I came home from school and checked up on a bunch of forums that I usually check when I get home. My mom was in the living room watching Dr. Phil at an annoyingly loud volume.

I walk in to tell her to lower it and the subject they where talking about was "Cyber bullies" or people who ridicule people from across the internet.

One person said something that a democrat posted on a forum a republican found offensive.

Another guy was playing Madden on Xbox LIVE, and his opponent said something about killing his family.


So of course, I had to let out my two cents about this. I think that these people complaining about the problems need to grow up or stop engaging in these activities.

I mean, really.. people are insulted over the internet on an hourly basis. These people who are complaining are just going to ruin it all for everyone.

Oh big deal.. the big bad internet man said he is going to find me and kill me and my family over Xbox LIVE. Obviously that is not going to happen... I mean unless the person knows who you are and lives within walking distance of you... but if these people keep submitting complaints about the idiots who cause the problems, eventually some action is going to be taken and will most likely hinder everyone else.

Maybe Xbox LIVE will stop supporting speech? Or at least voice communication. Go the way Nintendo goes with not allowing you to speak directly to people online without their friend codes (if at all). Now wouldn't that just suck?

Forums might gain some overall new nation wide law or something. I don't know, I'm not a lawyer and don't make these things up. But all I can say is that if something is to be done, it will not be beneficial to anyone except maybe the person who originally complained in the first place (or group of such people).

Bottom line: If you can't handle internet harassment, than don't use the internet. Anyone agree?

Yeah, I get insulted in real life, so it's not different. Just ignore it (actually, it used to be worse in real life)

I agree with "If you can't handle internet harassment, than don't use the internet."


Renguard is a wonderful initiative

Fuck you, Nickelback happen to make some good stuff.


Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

That brings up a great video that I saw(Funny too) that would teach people the difference between internet and real life.

I'll see if I can upload it somewhere then link it.

I really couldn't care less what you think of them. Just because you think nickelback sux doesn't mean I do.

Perhaps you should. I would suggest listening to bands that are actually talented. Hell, if it must be a mainstream band, I would suggest Velvet Revolver.


whoa.
