YouTube and Mean People!



I just discovered that Parents TV and Better TV have channels on YouTube. So, I thought, "Wow, that's so cool! We're on YouTube!"


Ok...that was until I read some of the comments. You-tubers are harsh people!!!!! At least the "comment-ers" are. I've never posted a comment there, or read any, so I had no idea how negative they are.


In the last two years of working in television....being in the public eye, I've come to a conclusion: People who "comment" or "write in" are complainers. They are the negative people looking for something to hate. They want to rant. They want to give their opinions and they want to make sure it stings.


I've read hate mail sent to the most amazing, sweet, hard working and wonderful people on the planet. I've even received such mail myself. Letters from strangers tearing apart my intellect, my appearance and my intentions.


The "nice letters" are about 1 to 1,000....and it made me think: Nice people must be too busy being nice and looking for the good in people to take the time to sit down and pen out a nasty gram.....or a nice gram for that matter.


Mean people, on the other hand, must have a lot of free time. Because, all I ever see anymore in the "comment world" is complaining, criticism, tearing down,crude, rude, nasty remarks. It's seriously depressing! Stop drinking the hatorade for breakfast, people!


So, here is my plea. All you nice people (and you know who you are...) Take a small moment next time you're watching something on TV, or You Tube, or Myspace, or whatever.....and write something......nice. Encourage someone. Let someone know you appreciate what they do. Otherwise....the stinkers will have all the say!


LET'S TAKE BACK THE COMMENT WORLD, PEOPLE! See if we can suffocate those mean, heartless people with a flood of pleasantness.


(I guess this blog borders on complaining....eh? Well....I just had to vent a little.....back to being nice....)

I have noted the same. As a culture, I think that people (in general) are out of the practice of being encouragers. It leaves scars! Part of what has been so healing about working in the Worship and Creative Arts at SPC has been the friendly gestures and genuine care of the staff and volunteers. People take the time to say they appreciate and are concerned about each other. You, Jill and Janet are particularly adept at that. Thank you for being a balm to my soul!

personal favorite from a "discouragement card" on a Monday morning following a Sunday with orchestra playing in the gym years ago.... Can you ask the violin player to wear long sleeves, I dont like having to look at her flabby arms when she plays.

Holly,
You are an amazing worship leader, amazing singer, and an amazing person. Above all your talents your humility is what makes you so great to be around. Don't ever change. And this post was hilarious, as well as sad.
