hours are going to be at a disadvantage is not true.
