[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3278221, member: 43724"] Here's the thing. The internet is both a blessing and a curse. Depending on your typing speed and accuracy you can find anything on any subject with in a few seconds. I used the internet to research, but the parts and tools and find instructions on how to build my AR. Its by far my favorite firearm now. But the internet fosters and breeds the mob mentality, especially when people do not take the time to research topics before they turn into a youtube expert. Add in the animosity of being just an avatar and you get what society is turning into. Now that behavior is spilling into real life and people stop listening to understand but instead listen to argue. And though I disagree with a lot of what Ellen has to say on several subjects, I understand her point of view. My FB friends list is a variable mash up of political and social beliefs. Most of them I'm friends with in real life. Thats why I try (key word here) to be civil even when in a heated discussion. I know that many of the arguments I've been in within the cyberspace realm would not have taken place had I and the other person been face to face. [/QUOTE]
