It allows us to sit at our computers and say whatever we truly feel without anyone finding out that we are bigots, racists, sexists, homophobes, etc. I always wondered where the venue was for me to find out whether "Gay people hate Blacks more than homophibics"...thank you internet.
And then we can go back into the real world and pretend that none of these issues are plaguing this society and pretend that we love everyone regardless of their differences because I am sure many of us posting aren't sharing our opinions with our coworkers and neighbors.
Don't you just love how we can sit at the computer and hurl insults at people with different religious beliefs just because they happen to not agree with us. And it feels so damn good to sit here and think we may have actually hurt someones feelings. Awesome.
Gotta love the net!

No actually I am a 27 year old Black woman, in awe of the ignorance and stupidity that takes place on the internet.
This is my first time participating in Yahoo answers and cannot believe how insensitive and hurtful people are when they know that have the anonimity to say what they like.

I know what you mean. For me personally though I can't be flat out mean to people in real life and I can't do it over the net either because there are real human beings sitting behind the screen typing. I will admit that I've seen some ridiculous questions on here and I may have made snide remarks but I've never set out to intentionally hurt somebody just because I can.

you don't have a question. you have a story. admit it. yes, Internet can be fun -- not always though. you lose lots of time with unknowns, weirdos, and whatnot's -- and you get good advice from the few -- I have to balance the two sides and I say to myself -- go for it. but not always. this answers part of your query. the rest you don't need it -- you have made your case in your own story. sleep over.

I love the net, but I dont like to hurt anyones feelings. Thats not what its for, and its not what I use it for. I do like the freedom though.

I love knowing that pencil-pushing geeks like you have to say thing like what you're saying on the Internet becasue you would never have the balls to say it to someone's face because you're such a pansy ***. How old are you, 12?
