In principle, I agree with your assessment. It's a relatively small number of "bad" folk out there that get their kicks "stomping on a dream" (as Sinatra would croon). Here's a solution, or, at least, a way to stem the tide.

Here's my proposal: change it. Hold the door open as you exit a store; smile; say please and thank you; stop complaining, we know that people are taught to be lazy, fat and stupid. And, this is for you especially JSF - stop being a dick.

If you don't agree with someone, fine, but don't hurl mud and shit at people.
Just simply say, I don't agree and be done with it. But if you go around insulting people and calling them names, well that doesn't help now does it? It tends to get
people's dander up. Most wise folk would ignore it, but, for the most part, people naturally would want to defend themselves. So, state your case and move on, that extra little dig isn't worth it.

By the way, that little girl that was shot by the Uber driver is a survivor.
Good on her for fighting the good fight.

What percentage of the population do you think those trolls represent? 100%? 10%? 1%? 0.1%?

Let's see ... assuming that 1000 people trolled - and that's being generous to make sure I'm not being too optimistic ... and there are 251,200,000 adults in the US (2014 figures), the trolls represent 0.000398089% of the adult population in the US. But let's say there were 100,000 trolls, just to give your assessment of US 'people' a sporting chance. It's still just 0.0398089% of the US adult population.

I hope I've made my point - that your opinion of 'people' in the US is based on an infinitesimally small percentage, which for some coughdelusionalcough reason you think is a realistic representation of the whole.

SAGAN: We are releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide, increasing the greenhouse effect. It may not take much to destabilize the Earth's climate, to convert this heaven, our only home in the cosmos, into a kind of hell.

Again, you are trying to "look on the bright side" and rationalize away something that shouldn't BE rationalized away. Picking on a kid that's been shot SHOULDN'T EVER HAPPEN, for ANY REASON. And if you think that those comments aren't representative of a larger group YOU ARE DEAD WRONG.
