    My mother thinks the entire internet is evil including something harmless like Wikipedia. The reason she said this was supposedly because of my changed music taste. Yes, me changing my music tastes and widening them caused my mother to call the internet evil. And she believes it has completely changed my personality because I used to like watching sport and now I'm not interested at all in sport.

    That is why she thinks the internet is evil. But I just am like, why do you think the internet is evil, just because a terrorist group is using it to recruit other people from different countries doesn't mean it's evil as a whole. In fact I would say "Don't forget it's the people not the form of communication that is what causes things to be evil." It's almost like she is superstitious and yes she does have a strong belief in religion which could cause the overreaction in calling the entire internet evil because people have done things on the internet. (No offence to any of you religious people in the forum as I'm not saying every religious person has this reaction, it's just a possible thing to factor).

    I don't think it's evil at all.

    But it is evil. If you look up "evil" in the dictionary it says:
    evil
    [ee-vuh l]
    adjective
    1.
    morally wrong or bad; immoral; wicked:
    evil deeds; an evil life.
    2.
    harmful; injurious:
    evil laws.
    3.
    characterized or accompanied by misfortune or suffering; unfortunate; disastrous:
    to be fallen on evil days.
    4.
    due to actual or imputed bad conduct or character:
    an evil reputation.
    5.
    marked by anger, irritability, irascibility, etc.:
    He is known for his evil disposition.
    6.
    The entirety of the internet



    And then a picture of the Internet Explorer logo.

    "Raise your hand if the Internet made you this way!"

    "Now that that's settled, let's invade Russia.
    These 4chan guys say it's a great idea!"

    "But Mein Fuhrer, what about my Facebook notification?"

    "Nein!"

    I fucking hate Nazis.

    It brings me great joy to jab at and speak ill of them. Also, I was trying to bring up a point to Justinian20 and his mother, that evil may use the Internet but it isn't the Internet.

    The other option was a bunch of Mongols, but there isn't much I Khan do with them...

    Make her a Facebook account and connect her with couple of her high school friends. She's going to change her mind immediately. That's how I updated my mom on the whole Internet stuff, now she's more glued to it than I am.

    On the notion of evil, Oxygen kills people. It kills and destroys everything, so I guess Oxygen is evil. :slight_smile:

    That means the following things are evil too:
    -Study books
    -Movies
    -Television
    -Radio
    -Cooking recipes
    -Holy books (including the bible)
    -Pictures of kittens
    -Calculators
    -Dictionaries
    Because they're all on the internet..

    People tend to hate on shit that they know nothing about. If they don't understand it, it's wrong. IE: I hate soccer, therefore, I can't wrap my mind around why people play it.

    My dad never understood why I liked the internet so much in my teen years. I was never glued to the computer, but when I was on it he always had something to say. Until one day he realized I could look up the PGA Tour leaderboard online... He has a smartphone and everything now lmao

    Kaiser you do realize I already know that it's the people who are evil not the form of media and communication. So I know that the internet isn't evil, it's basically my mother who thinks this. I was going to post a funny thing in response as well, I'll post it tomorrow sometime.

    No, it is the Illuminati that's evil, and they plant the notion that the Internet is evil in our minds so that we won't use it to expose them!

    I suspected as much. But I had to be sure you weren't a spy for your mother, the Gay Agenda is too important to fail, because it is EVI-- I mean...

    If the internet was just pictures of kittens and nothing else, it would still be the greatest invention ever.
