[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 380616, member: 483"] I see it differently. I think a lot of what is wrong with this world, and subsequently its internet, is that people have stopped following these two basic principals: 1. Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself. 2. If you have nothing positive to say, say nothing at all. I would not pretend to be innocent of violating these rules in the past nor do I think I will not inadvertently violate them in the future. (As I get older I do get better at following them though.) But today the general rule, especially on the internet, seems to be IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING NEGATIVE TO SAY ALWAYS SAY IT and I think that is not only detrimental to those the comments are directed at but also to those making the comments as they erode at their overall moral base. [i] I get away with berating people constantly on the internet, so why can't I do it every once in a while in real life? I get away with it once in a while in real life, so why not more often? I often get away with berating people in real life, so why not all the time? [/i][ Then you get people calling 911 because the guy at BK forgot to put pickles on their burger. Its great if you're a super hardass whose feelings can't be hurt. But like you said, who really cares if you don't care? Why do people feel the need to publicly demonstrate the impermeability of their emotional state on the internet constantly? Isn't saying nothing the true proof that you do not care? Saying something at all is just an admission that you cared enough to say something and that your emotional state has already been affected. [/QUOTE]
