		<description>The Internet is full of idiots no matter where you live (I&#039;m living in Asia). In my country, teenagers today spend too much times on Facebook, Youtube, and some idiotic forums. They use bad spelling, bad grammar just like American teenagers, and their reason is exactly same: It costs less time to type!
Facebook is just a waste of time. After 1 month not using Facebook (because my ISP banned it), I find myself working more efficiently and having more times for learning useful things.

&quot;Well, we can not stand up against idiots because they are too numerous and agressive...&quot;</description>

		<description>I&#039;m done. The internet has become so juvenile, so insanely retarded, that I&#039;ve quit using it. Other then for work, of coarse. I find more smarter kids than on the internet at mentally handicap schools. I find more intelligent people than on the internet at the far ends of my local subway station. 

I would rather eat a large bowl of live centipedes than have to visit a teenaged girl&#039;s facebook page again, OR listen to some little brat yelling IT&#039;S OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!11111!!!. I would rather have unnecessary bowel surgery. I would rather lick the inside of John Goodman&#039;s underwear after he&#039;s been for a three-day hike without changing clothes.

I hate all you stupid kids and teenagers who waste your pitiful lives doing nothing but degenerate crap on the internet. You&#039;ve killed something that once had great purposes for humanity. You all suck.</description>

		<description>If only Marco would be right...

The internet used to be a decent place of intelligent people using it for higher purposes. Now, there is almost certainly a perversion lurking in the corner. Perhaps this relates to the increasing theft rates? There once was a time when one could leave one&#039;s door unlocked with low risk of theft. Nothing good lasts forever or even for a long time. See how robberies seem to increase as well. My wish is to restore and purify our resources-- starting with exiling the trolls.

P.S. Do not mention something possibly used as an advertising slogan. You should know how the adbots work.</description>

		<description>Thank you, Luis, for being the first person on this blog mention those hell hole sites known as 4Chan, Encyclopedia Dramatica. That is where most the obnoxiousness comes from on the internet.</description>

		<description>Hey &quot;random person&quot;, did you ever once consider the fact that these kids shouldn&#039;t be on the internet to begin with? Why don&#039;t YOU get a life first, and maybe a job and a brain while you&#039;re at it!</description>

		<description>I agree with Ray. Its the internet and shouldn&#039;t be taken that seriously. Some folks need to relax and stop analyzing every detail. I understand the point to this article and agree there should be set principles in life which should be followed. Purpose of language was to understand one another. If your understanding someone but obscessing about how there message is delivered perhaps you need help. The moment we stop not judging others we lose ourselves.</description>

		<description>Compared to a decade ago, the web has evolved into a cesspool of negativity and anonymous obnoxiousness. I&#039;m feeling that within another ten years, it will be over and deserted. The toplogy will be used for communications but the web as a social playpen/space will be over with. The buzz 1995-2005 was novel, fresh. In the same way that freedom to express alternative lifestyle was novel in the 1960s, in the same way citizens radio was fresh and novel for a while in the 1970s.

Listening to the news media on the radio today, it struck me that much of their kind are just Trolls! THe modern media approach to generating news, scandal, intrique, discontent is professional Trolling. How so many people behave now on the web, hiding behind bogus IDs is coming out of this negative conditioning.</description>

		<description>I agree with what you said here, the younger people are just idiots, they can&#039;t spell at all, use terrible grammar, and act what they call &quot;hyper&quot;, which is actually called acting CHILDISH.

Heck, I made something against a series of books which are probably meant for children or retards who like animal abuse, those books are called &quot;Warrior Cats&quot;, and a lot of the comments I got were young idiots going all &quot;HOW DARE U SAY THAT ABOUT WARRIORS!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!??!?!?!???&quot;, honestly, I laughed, not because they were funny, but I laughed at how pathetic they sounded.

Also, some of the &quot;most popular&quot; people on some sites, are nothing but guys who like to terrorise others, and ruin their reputation. Those idiots who love doing that are the ones lots call &quot;trolls&quot;, and honestly, they&#039;re the bottom of the human species in my opinion. There are also sites which only exist to insult, and ruin the reputation of just about EVERYTHING, two of those sites, which I really despise, are Encyclopedia Dramatica, and 4Chan. Those two sites are probably the scum of the Internet, people who deserve no respect go there, and laugh at the insults directed to others.

I think that&#039;s about everything I can say, smart, polite people are not respected at all anymore, and only idiots who love terrorising others&#039; lives are the ones that are respected and &quot;loved&quot;, it makes me sick.

