Do you think that the internet is responsible for discrimination on a mive scale?

Actually, I think the internet helps end discrimination. I acknowledge your observations about flame wars, but i think that in the end, the internet is a very free exchange of information, and that is a type of education. And the more education people have, the more open minded they are. Look at the demographics of the last election.. Most young people have no problem voting for a black president, but many old people do. The culture of today's young people is the internet. It seems to make them more open minded, not less.
