The Internet

So I spent a good 4 hours surfing the net today, and I mention 4 as a lot because none of it was used looking at peeno. Anyways much of it was devoted to looking at movies at imdb.com, specifically the discussion boards about the films. After about an hour it dawned on me that basically the internet is good for two things peeno and hating. I could not believe how many people were just being assholes for no reason, yes I understand Saving Private Ryan was not that great of a film but calling people who like it gay is unnecessary. This hate is only underscored by almost every fifth post being removed by an administrator. Why do people feel the urge to defend the merits of The Matrix Revolutions? I wonder if people would be just as big assholes in real life if they had the anonymity they enjoy on the internet?
