the pathetic behavior of some GR members

[iMat]

Total misbehavior of people these days..
You guys,I really don't get it,people behind computers have certain social boundrys who are broken,they start acting like total bitches,arrogant pricks...Racists and stuff like that.The internet is such a cool medium to use,and we fuck it up.Our Generation has the internet,what do we do with it?We whine about the length of our penis,and our age is the only thing that mathers.I've seen mature guys aged 11 and i've seen unbelievable immature childess bitches with the age of 25.Hiding behind their Computer,no social life.I wish i could see some of you in real life,and let's see who's the big guy then?

    Well, that's the thing. When people know that there can be no repurcussions for their actions, the majority of them will abandon some or all of the mor?s that they would adhere to normally. Just like some people won't steal even when they know that there's no chance whatsoever of being caught, but most people would cheerfully take the item and be glad that they saved some money. The same distribution of behavior exists online.

    I always deal with my urge to punch online assholes in the face by reflecting that they are obviously either very short or very "short." Either way, they need to bolster their ego somehow, and picking on equally stupid people online is the easiest way to do that. So more power to them, I say, and let them hope that I never meet them in person. : )

well, hmmmmm... what to say? what to add? i think that loth has hit the nail on the head, except that  ithink that computers reveal the inner personality of everyone online. personally, i am very respectful online, but can be a complete asshole when i want to be. that is very different from my normal soft sopken self.

do you see that in others as well, or is that just me?

[Mr. Lothario]

    You say that as though his age has any bearing on this discussion whatsoever.

[iMat]

i believe you meant to say 'psycology and psychology though'

Mb this goes in this topic, but has anyone had the displesure of talking to [R] godfather lately? A while ago he told me to "stop crying about the wtc" that is a good example of a kid hidding from the troubles of his life behind his computer monitor. Oh well, its his problem i guess, i'll enjoy having friends.

weeeee i win

does all this mean iMat is another Grifter in the making?

[Grifter]

Actually Jeb... Godfather is alright.  But figure that as an American, you probably didn't want to hear a GR user from Palistine talking about the takeover of the west bank all the time.  

Godfather isn't an American... the WTC didn't have the affect on him that it had on people here.  So don't think he's hiding behind a computer screen... he really doesn't see the world in the same way as you.  And while his comment may have been insensative (I don't know the context... so I'm not judging)... he's also not the audience to keep talking to about the WTC.

So in this case, it's not just an ass hiding behind his computer... it's just someone that's tired of hearing something that he's not at all involved with.  (Those damn neutral fense sitters... hehe).

[Mr. Lothario]

i believe you meant to say 'psycology and psychology though'

    Psychology and philosophy, if I'm not mistaken. : )

[Brain]

ok, so i cant spell worth a shit either,nothing new

BAD SPELLUAHS OF TEH WURLD UNTIE!!!

[†FiRE Infection]

? ? Psychology and philosophy, if I'm not mistaken. : )

LOL

[iMat]

i agree,i know godfather for a long time,he was my co-clanleader twice OS an R,we might not be that good but hell we had fun?I know one thing,that GodFather is a skinhead with great admiration for Hitler.But i h8 the reaction of some of you guys.Loth u r right about the american vs euro thing,but i don't think there is such a big difference,he's just being ignorant about WTC and being indifferent,we should be interested and care for everything that happens,or out of the shadow comes another Hitler,and as long as he's not in our country why would we bother?
Keep your eyes open???

[Brain]

wasnt the same attitude the us had and lead to the appeasement policies ?right before the second world war?
didnt we then get our lax asses whipped back into reality by the japaneese?

isnt this what just happened right before 9.11 (terrorisim is not in our country, why should i care?)
didnt we get a cold slap in the face from the terrorists?

now you are proposing that ?we take the same attitude online? it doesn't take a nobel loreate to see the pattern here.
personally i hope that the rest of the us(or world, your choice) does not buy into this same line of thinking.
what's the old saying? once bitten, twice shy? ?we're already behind the curve people, and that's not a good place to be.

[Mr. Lothario]

It almost seems like there are a few posts missing from this thread. iMat's and Brain's most recent posts veer radically off on a tangent, and I'm not following where it's coming from.

[Grifter]

I'm as lost as you Loth...  The conversation took a turn there... but it seems like it skipped a bit.

Brain, if that was directed at my post, then you completely missed my point.  My point was that people that don't live in America don't see it the same way as we do... and not to judge them too harshly, because most Americans had that same attitude just a short while ago.  

[Psyks]

Wasn't this thread about they way people behave on gr and not about ww2 and how old iMat is?

[Brain]

my post was derived from the last line of imat's, grift
it should make more sense now that you know where i was comming from
