Why do people feel the need...

...to be so mean online? Why do people find it OK to call someone an asshole for something so little? What is the point of belittling people? I mean really what's with the tough guy name calling attitudes? I'm just curious cause last time I checked I act the same way online as I do off, I try and treat most people with respect....macho behind the keyboard is funny.

insecurities within themselves?

Couldn't tell you. I find it so strange that things we would never do or say in the real world are ok in our virtual lives.

I try to treat people with respect everywhere. Maybe its because I'm an old Raver!

because there's no consequence.

LOL....yeah exactly why act like a cyber douche if you don't in real life? Maybe cause there are consequences...like getting beat up or ignored.

People think they can get away with more because no one is gonna stand up to them. If they do they aint gonna find them.

....while the written word, when used with a bit of intelligence , common sense and courtesy, can be as mighty as the proverbial sword........Can also be used by who are 10 ft tall & bullet proof when behind the relative security of a keyboard. I say.....this world is rough enough. "We gotta carry each other......carry each other ......"A little bit of love is all i need, a little inspiration and a bag o weed....
