thank you all for hijacking my thread, you completely missed the point.
I don't give a damn WHAT website it is that you frequent or what game it is that you're obsessed with, the point is people are missing out on meaningful relationships and being distracted from all the messed up sh** that's going on in the real world outside of chat room/message board drama. I'm not putting down online communities, there's a time and place for just about everything I just think that people need to talk more in person. People are becoming distanced from each other. There was a time when people knew all of their neighbors and probably even had a friendly rapport with each other. I'm sure for some of you that may still be the case but regardless that's just one example of how technology keeps people busy and away from real social interaction which is necessary when the time comes for everyone to band together and rise up against the oppressors of this world, none of that everyone for themselves crap, by that time it'll be too late. I guess if y'all are happy with the world we live in then by all means keep consuming as your told but I want change.
