I am a senior citizen and I enjoy reading the daily Yahoo News articles. Recently I have started posting comments and replies for my own personal entertainment. In the beginning I was astounded at 1.The emotional immaturity. 2.The lack of common civility. 3.The reactionary posts. 4.The apparent lack of education. And 5.The ignorance and stupidity displayed. Although it may show a certain amount of immaturity on my part, I often bait and antagonize some of these people just to see how far they will go in hurling epithets and insults at me. I sincerely hope that the average Yahoo commenter represents the bottom third of American society intellectually, because if he or she is representative of the Average American intellect, I honestly believe this nation will fall from its leadership status as the #1 country in the world before I am gone.
