Yes.

Facebook is chock full of idiots of all stripes. It's a dungheap. A cesspool.

The collective IQ of Facebook makes AOLers from the 90s almost look smart.

Facebook strives, and succeeds, at making commenters on Youtube look good.

In my early days of commenting on things on t'internet, I made the mistake of attempting a debate with someone on youtube. I only ever did that once.

I think that people should be given a test before someone sells them a product that allows them to access the internet.

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

I've never experienced it, but then I don't go looking for it.

To me, on Facebook or on the internet in general, anything that is said on an individual's or group's own platform (short of anything illegal) is fair game. It's their platform, if I don't agree with it I won't be there in the first place. Unless of course you're talking about some light trolling, which I always find amusing tbh Devil

It's only if I saw religious people making crass or stupid comments on a more "public" platform that isn't theirs, that I'd feel a need to get involved or say something. With that being said, I think most internet fights are pointless. I get forum debates, the whole point of a forum is to have a discussion, but I do cringe when I see people going back and forth on non-forum platforms like Facebook or twitter.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable."
