Something that I had to get out of my system.

A response to *TomPreston's latest comic strip "Welcome to the Internet"


I don't want to offend or scorn the guy, I just want express a slightly different point of view.


I was kinda baffled by Tom's latest comic. How can you force an opinion onto someone over the web? You don't like one crowd of people, fine you are just two clicks away from another community centred around totally different set of ideas. There is no real pressure when you can solve all your problems just by hitting "x"

For me his comic applies much more to the real world where sometimes you just have to shut your pie hole and conform to what the majority wants. In real life you have to resolve conflicts which sometimes can only be achieved by letting certain issues go, but on the internet? What they gonna do if you don't change your mind? Write an angry comment calling you a doo-doo head in all caps? Well boo fucking hoo.

I'll scrap this shit later.

Kind of my thoughts on freedom of speech. Everyone likes it but hates it when someone exercises that right...because chances are their opinion is going to be different.

Sometimes I think that I could get away with murder if I shot you. All I'd have to do is write 'GOD' on my gun.

Is the middle finger the hand gesture Polish people use to insult others?

No, I'm asking a serious question. Is the middle finger the silent way Poles say "Fuck you!" to people they don't like?

I wouldn't assume so. The sign letter "T" is "fuck you" in Russian and Korean, I believe the index finger is Indonesian, the index and middle finger is British, the pinky is used in parts of China, slapping your forearm is "fuck you" in some culture that I forgot, etc.

Don't forget that crossing your fingers in Italy is a sign that you are sleeping with the person's mother and their wife.
