On tech: The Flame War



The Flame war is an online battlefield usually located on the comments forums of various site. The music video above by college humor should give those who aren't familliar with the term a pretty good idea on what the flame war and the act of flaming is all about. Isn't it just like people to try and use technology as a channel for bashing on the ideas and opinions of others?

Well I guess this is hard evidence of how free the internet can be. With the creation of sites such as youtube and multiply and other social networking sites people are free to post away on their thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and views no matter how lame, stupid, or insensitive they are. In other words, people have managed to find a way to mess with each other and piss each other off while using the internet as a shield. The flame war is just the effect of bored suppressed people with access to online forums. Now we are free to insult or bash on people of all races and ethnicities and the best part about it all is, that with the internet no one will never know who's bashing on who! So that good news for the assholes of the world, technology is just making their overall goal in life easier.
