Hatemongering Becoming A Problem On Orkut
jaquesparrow writes "Orkut is a well known beta experiment, an invite only environment based on social networks. Recently it has been reported that hate and racism is proliferating on Orkut. Besides the story in the Wilmington Star, the International Herald Tribune also has commentary on the situation." From the article: "For Google, the trouble on Orkut - which is still in beta, or test, form - could easily escalate. A prosecutor in Brazil, where the service is especially popular, has already initiated an investigation into some of the more virulent Orkut sites."
no one takes the time to stop and smell the Orkuts?

hmmm. lets see now...
...you are going to go up to a large group of angry bigots protesting about something [lack of manufacturing jobs/muslim terrorists/women bosses] and you *expect* them to back you up on your rights to tell them that they are dumbasses?
1. I admire your conviction
2. I agree with you totally
3. I hope you have medical insurance.

I think they were jelious coz you were doing damn well in school with your most excellent spelling skillz.
Orkut is still around? I mean I guess I still have an account on there, but it's been quite a while since I logged on - mostly becuase the people I knew on orkut were the same I knew from friendster.com who were the same from friendzy.com who were the same from tribe.net...

If you were so "good at school", why exactly is that you misspell:
- everyones (everyone's)
- racistism (racism)
- lifes (lives)
- Its (it's)
- ware (wear)
- i (I)
- jelious (jealous)
- them selfs (themselves)
- Im (I'm)
- hatrid (hatred)
- wont (won't)
(and I did not consider the typos).Did you go to Yale and sit next to Dubya? Or are you simply trolling|karmawhoring?
