Why are there so many fucktards on the internet?
Seriously! It's like a breeding ground for retards. One would think that there would be an relative balance that would reflect real life, but no! I'm getting quite frustrated at the number of idiotic, un-intelligent, or just plain fucking stupid things I am seeing these days. Want an example? Go to any video on youtube. Scroll down and read the comments posted under the video. The things people say makes me wonder if they have an IQ greater than a bowl of lukewarm porridge.

Sorry :( Many people do it intentionally to piss others off.
I'm still in awe at those people who don't realize how their stupidity floods the internet like no one's business. |

I don't care if some people are 'stupid', or whatever. What's really a shame is that many people on the internet become assholes that think they are better than everyone and complain about everything. I'm guilty of it myself, and it's really sad to see that internet does that to people.

This isn't unique to the internet, its commonplace in the real world. Just go to a mall or some other establishment where people gather and you'll see the IQ of everyone just drop tremendously. I think it has to do with something when you have a lot of people together. People are intelligent by themselves, though extremely stupid in masses.
|
That's an interesting idea. I've always thought that introverted people should be more introspective and intelligent, however, in practice, it's often not really so. However there is definitely at least some truth to that theory.
|
And then there's the people who bitch about the stupid people on the internet when they know they can't do shit about it.
|
Then you get the people who state the obvious.
Sup Zeph. ;) |
Actually I feel that there's a lot of fucktards in the real world, and the internet certainly represents a lot of people in their truest form. Anonymity = no restraints, so everyone can be as fucktard as they want.
I'm not sure I believe that people get dumber in groups. I guess it depends on the size of the group. |
Hmmm... I'm afraid I can't agree. Maybe it has to do with the people I see day to day or where I live, but in real life people seem to be much smarter.

Part of your statement is correct. You have to consider that it's not really considered 'fun' to be smart in the first place. And since America is the Entertainment capital of the world...most people come on the internet for 'fun'.
The internet can release everything about yourself because you don't have the consequences of society on your back. (Except some random people on the internet getting mad at you and judging you. Oh Noes. They will hurt me, virtually! ;_; ) People will happily resort to barbarianism on the internet. It's where some people can be as mean and obnoxious as they want. Yes, in real life, some people appear to be smarter and more stable....but get them on a place like the internet and they can seem like an obnoxious brat and/or like Satan himself. |
I don't know what paradise y'all are living in, but where I am, there are idiots abound on and offline. Then again, I suppose college campuses are magnets for stupidity. It's like the internet personified.
And I certainly don't understand why people think the sort of veil the internet casts over you gives you free reign to release your bad side, or in the least, their cocky "I'm the best" side, which I think is bad enough. Ah, well . . . |

People will easily say 'shut the fuck up' to someone on the net but most won't be so quick to say that to a real person. Especially if that person is right there and could potentially harm them in some way. |
Even so, I don't find that incentive enough to dispense with manners entirely. And even in the internet there are consequences, they can't be immediately reciprocated, but people can get pretty worked up. Where else does the drama come from online?
|
Well, you have a very good point there. Maybe it's simply clashing personalities.
|
If I was capable of uninventing the internet, I would seriously consider doing it.
Progress should not be this annoying. |

If they attack, I defend. If it just so happens that I get my ass kicked, oh well. At least you'll live to fight another fight and you don't have to live under the knowledge that you're too much of a pussy to voice your opinion about anything because, you know, you're afraid to get your ass kicked. |

Certainly a lot of things like shopping or paying bills can be done on the internet, and depending on your job you might have a great deal of customer interaction or none at all. Why don't you uninvent the real world; we can all just download our consciousnesses onto the internet~ Disclaimer: there is no plausibility in the above statement |

Parents shouldn't let their young kids surf on Internet. They'll grow with stupidity all around them. (And pr0n) |

Well, I guess there's also the question of whether YouTube comments truly reflect "the internet".

And when I said harm, I meant, in any way. Not just with fists. Tell your boss to 'shut the fuck up' and see what happens. |
