A "snowball" is a term used to describe an affect of exponential increase, not a person. In this instance, I was referring to a people "chiming" in on negative things. Sorry for the misunderstanding; I was not being racist or intentionally offending.
Yeah it's really ridiculous how some people act. I've noticed racism is a real biggie for gamers. I think most people out there mean well, but it seems that sometimes this stuff can have a snowball effect...one person says something, then another. I say try to cut it off at the source so when somebody says something really ignorant, just be like "dude that's not cool"
Your local elections are what really matters, particularly for education. So much attention is placed on the presidential race as if it were the superbowl; one team vs another; red vs blue. Local judges are a good example of small-time, local officials with incredible power; there is no real accessible information source that gives voters info on these "lesser" officials (if there is, not many know about it). These judges make laws everyday based on their rulings that hold up in court at later dates. There are thousands of insanely corrupt munincipal and state officials slipping through the cracks while we put all of our focus on the presidential election. That is why there is a 2 party system so we can sit down, eat our cheeseburgers and root for our team while we completely miss what is really going on.
