Son of the year?

How far is too far?

Can't you people understand?
Admittingly, I think I may have withered many hours on the internet. More than I should. There should be limits. This is insanely addictive. The whole world at a touch of the finger.

But how far is too far?

A friend of mine a few years back felt so cut, so angry, so flustered that he stopped talking to me because he promoted me to Operator in some obscure mIRC channel then I demoted him from Operator status jokingly. Seriously, some people lose all sense of priority and actually think that the ability to "ban" people from a channel in an internet relay chatting program actually has some real significance amongst peers they don't even know and could care less about. Obviously important to someone. Laughable.

I've had people declare to me about their infinite hatred for their parents because they took away their beloved modem. It's as if one of their life support was taken away. If you lose internet and you don't know what else with your spare time, then that's a sad thing. Really. Then again, some people live inside the internet and have no outside contact of the world and have completely lost touch of reality so it's hard to judge.

Probably not.

But this kid, he took it just that one step further.
