Maybe there's a reason North Koreans have no access to the web after all. I came to the conclusion that the internet is full of nonsense that is unneeded in our lives. I believe the internet only has 20% of right info. The rest consists of things like porn, facebook, propaganda, more porn, more nonsense, etc. The internet is more like a shopping mall if you ask me.

The internet isn't evil, people are dumb. I sometimes would like to see the entire net crash. There is something seriously fucked up about people born in the 90's, I think the net has a lot to do with it.

Oh, and there is a reason N. Korea dosn't have the net, they live under a totalitarian dictatorship that controls every aspect of their lives. If they had access to another source of information, they might start to get "dangerous" ideas and realize that their gov. is full of sh*t.

If the net crashed, so would the economy.

Of course it's evil, it's making young males have zinc deficiency all around the world, and fathers knowing their daughters boobs pics are somewhere in there haunts them to their grave. :D

google is evil. giving everyone a bunch of knowledge to regurgitate in an attempt to appear intelligent. and the 90s are not fuct, it goes back farther then the 90s lol, it was actually the 40s when sh*t started getting fuct up. but it was still fuct up before then, just in a different way, but the 40s brought about this sense of entitlement and took away the appreciation of the fact we are alive.

Phil, people are fucked up, and have been for a long time. But, those little bastards from the 90's are the rabbit turd on top of a sh*t sundae. They are the most self-entitled non-contributing #$%^&s I have ever met, the 80's kids were not much better and the millenium brats will prob. be worse.

Oh well I guess I am a misanthrop, but I do actually like some people individually, it's as a group that people suck.

P.S. I like you sig. but you forgot "hell, hell is for children"

gonna have to agree for the most part. nice line too, in my opinion we havnt had any real "men" since around the 40s, with a few exceptions, but for the most part we are left with nothing but children, which is the problem lol. Everyone is reliant upon everything and everyone else and we all think we deserve it and thats the way it should be. People seem to forget how hard life actually is.

In your face
If you take it for what it is, entertainment, it's not really that bad. Now if you want to take it seriously, well then you're nuts!

I take the net for a huge filing cabinet full of info free for the taking. Like life in general some is good and some is bad.

My parents were Eastern European immigrants whose roots were rural and poor. My mother was telling me a story about when she was a child, a villager took a trek to the city and came back with windows. He installed them on his house. The other villagers thought it was evil and from the devil, and burned his house to the ground.

Humans are creatures of habit and resistant to change, especially as you get older. Something innovative and new is often pointed to as the cause of each generation's faults. Yes, there is trash on the internet, but there is trash on TV. There is trash in printed media. There is trash coming out of your neighbor's mouth.

For me, the Internet has made my life so much better:

1) Being in IT, I can download device drivers in a snap instead of looking through mounds of CDs to try to find the right one.
2) Forgot how to use something? Find a user manual online in minutes.
3) I can pay bills in 10 minutes a month.
4) I can buy or sell stocks in seconds, for dirt cheap commission, while I work.
5) I can communicate and share ideas with people around the world through sites like this.
6) Forgot the name of an actor in a movie? Find the answer in seconds.
7) When taking a road trip, I can easily plan the most cost efficient and scenic routes. When making a hotel arrangement, I can get on "Street view" to check out the surrounding area.
8) When I'm bored, I can find area events in a snap.
9) A person can take online courses and educate themselves when they don't have the funds or transportation to commute to a regular college.

I could go on and on of course. The bottom line is people are stupid because they are lazy and allowed themselves to be stupid. There is unlimited wealth of information and capability available, but still only so many hours in a day. We just have to learn to budget our time for things that matter.

nope, didnt. My first thought says its gotta be because were getting more out of less, kind of like how engine size has decreased, yet power and effiecancy has increased, but then again man had to have been much more intelligent before then he was now. With the resources we have available to us now, our weakest minds should be on par with some of the greatest minds in history. Could you imagine what someone like Aristotle would do with the internet as a resource? Or even Einstein? or any great mind in history for that matter.

Internet is like a society.
You can find good stuff and people around the Internet but there are many malicious guys and sites.
Thus any surfer must be careful especially in social pages such as Facebook & Twitter.

The internet taught me more valuable knowledge than any bullshit book ever did in school, that's for sure. I thank God for the internet, because sometimes I feel like I'd never get close to the truth of sh*t without it, and I sure as hell aint gonna get any truth from fucking CNN, the radio or a damn newspaper. The internet gave a voice to the voiceless.

People are dissing the 80's and 90's... That's when i was born :(

I find it funny that people are complaining about the web... ON the web.
Without the web, no one here would know about PE.

The web is what you make of it. There's lots of porn. But there's a lot of information. You will find whatever you go looking for... Just like in real life.
The web does provide anonymity for people to speak up about an embarrassing problem. A person might go on the web and say how much it sucks to have an average ding dong and then hear their gf talk about this massive guy she was with in the past.

It also allows you to connect with the world in no other way. Charities and social events are posted and everyone can learn about it.

Not true. I don't know if you're old enough to rember, but there were these things called books, they came before the internet but after stone tablets.
