while browsing and commenting and generally looking for people that seem like someone i would want to talk to, i've noticed something. well, more like a list of things:
-the more some one complains about xanga being a dying website, the more hate post they make about another user. gee, i wonder why their 'old friends' dont have accounts anymore.
-many people think they are important enough that "so-and-so" user is their own personal troll.
-drama becomes immflamable faster than three cheerleaders on the rag fighting over the same guy.
-disagree with someone, and its an instant bitch fight to the death, along with blogposts about how much the world hates you.
-there's a lot of moms here posting about their cute kids. [and they really are cute]
-the youger the user, the more they treat xanga like a hybrid child of livejournal and facebook, not like their own personal internet hate machine.
and just a small comment/example: i've been apart of conversations between atheists and believers, and not once did the convo turn bitter, nasty, or hateful. God, what a concept.
*the younger 'us' are more accepting of someone and their opinions, and i think have better relationships with eachother in the end.
