[QUOTE="Truckdriver, post: 3335369, member: 45123"] Nope not at all. Just tired of the vitriol that abounds in SM regardless of political allegiance. People communicated just fine prior to the 1980's anyway. I've always had the belief that how nasty the netizens act on SM is how they are in their hearts and who they are "inside". The anonymity of the internet just allows the true "humanity" that's locked inside to be expressed. That really makes me sad when I see the hate and anger and violence and general nastiness posted on SM knowing that's how a lot of people really are "inside". To see people I know IRL to be nice and polite and conscientious citizens on the outside, turn nasty, violent and plain unpleasant behind the wall of anonymity is really bothersome. I TRY to live my life online as I live my life in the real world. Kindness, acceptance of who a person is without judgement, maybe a little bit of gentle snark... but nothing like i see others whose entire net existence is nastiness multiplied. Life without discipline and refusal to accept responsibility for one's self in ALL aspects ends in chaos and will mean the end of our Constitution if we're not careful. Self control is all i ask for But anyway, nope not a Bernie fan, not a Biden or any real fan of political figures in general.. [/QUOTE]
