youtube is filled with trolls. they annoy me to no end. I never understood what the point was to sit around and leave such stupid comments on all of your videos. if I don't like a video I just stop it and move on. I won't leave mean comments on anyone's page unless they start something.

I won't leave mean comments on anyone's page unless they start something. They're anonymous bafoons like idiots who heckle ball payers. I know if I should have caught the ball or if I overthrew it. Its the same type of thing. Although at least those spectators paid for the right to heckle the players. |

Oh people on YouTube are horrible! They should not be allowed to tell people to kill themselves and every other rotten thing they say in comments!

Most youtube trolls when you click their channel they either have no videos at all or just 1 or 2 really stupid things. Usually its nothing at all.
I don't blame people who don't post videos some people have a channel just so they can discuss on youtube and that's fine. But when they are posting things for no reason other than to degrade or demean or upset the person who made a video that's uncalled for.
There was a troll Called 'Mr Shart Productions' That's pretty funny but you can't expect anything smart from anybody who calls himself 'Mr Shart Productions'
We also run across people who want to argue and all they say is 'your argument is based on opinion and personal experience.'
Isn't theirs?
I do understand when you debate political or social issues you probably wont change each other's minds and that's ok you put the reasons why you feel that way our there and that's discussable.
The AOL chat forums were the worst. I was relieved when I found these moderated forums for discussion about 10 or 11 years ago.

Your argument is based on opinion and personal experience.  ? NO FREAKIN' CRAP! That's obvious! Where else would an opinion come from? I don't know anything about the AOL chat forums, but I know DA can get bad. YouTube isn't moderated and I don't know what is bad enough to get kicked off, but apparently everything goes. |

Thats how I feel too. What ruffles the feathers of the admins I guess. I dont do aol chat either I know what Phil means though you get hundreds of messages in a minute its too hard because you dont get to discuss you just toss our your two cents. We had people here who would do things like that too. They would say they post facts and nothing else. They didnt realize how little they really knew. |

You get hundreds of messages on aol in minutes and not only that but they 're so away from discussion.
For example I was on when the decision to go into Iraq had just happened. I understand not everybody shares my opinion that that was a necessary thing. We could discuss that if we want to but that was being talked about on aol
and 1 member posts repeatedly 'Bush and Cheney how many kids did you kill today?'
and that floods the whole screen when you replied to 4 comments up and its gone now and that same post shows up 20 more times.
Over here with our haters, they got mad at me for sticking up for a younger kid they were picking on. Then they started saying my posts were unnecessary and spam and not thought out *I realize 14 year olds know everything* but the whole thing here they became against adult members.
Then when Sizzlepop passed the admin torch to Classic 1 of the haters had the access to the admin account and wiped out all the posts in the forum and put it in the news feed that it was classic and he was doing this to give the forum a fresh start. That was done to make the members thing Classic wiped the forum clean. Most of us knew something was up and never thought it was Classic and the rest is history.
On a personal note I have had some people who know me personally prank my phones because of Youtube as I have said I have had to put tracers on my phone and I had considered pressing charges. It's mostly backed off now but I still could press charges if it gets that bad.

It would be hard to discuss anything without your personal information or at least how you feel about things. All laws are based upon that prospect. The interpretation of whats right or the interpretation of how the law is written. Sometimes it is about how the law is stated not so much what might be right personally in that case. Sometimes judges have rights to modify cases based on a personal situation that doesnt fall into a black and white law.

That was a way to spite me and Blastgirl and Phil. Mostly me though. I was away at baseball camp when they took action figuring I wouldn't be around to rebut the happening and they were partially right about that. What they didn't count on was the support Blastgirl and Phil would receive from forum members who weren't particularly on our side previously but felt that Bro_c especially but the others with him went too far.
Obviously that was over seven years ago now but the principle remains. Even after that some of those guys ran interference and I ignored them mostly until they said some things to Blastgirl that were too far out of line to ignore.

This is a little different but a girl I only know through facebook messaged me asking if I could get her and her boyfriend jobs with Penn-York or CSX railroad overall.
Truth is I don't have that kind of pull. They accept recommendation letters from employees but they don't hold much water. They view applications and go from there. That's about it. And 2nd of all I would not recommend someone I had never met. People to chat with on facebook or forums might be good discussion friends you have no idea how they work and that's where they have to make it on their own.
When I got hired partime I was going to be summer help in May of 1990. I probably wouldn't have got chosen but they asked if I was able to get a CDL license, and I had it. I was just 18 going on 19 but I had a heavy vehicle license *not a semi* but I was licensed to drive vehicles over 18,000lbs. Not that too many of their vehicles are but some are and I would be able to operate them if need be. And I was willing to basically give up most of and nearly all of my free time for the summer and go where they put me.
I spent a week or more in several places over the months, in September they guaranteed me that I could have full status employment effective in October so I stayed. 23 years later here I am.
