Why are there so many fucktards on the internet?

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.

Anonymity. You can type whatever you want and get less consequences then in the real word.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, you have a very good point there. Maybe it's simply clashing personalities.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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.

There is a such thing as Passive people in the world. Which is why I know all people don't act the same way on the internet. Keep in mind that I said, most on my first post as well.

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.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
