No I didn't just crawl out from under a rock but still as I talk on other forums I'm continually surprised at the number of simply dub human horrible people out there. On one thread someone wanted to get a guy to shut up so he posted a link to a picture. The pictures showed a battered women, black eye etc, and in large letters, "This Bitch didn't know when to shut up, Do you?!". Why the fu!k to people think there are any circumstances under which it would be OK to post that, let alone think it's funny. You know what almost every single person took it as a light hearted joke.
Another instances someone posted an article about a group of illegal immigrants beating an MIT group of students at a robot engineering contest. I know illegal immigration is probably a touchy issue here but some of the comments there really disgusted me. One person's reply was that they should be round up and shot in the head. Another person said they routinely work with Mexicans and have never found them to be smart and he thinks the article is fake, because in his opinion this is to clever a job to be the work of Mexicans. While there were some dissenting voices most seemed to just brush these comments of.
Here's the link to the second thread if you're at all interested in perusing the comments, and the MIT article is linked there too.
