Truthfully, I think that the internet has contributed to some minor forms of societal degredation. Politeness, for example, is in decline. With the anonymity of internet, one is able to act in a way that they would not act if face-to-face with a person. I think that the SH5 forum will be a perfect example of that. It is very quiet now, but once the game is released, the rabid crowd of axe grinders will appear in force, acting in a manner most unbefitting to real-life society. It is inevitable that such behavior would eventually extend itself to real life.

This article is BS!

It only highlights one side of the story,what about people who enrich their knowledge and use internet as a knowledge base?

In all the 12 years i have internet i never saw so many naked woman(thanks!!!!) as i did in the 28 years before i had internet

But i guess he has a point,some people lose themselves on the net,get stuck into it and say the most terrible things to other people just because they think they are anonimous...untill the police knocks on the door and they start crying about freedom.

I guess internet is a reflection of society,and people only want to see the bad side so they can uplift themselves from it,pathetic...

Actually I'm not sure if they get specific breaks for the internet, might be that they just have their laptops there and that they are allowed to use them when there isn't service.

Most of them are pretty fat anyway, they can't even run in the basic training period. They make them do . Looks really lame.

edit. What happens when that fatty get injured? Who's gonna carry him? Fug dat sheet, not me.

I had a good laugh the other day when I saw a short skit about some kid going threw internet addiction therapy.

What else can they make money on in a usless way?
