Subject: RE: BS: Youtube and decency
Agreed, josepp. Now, do you feel that you or I can do anything about it? If so, what?

It looks to me like the people who own and manage Youtube (I presume someone does...) don't want to do anything about it. Or perhaps they don't know how to do anything about it without hiring a lot of staff as moderators...and that would cost them money.

I used to get pissed off at all the stupid comments on Youtube, but eventually I realized that my getting pissed off was simply putting me in a bad mood and screwing up part of my day...but not in any way affecting the people who were pissing me off.

So I decided to just ignore them and save myself the trouble of getting in a lousy mood over stuff I can't change (meaning: I can't change other people)

I do feel that I have a responsibility to help make the world a kinder place. And I do that by trying to act decently and kindly myself. That's where my responsibility kicks in, and that's the point where I can actually really DO something.

I cannot do something about immature kids who want to post nasty comments on Youtube.
