narcimund 0 #1 July 5, 2006 There seems to be a recent upswing in unbridled hate in the forums. People are bleating imaginative descriptions of tortured murders they wish upon people they see on television. What's going on? Why this increase in armchair violence and choking rage? Is something new happening in the media to enrage the US public? Or is it local to dropzone.com? First Class Citizen Twice Over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rehmwa 2 #9 July 5, 2006 Well, isn't everyone impressed with impotent macho violent posturing? Especially on a (quasi)'anonymous' website? And then there's a complete lack of ability to separate vengeance from the concepts of "justice" (real) and "karma" (superstitious nonsense equivalent to believing that rain dancing and sacrificing virgins to the earth gods does anything at all) Of course, your post doesn't address the lack of respect in political debate here, nor the high extent of pointless *ZINGERS* and *veiled personal attacks* (TM), gratuitous America bashing - but one just gives up on that stuff after a while. It would be interesting to filter a 'survivor' thread of: zingers, PAa, VPAs, off topic Pres (BC and GWB only) pokes, and stupid impotent posturing and see if anything is left. I'm amazed that Bonfire can even operate without these basic ingredients ...
