Does the Internet Make Humanity Smarter Or Dumber?
Nemilar writes "The Wall Street Journal is running a pair of articles asking whether the Internet is making humanity smarter or dumber. The argument for smarter is that the Internet is simply a change in the rules of publishing, and that the bad material is thrown away; the second story critiques the 'information overload' aspect of the Internet, claiming that we have traded depth of knowledge for velocity and span. What do you think? Does the Internet make you stupid?"
No, it's quite evil, it makes it harder for God fearing Americans to pretend that the world is only 5,000 years old, that Jesus was aryan and that tax cuts to the rich have benefits to the poor.
And you're a coward.
Countering your bullshit and lies would take far more time than I have right now.
Your claims regarding Arab vs non-Arab Israelis are simply false, for a start.
As for the "Israeli Settler", I refer you to the hatred the ARAB WORLD has for the Palestinians - it was the ARAB forces who stole the "palestinian" territories in 1948 and stuffed them into refugee camps, for starters. Take a look at a map sometime: every iota of what is claimed to be the "west bank" or "gaza" today, was controlled by Egypt, Iraq, Transjordan, or Syria after the 1948 war. And yet, instead of FOLLOWING INTERNATIONAL LAW and making the Arab inhabitants citizens, they instead put forward the lie of "occupied Palestine" which needed to be "liberated."
What they really meant was the Hamas motto, "drive the jews into the sea in a river of blood." However, the lie of "liberating occupied palestine" plays better to cameras and to clueless idiots who lack the brain cells necessary to so much as read a map.
I'm not going to say the Palestinians haven't been abused. But if you want to see who has been doing the abusing, the first place you need to look is THEIR FELLOW ARABS.
Another point: who was the first to put up a fence on Gaza? Subtle hint, it wasn't Israel. I'll let you do the research yourself...
Actually, I do think the Internet makes some people dumber: they can write such grammatically atrocious sentences as yours, and be totally inarticulate, and still get a pass, while those who point this out (like me) get flamed for doing so. Therefore, dumbness is rewarded.
No.. People have always laughed at self righteous twats.
It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his job depends on not understanding it.
