I put the blame on the disappearance of basic human compassion for their fellow man.
Right, because not too long ago we actually danced naked in tropical forests in perfect harmony with nature, only taking breaks to snack on berries and give each other back massages.
It was only due to the advance of technology that transformed us into cold brutes, who would consider feasting on Bill Nye's eyeballs if he didn't come to fast enough.
Bullshit. I never insinuated anything so disgusting.
People do not give a flying fuck about anyone else anymore. They actually used to. I've seen it in action. As violence has become more prevalent, people have become numb. I never mentioned technology, it was part of the article. My disgust was not with Twitter who cannot control what the stupid fuckers post, but with humanity making the fucking posts. I have no fucking issues with technology. My issue is with the emotional lack in the humanity that surrounds us.
I wouldn't have stood there. In a group or alone, I would have tried to help in both situations.
I wasn't trying to blame twitter in any way.

Have you seen the tv show 'what would you do?'
Yes I have and some of their scenarios are downright vomit inducing.
I understand life isn't all peaches and cream. I'm not stupid. However, there is no crime for having the basic compassion to try to help a man lying and dying on the street, or to see if the person on the stage who just fell out is still breathing. People haven't always been this way. I wasn't raised to be that way.
They had a bunch of kids record this bully beating up a "special needs" kid on the schoolbus here. People were outraged that the kids taping it were in trouble. I told my kids at the time they would have no clue what trouble was if I ever found out they had stood by and let something like that happen. AND DO NOTHING? Fuck that.
