I just don't understand a person's logic when they type mean and hurtful comments. Do they think because they're sitting behind a screen that it doesn't matter? To be truthful, these folks would NEVER say these mean things in person. EVER. They'd be too big of a coward...but behind that invisible screen? You betcha! I've always lived by that motto, "treat others the way you want to be treated."

Even if she did something wrong, I don't know what the guy hoped to accomplished by discussing it on the radio. On a similar note, when single mothers bash their children's "deadbeat" fathers, the fathers often have their own side of the story (such was the case with a guy who I used to work with - the mother would have you thinking that he did nothing for the kid, but I would overhear him talking to people on his cell phone and trying to figure out how he could get partial custody).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7055531662616520992.post-78907801692581134012015-07-30T22:17:40.279-04:002015-07-30T22:17:40.279-04:00I am so sad about this, too.

I am always shocked at the horrible things people say on the Internet I watched a TED talk this week about how Twitter ruined a lady's life because she tried to crack a joke and said something ridiculous to get more likes... and she got fired over it. She was wrong, but things people said to her were horrible and no one riped them apart. I think we should be positive to each other. There is so much hate in the world, why add to it??

I was shocked and numbed to see the hate spew towards his wife on various social media accounts. In fact nowadays, I am shocked daily about the hate spewed. People have taken freedom of speech and the safety of screens to say awful, hurtful things that are tearing down our society ... not lifting it up. This post was well written and well said ... thank you for feeling the need to voice these concerns ... My only hope is that there are more of us out there ... then those who feel the need to tear others down and contribute to negativity.Christina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902101428347794687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7055531662616520992.post-82623855444080865722015-07-30T17:49:16.665-04:002015-07-30T17:49:16.665-04:00I definitely agree with this post so much!

I will never understand why people waste time writing mean things to someone, if you don't like them or agree with them keep your mouth shut. Spend your life focusing on those that matter to you instead of wasting your time writing hateful things over the internet. There is enough hate in the world without people adding to it. All actions have consequences and the way someone reacts to their hate could be fatal. People need to mind their own business on things that don't concern them and keep their opinions to themselves.

There have many times in the recent past I want to delete all social media because it pains me and gives me anxiety to see how people treat others in this world. And they do it for no reason & most the time it's something that has absolutely nothing to do with them, but rather an opinion or judgement because they don't agree with the individual. We have a 19 month old son and I constantly think about the societal issues he will grow up with in which his father and I didn't. All I know - I will promote positivity, individualism and love his whole entire life.

Don't get me wrong, I've done it too but there are two sides to every story and most of the time you only hear one so who are we to judge? And even if someone made a mistake, that's no excuse to call them names or belittle them.
