I was listening to a song on youtube and was reading the comments below at the same time and came across this comment:
"There are 64 people who have the mental age of a monkey and that is an insult to monkeys."
The song has a few million hits and 64 people didn't like the song hence the comment. LMHO!
I am quoting my own quote for a change (ahem) but I have something very important to say based on this observation.
Now I have read many comments on youtube and I noticed a very significant difference between the past and the present generations. The past generation, even when they don't like something, are very respectful in their comments; whereas the present generation can't seem to put together one decent sentence without using the word '
****' and 'mug' a few times.
I mean I grew up without swearing both at home and at school, and of course at social circles and perhaps these kids behave when they are in social gathering because they have to but golly, on the internet, they completely unleash their negative sides thinking it's 'so cool' to do that. What are they teaching in school or even at home I wonder, because it's very clear to me that a lot of the kids seem to be playing the jekyll and hyde character quite often - more than one would like. It's quite alarming in my opinion.
Thank God I don't have kids. I wouldn't have wanted them to grow up in this very shallow, superficial and nasty environment. We focus so much on terrorism, bombing, poverty, abused women etc. and yet something much bigger and alarming is flying very comfortably under the radar. It's not just the word '
****' but the way they convey their entire messages. It's downright creepy and very, very disturbing. You can tell their mental state is not at all where it should be. My biggest worry, who and what will these kids become when they finally grow up.