And I think I can FINALLY say this: I have found someone who agrees with me!</description>

		<description>Since when are we all suppose to be professional writers? I&#039;ll admit I&#039;m an idiot when it comes to writing, and grammer. I like to get my point across quickly or the easiest I can at the time I&#039;m giving. However I am a computer technician and the stupidest people I&#039;ve seen with dealing with the internet and or computers are adults 30-up. I&#039;ve notice two types of generations of using the internet first type knows its crap, fake, and full of greedy ripoffs and idiots. The second type are the ones who didn&#039;t get involved with it till their later years. These are the people who give the internet too much credit and instead of putting themselves in any situation they assume everyone must be at their same level. Facts have been falsified for years in any major popular or national book, at least now a person will choose more than one source because of the internet&#039;s known fact of not being exactly true at one source. (think of the internet as entertainment) and thats it, using it as a tool isn&#039;t has easy as googling the question. 

I think the younger generations know this and aren&#039;t as dumb as they seem, and after all if your older than them you may have contributed to their ways of thinking now. It bothers me that adults blame the youth when its us that have made the bad decisions that led us to the world today and we also have a ton of infulence on the youth. Violent games were made by adults not young kids that play them, porn the same thing. Half*ss false statments websites usually generated the same way by adults wanting to make some kind of income through websites and advertisements.

Also I notice people like to make things harder than they really are, and when you speak the simple truth no one wants to listen. Everyone is to blame why the internet is what it is today from the smartest to the dumbest of mankind.</description>

		<description>Online, you can have  heated argument with a 10 year old child...and not know it.

Or drunks. Or, literally, crazy  people. Without the visual cues...we&#039;re all basically the same.
This was thought to be a great unifying, liberating thing. Maybe in some ways it is.

Reminds me of when I was in elementary school. Someone figured out how to use a plastic comb to switch of the lights in the bathroom and we&#039;d all go hogwild punching and slapping anyone around us. It was great fun, actually! 

But, not the type of thing one should get used to doing.

BTW&lt; I didn&#039;t read every comment. So....maybe that&#039;s the problem too?
People  don&#039;t take it as serious as a rl discussion. Which it has nothing in common with.</description>

		<description>All I can do now is simply sulk in the corner at why all this happened...
 
...until, of course I remember about the &quot;Great Society.&quot;
What happened here??? Marriage used to be beautiful. You would save out on the &#039;lower details&#039; and still enjoy a wonderful life with your spouse who is the perfect one for you. The singles rate is increasing, it seems, and so is the rate of childbirth anywhere outside marriage. I think the government is to blame for all this! Giving certain single mothers money is fine, that is what a widow lady is, but why not provide an incentive to marriage? It would stabilize the nation! Education is improved primarily by the familial conditions, and divorce really ruins the poor innocent children (unless, of course, someone started an &#039;extra business&#039;). I generally pride myself on serving only the greater of two goods or the lesser of two evils, but upon analysis, the Conservatives had it all correct all along. By encouraging people to live on their own minds and discouraging people from (or is it against?) entering perpetual helplessness, we can build a better, competent future. Perhaps, the analogy of a tooth extraction at a young age can explain this:

When you have a loose tooth close to falling out, it is a little bit of torture. You can still eat, generally, but you do not want the tooth to fall off.
When it is getting close to falling out, you begin to be more worried. You know food is good for you and so is brushing your teeth, but it is just too risky.
When it is practically out but not quite completely, you probably fear the taste of blood if you know what is good for you. After all, it means something is probably wrong. 
At this point, you can either:
Not risk pain or profuse bleeding and allow it to stay OR
Extract it and end the agony then and there
Now honestly, at such a young age, one would probably prefer the first option. I know I used to fear loose teeth for the torment and likewise with my friends. Of course, leaving the problem will not fix it at at all, but instead, you are sacrificing long-term relief for short-term calming. I know how it feels, and I guess I was a Liberal back then, as my ickle self. Of course, if you know what is really good for you, you will extract that tooth and in, at most, a few hours, likely stop bleeding and agonizing over the extraction. I think a little sting for a while should be fine, should it not? Our budget situation could be improved significantly by halting such parasitism. Of course, it would be a little cruel, but think of the cruelties our brood will face if we do not do something intelligent and wise now.</description>

		<description>The perspective I have always had on the subject of trendy internet tween-speak is that typing improperly is not necessarily a sign of a lack of intelligence, but it is absolutely a sign of common courtesy and respect for those who have to read it on top of an indication that you are not sucked into fads (which always garners my approbation). However, a comment that contains properly-spelled 4-syllable words is a pretty clear sign of intelligence, or at least an admirable grasp of the concept of expressing thoughts cogently through a written language. In short, would you rather show people that you are intelligent or make them have to give you the benefit of the doubt? 

