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.

    Oh really? Tell that to our "fine republican leaders" & their totally unjustified wars they profit by (whilst they allow your livelyhood to be outsourced no less), a war they outright lied about, & that they have our brothers & fathers fight, as well as gov't sanctioned "hits with extreme prejudice", ok??

    Heh - You talk about incompetent shnooks, & assholes?? Go to the source, our leaders.

    I'm, for one, totally with ShieldWolf in this regard, as well as the statement he quoted.

    Want change? Especially vs. those that try to preach "be Barney the dinosaur" (yes, that is the right view & approach, & basically a take off on the teachings of Jesus Christ whom I fully accept as my savior in fact) but, they break those rules daily themselves, at your & my expense, if not lives??

    Wake up. Fight fire, with fire, & an eye for an eye.

    See, when in Rome? Do as the Romans do!

    (As it is truly the only language they speak & understand)

    It gets the point across to bullies, everytime (I've had to live it nearly my entire life in one of the most violence & murder ridden cities this nation has, & unfortunately, it is the ONLY thing that works, most of the time, in fighting back, instead of 'turning the other cheek' - you turn it too much, you end up with a scar or missing teeth)

    Either you stick up for yourself, or you get screwed even more (& so do those that depend on you).

    This nation was built on rebels who had balls, & courage - Not apathetic weaklings, period.

    You turn into an apathetic weakling, you get what you get, and are doing exactly what those in control, want (apathetic living in fear/living lives of quiet desparate slaves).

    However, on the converse?

    You use "don't tread on me" & you get the opposite: some respect & peace (unfortunate it has to be that way @ times though, but, it does work, & especially vs. those that do NOT follow the "live & let live" & "love thy neighbor" philosophy, but, instead want YOU to, whilst they break every rule in the book).

    The mods are getting really stupid on Slashdot... Bush and Cheney ARE war criminals. They DID launch an oil war which bankrupted the nation. Mod me down all you want, but Republicans ARE going to to lose.
