observation about behavior

[Super Sonic]

It's not much different from the old ASPD days. The handles may change but the rants remain the same.

I like the creativity of all the avatars lately!

This is the one I'm always curious about. If someone did say it someone's face nothing would happen. What would, or could they do? Go into beast mode? Really? Let's see, arrest, jail time, police record, court, fines, lawsuit ....

Yeah, I see that all the time. It's like road rage, you get flipped off, you flip back or ignore it. I've never seen a demolition derby take place.

Y'all don't have road rage shootings in Dallas? Is that a Houston thing?

This happens towards the end of all great civilizations, empires and ho/john boards. Just as one can not fix stupid, one can not stop the power of the second law of thermodynamics, which states everything goes from a more complex state of being to a less complex state of being, or to put it in common verbiage; everything, the earth, its inhabitants, societies, et al are unraveling, unwinding and or devolving into chaos.

Welcome to the jungle folks.

The law of entropy is a real bitch, bob is correct.

I don't mean to say it would evolve into physical violence. I mean most people are more uncomfortable with conflict (non-physical) in person than on the web. They are quick to critize or bash on the web but would not do so in person. Even road rage has an element of anonymous.

I think you are correct...I do not come on here often but when I do its mostly about drama and disrespect. I hope one day it will change...Can we all just enjoy this wonderful hobby together???

It's no different here than anywhere else. Quite often, we've all seen the *customer* throwing a tantrum on the *employee* who is trying to do their job. How people act or treat others reflects their personality and their personal sense of entitlement.

Every generation has complained about society getting worse. Personally, I think we've gained some ground on being more tolerant.....duck dynasty dude an exception of course.

How will we ever get a local "Housewives" show if people aren't catty?
