Online comments, unlike life, are not like a box of chocolates. You always know what you're going to get inside and it's a pile of junk masquerading as a forum of intelligent thought.
You may say I'm writing about online comments at Fox's Web site because I lean left and am feeling lazy today. You'd be correct. Let's listen in anyways:
ALL CONGRESS AND SENATORS AND THE PRESIDENT SHOULD BE IMPEACHED.
Yeah, that's just an excerpt from Greta's grab bag of blog. I would say it's funny how anonymity brings out the stupid in people, but that's pretty obvious. Being anonymous is a pathetic mask for those who can dish it out but can't take it. They are the powerless, and yelling in an empty room makes them feel better.
But don't be fooled - anonymity alone doesn't make one silly. Just posting something online decreases your intelligence. Sad but true, we are collectively becoming dumber merely by using the Internet.
