I just kinda read the "Becoming a Technophobe" thread (I haven't previously, I didn't think it could be that interesting), and I thought I'd throw in my five cents.
I have nothing against technology, including but not limited to the interwebz, facebook, twitter, internet forums, et caetera. It's the people I'm worried about. Not about the fact that face-to-face communication starts to disappear, but the fact that miraculously people start treating their opinion as a fact, throw away all authorities and are generally leaning towards egocentrism.
The fact about the internet that I hate the most is the false sense of anonymity it gives. People start acting like retards, stop caring about how others see them. Not only it dumbs the intraspheres down, but it also starts pouring out to the real world. The thing I have been observing for quite a long time now is that there is more and more presence of the information superhighway in the real world. At least in Poland the dumbing down of the internet appears in ads of mobile carriers and a popular local web instant messaging service called Gadu-Gadu, mainly targeted towards young people. When I see those (usually they're huge billboards in the city centre), I puke a little in my mouth.
Oh, and Viper, do try to write your posts more coherently and with less grammatical errors. English isn't my main language, but I still do try to spend a little more time shaping my posts. If you start to do the same, you will magically see other people take your opinion more seriously and stop treating you like a nuisance. Give it a shot.

Thanks.
In Boy Scouts, there are 7 ranks you can attain
In this order:
Scout
Tenderfoot
Second Class
First Class
Star
Life
Eagle
For Eagle, you need to complete a large service project, which involves getting a sponsoring organization and leading people, fundraising, etc.
Mine is still in the planning stages, but I am going to make a War Monument for my town for wars between Vietnam and Present day.

Thanks for the advice. I like how you put it then the rest of them, you weren't trying to flame me or be a comedian but just simply giving me good advice:approve:
