Hey we agree on something! Yes, tones and conversations can easily be misunderstood on the internet. ;)
As for you being 17 (now don't take this the wrong way)...I think you are too young and inexperienced for this conversation and debate. Don't get me wrong - I'm not putting you down because of your age, but because when I was your age I was exactly the same way...as I got older though I realized quite quickly that everything is not as it seems and the idealistic view that the government and authorities work so hard to portray doesn't exist.
So keep doing your research, but keep in mind that if you are honestly researching, you won't form your opinions before the analysis is finished.
My debating here is finished. Blessings twiaf3! ;)
