No, I wouldn't because Hate groups only bring more violence and  no reconciliation for their cause. People join hate groups for their lack of competence and most them join because of peer pressure or wanting to accepted by others. I live in the Bible belt. Hate groups here advocate against equality. These groups believe they are doing a service unto God. How incompetent! These people don't realize that they are hurting themselves and not other of a different culture,origin or skin color.

According to The American Consumer, people who identify themselves as being 'Liberal on most or all issues' are likely to spend time online than those on the other end of the spectrum (upwards of 40% more hours per week)  So, that's the reason.  More Liberals on the Net translates to more liberals on Yahoo! Answers, a portal of the world's largest media company (and therefore, very reflective of over-all netizen demographics).  Wasn't it refreshing to just get a factual answer instead of a diatribe :)  Oh, but out of curiosity what 'events that took place' were you referring to? (please post in additional details and/or the comment when you pick best answer).   By the way, 'Salty' I read through some of your other questions/answers and was surprised at how well articulated they were coming from a 15 year old.  Good show :)

You're not alone.\n\nThe "lol" was meant to illustrate the persons reaction at that very moment but I think it's become habit now. It's entering places other than chat rooms and messengers because people no longer know how to express themselves without it. \n\nThe person on the other side of the screen isn't actually laughing out loud all the time. "LOL" is being used in chats and forums to make light of a situation or something someone has said so the person reading it won't take it the wrong way as that so often tends to happen. It's also used as a filler when someone just doesn't know what else to say.  I know because that's how I've used it myself during chat.\n\nThe "LOL" should definitely be kept where it was meant to stay and used sparingly. It should never leak into forums such as this where it just doesn't belong or make sense. However, it and other shorthands are a huge part of the internet culture and won't be fading any time soon. \n\nGuess we all have to get used to it.

DEFINATELY - i can see it as being a success for many years to come. i don't know a single person who hates/is bored with friends. Hey maybe if we sign a petition they'll bring it back!

It's VERY addictive! There are some really really great people that come here and then you have your typical hateful, gay bashing, fools that have nothing better to do with their time than be mean. But I"ve made a couple of good friends from this site! So I'd have to say YES!

They have something called "slang." Such as pwned for owned which means to defeat an enemy easily. And "lol" for laugh out loud. Is this what you wanted?
