[quote:Anonymous Coward 1492692:MV8xNzU3MDMxXzI5MTQ0NTcyX0MxNDY1Mjgx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1492692:MV8xNzU3MDMxXzI5MTQ0NTE3X0U3NzYwMTg4] [quote:Anonymous Coward 5761840:MV8xNzU3MDMxXzI5MTQ0MzA4XzZBNUY1MUVB] [quote:arkay:MV8xNzU3MDMxXzI5MTQzMzkxXzVGOTY2QUJF] Folks, you are all doing great work here keeping this topic alive. As OP, (no egos here), I would like to thank you all for your contributions, all of which have been beneficial. More importantly, it is most notable and totally commendable that there has been a complete absence of abusive language or insult since this thread began and that has to be an absolute plus for which I salute you all. Clearly everyone that has either read or contributed here has a passion and genuine interest in something as important as this topic is. In the land of Aus it is now way past the time when I might wake up a monster tomorrow, so, well the hope of beauty sleep is a long gone fantasy, never the less I do have a need for sleep. So, with that thought I implore you all as the planet continues to spin , please add your thoughts and feelings. Just to prod some direction I would personally love to hear suggestions and comments that might be somewhat futureistic in nature that might stimulate further thought and comment on how we as an internet community might be able to move into fresh and new areas of ways that we might be able to bring about beneficial and peaceful change to the world we live in...I am certain that this time is now right on our collective doorsteps, all we need to do now is recognise it, throw the ideas into the mix and see where the the cream floats to the top. I am being totally selfish here but I dream of a new start, for a world of peace, equality and happiness and harmony for all, and I honestly believe the we can make that happen within a very short time from today. Please dream and think about those things too, it wont hurt anyone. I'll be back tomorrow, probably to a lot of black sites, but that will be good. Till then be safe, live well and find peace. [/quote] Thanks for the good words, but put down the crack pipe. The internet is no more capable of fixing social issues than fighting it out in the streets is. Not sure where this utopian result you envision is gonna come from. It's not the internet. If anything the internet allows some level of anonymity, which promotes and has increased hate speech, and general hostile interactions. You haven't noticed this? Being anonymous is the facilitator for massively aggressive and rude interactions, not social healing. [/quote] You know , I am really getting tired of that attitude in certain people , that is pure fatalism , you have thrown in the towel but many of us have not . Que sera sera is fucking bullshit , we have a voice and we will use it , we have brains and we will use them , we have wills and we will use them . Pity the same can't be said for others ! That attitude is the attitude of a docile sheep who has had too much fluoride , RISE UP !!! [/quote] Fixed . [/quote]
