How come I never came across this guy's YouTube Channel before?

He has some interesting clips and I agree with most of the things he said about "stupid"-phones in this one:





PS: KTS, there are a lot of trolls on the forum lately but I don't think it's as much as 90%, well, unless you're saying everyone is troll. :)

I think trolls are mostly in it for the game or fun factor and a "good" troll will change to fit each targeted group....How they are identified is different topic than the troll's psychology. It's still interesting though

I assume as with most voluntary repeated behavior (good or bad) trolling involves reward of actions by a pleasant chemical release in the brain. That's why they do it so much. :lol:

Also, the internet is something completely knew to the human psyche. Before people couldn't act like dicks all the time because they'd get thrown out of the tribe or something lol..... The net allows them to act like dicks, get the corresponding physiological reward when they get a rise out of someone else, and not have it affect their real lives.

Seriously? And now it's mods' turn to instigate and judge people, Mr judge? Ma expertise-kaagii baad forum-ka keentay, Hyperow?

I see a new pattern emerging lately and as Somalis used to say, "Hashu maankeyga gaddaye ma masaar bey liqday?" It seems even if you mind your own business & practice 'Live and let live' Somalis won't leave you alone. I was wrong to be critical about AbdiJohnson's controversial and 'in-your-face' approach as Somalis don't respect 'qun-yar socod' folks.
