The internet is shit. It is vitally important that we all realize this and move on.

I use the internet to showcase my opinion.
My opinion is shit.

yea while i found many of his/her/it's points valid using the internet to tell everyone this seems well rather ironic at the least. also he/she/it offers no suggestions to make it better. and now i will never get that minute back bah!

This particular theme seems to pop-up every couple of years, invariably written by some earnest idiot who thinks that this is terribly new and exciting information.

Dear moron: The entirety of human creative culture is shit. Your precious library books are no better or worse then what is available online. Also, your idea that the internet should be reformed is retarded. Reformed by who? Who sets the rules? Cause there's nothing better then rules to strangle an information stream.

I'm sure there were fools who ranted on about the terrible 'telephone' and how letters were so much better.

Although, the question remains: is the internet shittier now, two years later?

If the internet is shit, what does that make reality TV?

Why couldn't the Sunni visit Baghdad?

He had to take a Shi'ite!

shit gets a bad rap ... without shit, we wouldn't have agriculture ... without shit, we would blow up if we ate anything in a couple of weeks ... without shit, we wouldn't have an icky metaphor for all the things we look down upon ... without shit, we would have little to fling at each other ... without shit, maggots would evolve to eat US ... without shit, monkeys could fly in and out of our asses without anything to stop them

shit is good ... don't be knocking shit, it makes your life bearable

One of his arguments is that there is more/different information in libraries that is not online. But when I need one of those offline references, I always FIRST need the internet to find out which library has it.