Also, I am possibly equally frustrated with the sheer arrogance and obnoxiousness of kids these days, but I happen to think that the worst perpetrators of spreading anti-social ignorance and perma-adolescent stupidity on the internet are 20-somethings. The next time someone does actually post something you find to be astoundingly idiotic that isn&#039;t anonymous on a website that features some sort of profile information, check their age. It is almost certainly between 20 and 30. 25 seems to be the new 17, and that is what I believe to be the most disturbing trend in all of this.</description>

		<description>The proper grammar is not the problem. The real problem is the idea. A stupid comment IS a stupid comment regardless of grammar. The language is the media, not the message.</description>

		<description>I also agree with almost everything said here, I&#039;m 25 years old and I spent a lot of time dreading english class in high school. I find myself searching and searching for some form of intelligent life on my 14mbps connection (the only thing that has gotten better from the internet). All I find is crap crap crap! I&#039;m personally 12 beers deep after work (I can still use proper grammer, then if i can&#039;t spell it atleast I google the right spelling) and NOTHING on Facebook is even worth my time. Who cares if your boyfriend pooped himself or your A-hole hurts. OMFG (sorry to use text) next thing I&#039;m going to hear about is &quot;whats this lump on my?!?!! I also remember when the internet was worthwhile and things were actually entertaining and educational. What happened to the good ol&#039; days. The net is only good for directions and porn!</description>

		<description>At these buffoons&#039; ages (and actually, below their ages, back in 2002), I already figured out how to use taxpayer money in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;NCBI&lt;/a&gt; to satisfy my brain when the deplorable middle school assignments were sent out. Modeling proteins was fun at that time! Since most of it took place on graphing paper bought quietly from the student store (yes, I admit that I funded the whole monster), I would say that it was far more productive than modeling with the fancy new software. Of course, we who try to keep society from collapsing need not fear progress, but we should be cautious. Anyway, with the family model falling apart from the many &quot;side-business events,&quot; I would say that we have lost any concept of true society. They still do arranged marriages in the East but surprisingly to most of you, the families are extremely stable in general. What we do not understand is that love is an act, not an event or feeling. We choose to love out of our own will in the same manner we choose to hate. I do not despise those who cannot achieve as their problem is simply that they do not want to achieve. The average SAT score can prove just as much. After all, it consists of middle-school arithmetic and basic grammar concepts reiterated annually from the second or third grade. I would assume that comprehension would be everyone&#039;s [sic] Achilleus&#039; heel because of the self-imposed ADHD that seems to have spread. Still, I feel compassion those who even with free will and unlimited mind, choose to oppose intelligence for the sake of following an increasingly toxic society. Of course, in any society, there must always be a class of workers and drones. In a perfect society, everyone would be so adept that the position of drone would meet argument unless altruism was widespread. Unfortunately, we have a nascent class of unwitting but willing drones to do all the bottom work. It is a truly sad state of affairs that most students cannot even spell properly more than 40% of the time. What have we done to the human race with all of the concepts of &quot;progress,&quot; and &quot;equality?&quot; The only equality we achieve is the equality of a miserable outcome.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s true that many kids don&#039;t understand how to write properly or even keep their thoughts to themselves. But honestly, who raised the kids? Who taught them English? Don&#039;t pity the teachers for the kids not learning, or the parents for having such unruly kids. Children can&#039;t know how to be responsible until they are taught. Everyone always complains about &quot;kids these days,&quot; but where did these kids come from? Who taught them to be the way they are?
Take a look at yourselves and who got this world into the situation it&#039;s in before you judge others.</description>

		<description>Oh Hey &quot;Robert&quot;. The 14yo genius. At first I was annoyed that a 14yo child would call everyone who posted &quot;morons&quot; but then I realized &quot;Hey it&#039;s just a 14yo child&quot;. And the fact you are posting here imagining you are more enlightened that people many times your age is connected to the author&#039;s initial points. You felt some &quot;need&quot; to justify this idiotic behavior. Your explanation that &quot;we do it so we don&#039;t have to waste time&quot; is cute. Because we all know 14yos have such tight schedule they cannot be bothered to use vowels.

Thank god the internet didn&#039;t exist when I was 14 so that my ignorance and childishness wasn&#039;t preserved forever like yours is.</description>

		<description>When I see something written in idiotspeak I just skip it. If someone sends me a message or email like that I ignore it.  Just like people who send me mass addressed email forwards or other dumb shit they find online.  

It&#039;s not clever, it&#039;s not &quot;cool&quot;, it is stupid just like most trends that people partake in. Yeah it doesn&#039;t mean you are smart because you TRY to use proper language (I said try because we all make typos etc and then some jackass always jumps in and points that out as some &quot;evidence&quot; that we are somehow WRONG for trying to begin with) but it does make it easier for others to understand and makes you sound like less of a goon.  I have had much difficulty with some foreign languages because so many people use so much slang anymore. It really isn&#039;t that hard to speak clearly and properly.</description>

Yeah it doesn&#8217;t mean you are smart because you TRY to use proper language (I said try because we all make typos etc and then some jackass always jumps in and points that out as some &#8220;evidence&#8221; that we are somehow WRONG for trying to begin with) but it does make it easier for others to understand and makes you sound like less of a goon.  I have had much difficulty with some foreign languages because so many people use so much slang anymore. It really isn&#8217;t that hard to speak clearly and properly.</p>
