If you can't make your point in 50 words or less then you need to rethink it!

Less is more people.

Ocham!

but my point involves the melodramatic and simplistic views society has on itself. it basically falls back to a basic conversation on the inequalities of life, and the premeditated actions against ones fellow man. the inadiqucies of simple humans, and their inability to rationalize actions against other individuals further complicates

Not neccessarily. Some well thought out views require some verbage to be explained in a manner that those who do not have expertise in the subject, can hope to get some grasp of what the author is trying to convey (e.g., even baking a cake contains nuances that the could be easily overlooked by the inexperinced), as has been shown in the very wordy explanations common in the artistic and pilisophical sciences which tend to deal in the abstract or hypothetical plane. Sentence count is more important.

Imho (of course)

In high school, we had to read "Pride and Prejudice." That book is one sentence.
