The wild, wild internet

Well, I've been gone for some time now, but finally I'm back with a whole new rant. This time on what goes on in the world of the nerd and fatass: the internet

The internet has often been called a new frontier, unexplored and lawless. I agree with this fully: the kind of things you find on the net can easily be something that you have never imagined, or something that you would block from your mind if you ever did imagine it. There is also little law on the web: sure, every so often you hear about some disgusting scumbag getting caught putting kiddie porn on the web and spending the next few years of his life as a prison bride, but it is still virtually impossible to control the people that populate the internet. On this net you have perverts, murderers, psychos with bizarre beliefs, and people that rant on about stuff you don't care about, and there is no way to track them all down. The internet is not traceable, it is easily accessible, and it's growing.

Think about the kind of people that use the internet to their advantage, folks. Some are like me: they just want to state their opinions. Others are good people who want to educate, and some are entrepreneurs who are trying to make a profit. Then you have con artists and nut jobs, who use the internet to get money illegally or for other, far more horrible purposes. But then there's a third class of evil people on the net: people who spread propaganda. Muslims go on Youtube and MySpace to show off recently-beheaded American soldiers, while communists lie about capitalism and the Russians...well basically they go out and do the typical Russian thing by showing off their low-quality military. In one way, these people make me sick, and I do my best to fight them. In another way, however, they show that the world is a free place where anyone can say anything, advertising their beliefs. So the internet is a horrible place in some ways and in another way it is a wondrous place that tells you that no matter what country you're in, as long as you have a computer and a wireless internet, you still have the right of free speech. Think about it, folks.
