Lately, it seems that everyone has an opinion about everyone and everything. Unfortunately, the comments and opinions that are usually given about anything are generally negative. Now that there is the option on the Internet to comment on the articles posted, you immediately see a negative and in most cases, profane response to an article. You can constantly find the word hate used, usually describing an individual the poster doesn't personally know.
I just wonder how much our society has encouraged this behavior. If someone doesn't like a person, they immediately tell the person how much they hate them on the Internet, usually without provocation. I just think it is a shame that so many people not only have such a negative viewpoint, but also that they think it is okay to verbally attack someone. They use profanity whenever possible, and fall just short of threatening the person.
I just wonder--has our society encouraged this behavior? Have we become a society of " I'll trash you, you trash me"? The society that we live in is so unforgiving and mean that it is sad. For example, I went to the website of a reality show that I enjoy to read one of the character blogs. Beneath this person's blog I found the nastiest comments about this person and their appearance. There really was no reason for the cruel comments that I found. I think that the Internet makes it easier for people to bully and pick on others true or perceived faults. I just wonder what would happen if every person that wrote a nasty comment about someone received one in return. I wonder if it would make them think twice about what they say to someone and how they say it.
