Double-edged Sword




Internet can make someone a star overnight, but there are times when it goes unhealthy and causes harm than good.
I was browsing through internet, and watching parody video on nighahiga channel. The latest was on Rebecca Black's song, Friday. People are saying that the song was ridiculuos - the lyrics, the voice, the whole video clip. Some posted hatred comments, asking her to just die. Gosh...
Another video is on the bully in school in Australia. Casey and Richard. In the video, Richard was seen to bully and pick up a fight with Casey. It has been going on for 3 years, and when everything piles up, Casey then brutally smacked Richard down. The video goes to youtube, and Casey gets the support, while Richard is hated as if he is Gadaffi, hated by the world.
I am not saying that Richard is right, BUT.. come on... they are kids. Right, that they need to learn their lesson, but WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE? Posting your harsh and hatred comments. In the long run, it will never be helpful, not to Casey nor Richard.
Internet provides information. Information is Power. Power is double-edged sword - use it right and it will do you good and vice versa.
