The Internet
I don’t know how people sleep at night. I am referring to that asshole that ran that beijingticketing.com website that scammed all those people out of probably millions of dollars. And he didn’t just scam regular people like you and I, he scammed the families of the athletes too. Imagine being a parent of an amateur athlete and having him reach that Olympic level and then not be able to see him/her perform. To not be able to see him/her enter the stadium during the opening ceremonies. What a fucking asshole. I hope they catch this guy, and I’m pretty sure it will end up being a guy. When they catch him, they shouldn’t treat it as fraud either. It should be treated as murder as he killed the dreams of many people and worst of all the parents of those athletes and even the athletes themselves who after they perform will not be able to look up into the stands and see their loved ones.
The internet has brought about some really awesome stuff, but unfortunately it also brought about some new kind of fuck-up like the one mentioned above and all those porn loving perves and worse, child porn loving perves that are able to get away with it much more easily now then in the past.
I mean the internet has even eliminated our ability to communicate with each other. I am a shy guy to begin with, but now, talking to a ‘real’ girl is even harder. I am not even talking about trying to hook-up or meet a girl I mean even when we hire a new secretary, it takes me a few days just to approach her, and thats if she’s normal looking. If she’s pretty, forget about it. I read an article a few months ago where they surveyed and conducted an experiment (and don’t ask me how) where they had a bunch of college males in US and tested how … ummm … they were able to perform, sexually. I think the rate was like only 50% could get it up with a ‘real’ girl in the room and those that could, couldn’t perform for very long. Good ol’ internet porn!! The reasoning was, well the girls in porn are prettier and you have a wider selection.
As I understand it the internet was first created as a military tool for the US Army and although I spend way too much time on it, I sometimes wonder if the world would have better off if it was left that way.
