Anonymous Anger Rampant On the Web
the4thdimension writes "In a story that may bring out the 'duh' in you, CNN has a story about how anonymous anger is rampant on the Internet. Citing various reasons, it attempts to explain why sites like MyBiggestComplaint and Just Rage exist and why anger via the web seems to be everywhere. Various reasons include: anonymity, lack of rules, and lack of immediate consequences. Whatever the reason, they describe that online anger has resulted in real-life violence and suggest methods for parents and teens to cope with e-aggression and to learn to be aware of it." I can't figure out what makes me angrier: my habit of anonymously trolling web forums, or my video game playing.
Most people in America are angrier than usual due to the worsening economic conditions caused by Bush's oil war which bankrupted the nation. That's what's really being reflected on the web. Bush and Cheney are basically war criminials. I'm hoping people take it their rage at the voting booths.

What are laws backed up by? Violence, pain, or the threat thereof, period... financial pain, physical pain (or even death), & more. Who the hell are you fooling? Not myself. Clue: We're only, what?? 100 generations outta the jungle???
Trust me, look @ the way things are, including the structure of our laws + what they're backed up by: My point, as you see it mind you, is only showing thru even moreso.

"As someone related to founding 'fathers', I'll tell you that they shook the British Monarchy out of a sense of fairness, not violence. They wrote a set of documents that gave the citizenry a method to hold each other in checks and balances, rather than armed borders at each state line" - by postbigbang (761081) on Monday November 03, @02:25PM (#25615877)
Question: HOW MUCH OF THOSE FOUNDING FATHERS RULES HAVE BEEN OR ARE BEING CIRCUMVENTED BY MR. BUSHBY'S CHANGES VIA HIS EXPANDED EXECUTIVE POWERS LATELY?

Sure, sure: Your utter line of bullshit betrays your crony-ism, you obseqious little republican - "bow to your masters", hoping for scraps from their table, right??
Buddy, face it - you do NOT possess the intellect or information required to even BEGIN to debate with me, because all the results lately (on all fronts, including financial & wars-wise) back me up, totally... cliche but, "argue with the numbers/facts"... good luck!

Oh and you might like to know that I am fucking your mom while I type this. Bitch better make me a sammich after she drains herself out or their will be trouble.
You're banned fucktard!
Seriously though, I think a good portion of bans in forums and chatrooms and whatnot are due to fits of rage by staff.
I know from experience.
Well, I believe that the majority of right-thinking people in this country are sick and tired with being told that the majority of right-thinking people are sick and tired with being told that they are sick and tired.
I certainly am not, and I'm sick and tired of being told that I am.
