could someone tell me what is this  statement  'oh we are just trying to make the internet a better  place  '  jusifying  what we can see read and intract on the internet i thought it was suppose to be the 'people's place  to access what we wish to see read and interact.( i know it was a myth but no one told me to think otherwise ).
i hear so much crap about oh users of chat programs are not real people and then the contary  people are real behind those screens with real feelings etc etc .
and the internet is suppose to be a place for fun but of course the 'kind of fun' will be choose for you new rules;new programs,of course we cant have people in this world doing or saying just what they want to say (despite in certain countrys we claim to have freedom of speech ( yes i know that another myth )so people just what is this mean 'we have to make the internet a better place ?

Simple. I want everything I want on the net, and everything off that I don't want. That makes the net better for me. I don't care about anyone else.

Believe me that is not my opinion, that is my answer to your specific question. Surprised nobody else picked this up and responded, oh well.

It is the Net version of taking a spoonful of cod liver oil, "It's for your own good" or a spanking for a minor infraction, "This hurts me more than it hurts you".

"I was just trying to make (fill in the blank) better," has been the excuse behind nearly every supression of freedom and atrocity throughout history.

erm...... more to the point what the hell does all the above mean??? No punctuation, constant mispelling, took me three reads to actually make some minute sense out of it. Not even sure what the point of it all is anyway. It sounds like the middle of a rant where no one got to hear the beginning. What is the context for this question?? Who is "trying to make the internet a better place"? So yeah- maybe try and exercise a little care when posing a question. This was just a mess of words.

cMS, this is the worst you've seen ? Where have you been ? I've seen posts on the net that make the OP here look like a professor of English. I've seen all kinds of errors in textbooks, legal documents, everywhere in fact.

To the OP, you could tune up your writing style a bit. You wouldn't have written it if you didn't want people to read it, so the point is to make it easy to read. Even if you don't punctuate or capitalize, try to make paragraphs. Just two simple hits on the enter key from time to time would help alot.

The Golden Rule (like Murphy's Law) has grown to a myriad of axioms, one of which is to try to always include a useful suggestion with criticism.

I try to proof everything I write, but I still make mistakes, and some of them are dooseys. I have caught myself having typed "now" instead of "not". Imagine the havoc that could create :

"you are not crazy"
"you are now crazy"

What gets me is that the W and T keys are not that close together.

cMS, go back a few pages in this forum, there is a thread specifically about this subject called something like "Judging on grammar". I think the last post was literally a few days before you joined. Welcome aboard BTW.

Feel free to reopen that thread, which will regurgitate it to the top of the list, you "sound" like you might have an opinion to add there. See you there, any more is a hijack.

For now, let me trasnslate the OP now, in a very basic way. His contention is that people are expressing a desire to improve the internet, which is largely unregulated today. Spied upon yes, regulated no. He sees that any improvement anyone could come up with would probably amount to regulations and restrictions. He is asking for rebuttals possibly in the form of ways to really improve the internet, even from the end user side, or want further comment on possibly just not fixing what isn't broken.

He mentions fakes on the internet, but his thinking goes nonlinear at that point so I don't know about the last part. This can also be caused by taking too long a break while writing a post, I have done it myself. Of course the good people here have always been available to point this out to me and I am sure they wil be here to point  it out to you as well
Muah ha ha hah ahahaha.

At any rate, I would say that the internet is just fine, don't do a thing.

BTW cMS, you seem to have joined at just about the most boring period of CM, because post election, all the shakeup, everybody wants to talk about that right now. When that time is over [soon] it can get very interesting.

See thats not how I read it, I thought that he was actually talking about how frustrating it is that people consider online as not being real life, that people spend too much time in front of the internet and then he muddied the issue with a phrase out of context. Mind you thats only because I read the other post that the OP made about two seconds before writing this one.

It is superfluous.
