Yes---and its ridiculous to think that in the information age that it would take more than 5 minutes to contact everyone in you Blackberry

#@*!!! Anonymous anger rampant on Internet - CNN.com
In August, The New York Times Magazine did a story about trolls, some barely out of their teens, who antagonize others for the sake of "lulz": "Lulz is watching someone lose their mind at their computer 2,000 miles away while you chat with friends and laugh," one ex-troll told the publication.

Some people are just bitter and angry," said psychiatrist Dr. Terry Eagan, medical director of the Moonview Sanctuary in Santa Monica, California. "Sometimes, they're against everyone, other times against a specific group. That person can get really stimulated and can say all sorts of horrible things. But I don't think it's not like they didn't exist before."

You realize most people that are pro-choice don't have abortions.

Win or lose to have this happen on the eve of the election...beyond words. My condolences go out to the Obama family.

I know politics is a nasty game but there is a time and place for everything. I'm saddened to see some of you don't know that there are times where the usual crap should be set aside not because you suddenly like someone but because it's the right thing to do as a human being.

momonkey - take it to another thread. I'm sure some of those in this one would be happy to join you there for the usual crap.

I wonder if McCain's mental instability is rubbing off on his supporters or does supporting a losing candidate make one lose their mind

Republicans don't like hearing about the dead, it's why they never talk about the thousands if not millions of innocent Iraqis we've killed.

And it's ridiculous to assume that everyone is able to answer their phones or sit by their computers 24/7. People have lives ya know.
