Does reading through this site sometimes ever make you feel disheartend with humanity?

Question

I mean the whole site yahoo answeres not just the sociology section, answers and questions what does this interface mean on a sociologic and.... personal level.... again the whole site

Answer 1

I get really nervous about the future of the planet if these people represent the next generation.

Answer 2

It is a poor substitute for discussion in an increasingly isolationist world.  There is no way to know tone, inflections, gestures, body language, and so on.  There is no fellowship, no "hanging out" -- just a bunch of people sitting in front of computers, all of whom (to a point) think that they know enough about enough to educate a few other people, all the while knowing that it's like whispering in a hurricane.  Truth is here -- so are lies.  Love is here -- so is hate.  Faith and doubt are neighbors, acceptance and rejection rub shoulders.  It is what it is.

But it's not all bad, is it?

Answer 3

no, but it is a reminder that mankind is frail, inexact, and brutal towards one another, and it's always been this way.

Answer 4

True, I totally agree with you. But at the same time, I sometimes feel that way no matter where I am and others are around, it's bound to happen when there are large groups of people together. Sometimes I wonder about the current generation. Still though, there is good in everything.

Answer 5

Sometimes, yes.  What is apparent is the fact that  loneliness, insecurity, fear, depression, divorce, and other emotional and societal ills continue to persist - unabated -in general, despite our progressive technology and high-speed trek down the information highway.   Also, the numerous references to Islam, Muslims, terrorists, bombers, 9-11,   civil war, genocide, Darfur, etc.:  It's enough to jade  even the most optimistic  of any one of us.

The good news, I suppose, is that there are plenty of caring people on this site, I think.
