The Internet…

Well some would like to say that the internet is one of the only places where you can share your unadulterated comments and feelings to the world. I find this is Mostly true. Two things come to mind with this topic.

Idiotic Ramble:

Now, even though a lot of you would peg this as such, I am merely referring to people who have nothing nothing to say so these people saying something that either make theme sound stupid or is just derogatory, boiling down to something like,” wow, i wish i had those five minutes back”. If you are still confused here is a real world example taken from, where else, Youtube.

Now on ‘Failblog’ video people often post, “Did he die?” as a joke because that what people always used to ask in videos where people got hurt. In this case someone said,”?eid ehs did”. Did she die backwards… A double negative, not only useless babble, but it is stupefied even more by making it backwards. Sadly, this is only where it begins. A response to this was, “Your so cool. you type like an ignorant fuck”. So this idiot had to take time out of his busy schedule (sarcasm) to insult another idiot with nothing to do. Any way, because of this Youtube and many other sites (along with TV, Radio, liturature) are enforcing censorship.

Censorship:

This has always been a sketchy topic mainly because people often say that we have the right to free speech. I’m not going to pretend i know everything about rights and laws and such but while it is true we have ‘free speech’, websites have to be thought of as private property. I do think that censorship is stupid because no child or any other person for that matter is going to be offended by hearing the words “shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker”, and last but not least, “tits”. Although, it gets better. As you may know, partnered videos on Youtube can’t have excessive swearing, but not there are 227 words that you can’t put in your comments. I’ve heard you’ll be able to uncensor comments featuring one of these 227 words, but it just shows how our culture is spiraling down to an over sensitive, fearful, mass, gray, blob.

Just sad.

Here is a video of all the words you cannot say on Youtube.
