Twitter is bad. It promotes dumbing down, misunderstanding, shallowness and aggression. And I'm not just talking about Trump.

Agreed, I used to have one years ago but I gave it up, too much hate and bull**** there.

I totally agree, sum1.

I agree with you about Skype, Tar, but the rest of the internet is a cesspool. Studies have shown that internet use make people feel more lonely and depressed.

I don't doubt that at all. It can be very isolating.

The internet promotes the kind of narrow-minded extreme politics that have become so popular these days. Just try to criticise an MCU movie on the net in certain places and you'll see how narrow-minded people have become, how intolerant of differing views. They rant about how they dislike "negativity", but really what they mean is they can't bear to hear any view that's at odds with their own.

a new hope

True. And there's no safe place. Some place are better than others but even here on FF if you say something and someone disagrees with it, it goes on forever with very little respect.

Don't I know it!

a new hope

It's why I try to remain friends with just a certain group of people and stick to just a few boards.

I agree with sum1 totally on this. And this is why I posted that video which I guess I'll post again later on.

a new hope

Forgot about that sorry

wickedrum

I think that's what most of us do

sum1

I guess.

wickedrum

sum1

That's okay. I'll post it again.
