The first time I heard someone spouting internet acronyms like actual words, with a serious face.

I'm voting "The Internet" on this one.

I love this, not one vote for video games lol, well I have no faith in humanity as long as people like Glenn Beck, Sean Hanity, Rush Limbaww, and Nancy Grace(by far the worst out of the ones I have mentioned) are on the air.

I havn't simply because I know there has to be more great/smart/kind(ish) people like us around the world. That keeps the faith.

i'm a fairly upbeat and chipper person, occasionally compared to hammy from over the hedge, and I've got to say I've never really had faith in humanity. I think people are capable of amazing things but thats largely individuals.
That being said I wholeheartedly believe that people are flawed I go through my day tripping over peoples feelings, or being unreasonable because my perceived needs aren't being met or some other nastyness (not all day everyday you understand) so I have never assumed that there would be any noteable number of people out there who would do any better than me. People/humanity isn't going to rescue itself from the mire that we've dug ourselves into, we'll just become more individualistic and self centred.
/see up beat - chipper LOL

When I realised that the future majority of the human population will be either:
A) Twilight fan-girls (who call themselves "Twi-hards"), or
B) Lads, who see it as a passing-through to manhood to beat up anyone who is obviously weaker than them. (Chavs, to those who may be confused.)

Of course, there will always be exceptions to these sub-cultures.
But I can't help but wonder if we are really set up for the future, knowing that these are the people who will lead humanity into the unknown.

Well... I don't recall when I lost my faith, it was when I started seeing how stupid and futile we all are...

Not all of us of course, there are some unique individuals out there waiting to be discovered... but still.

X-Files quote: "Eat. Sleep. Defecate. Procreate. That's all they do. That's all we do, but at least insects don't kid themselves that it's anything more than that. Does my scientific detachment disturb you?"

When i realised that the leaders of the government of my country consider themselves to be real christians who are looking after the interests of the people, even though inflation is officially around 300 000% (though independent estimates put it at over 1 million %), there are no longer any more functioning hospitals (leading to a massive and uncontrollable cholera outbreak), the collapse of the currency (so we now use US$), the education system, and most of the civil service. All the while these leaders, who have a high level of education, continue to blame the problems on a cobspiracy by the West, including a recent statement by one minister that the cholera was as a result of "biological warfare used by Britain."
Pardon my ignorance of the world any more than five paces from my front door, but what country are you from Double-O? I'm British and the biological warfare part intrigued me, I thought you were talking about the US until you mentioned currency.

Edit: On topic; I guess my answer of 'Media' is due to reality TV shows, particularly the ones that put couples in situations that encourage them to cheat on one another, though I hate all the rest too. Occasionally there are rays of light in the world that make me realise we can't just kill all humans, but it would be far more efficient than isolating and culling the ones who need it.
Sounds like he's from Zimbabwe

The sick stuff on the internet: beastiality, animal abuse, self abuse, abuse of others and 2girls1cup made me decide that i hated most people on the internet... but not to loose faith in humanity

Every day I'm thankful that I still have my faith, my hope, my innocence and sense of wonder. It's not easy, of course. It would be easy to surrender to cynism, to hate, to ignorance and apathy; to point at the flaws of others to feel better about myself. I can do it, I'm strong. But I feel sorry for those who're not so lucky.

My faith in humanity, or rather trust in humanity, got screwed up pretty early in life, about 10 years ago (18 now):
I was always bullied when I was in primary school, going home from school was always a Race to the Finish to get home unscaved (wich made me the fastest kid on school). Not that they beat me up often, it was more psychological torture (having to flee all your life isn't exactly nice). But anyway, one day they decided to have a bit more fun with me, and chased me around the whole village. I thought I was safe from them, when I hid in some kind of tube thing in a little playground, hidden between some houses. Now at the time, I had 2 really good friends, réal friends. Now for some reason they were nearby, and ofcourse what did they do: rat me out. After that I got chased in some climbing slide thingy, the bullies cornered me and threatened with a knife telling me to stay away (even though I'm the one who's fleeing) from them. After that they tried to trash my bike, and my 2 'best friends' simply laughed and ran away. And there I was, my parents didn't take it seriously nor did my teacher. All alone, no one to comfort me, no one to help me. I never really made real friends after that.

PS: I have the feeling I typed this before...o well.
