Cruel and insensitive words will never be cool. Sure, you'll get a few laughs and people will think you're "ruthless" and "hilarious" but really you're just rude. I'm not too sure when things like this became funny but, it sure is popular now. The way I see it, it CAN be funny but there needs to be a line drawn. Saying things like this to your friends as a joke that is certain to be laughed at and blown over is, in my opinion, alright but saying things on any platform to someone you don't speak to or know is, stupid. I doubt half the things that are said on twitter, would actually be said in person. It's crazy how a computer screen has the power to give someone confidence that they wouldn't have otherwise. This type of cruelty is definitely a concern because besides the fact that it can be light-hearted sometimes, words do have an impact and that's inevitable. No matter what human being you say it to, they're still going to have feelings and opinions. I personally, highly doubt cyber bullying will be a thing of the past any time soon and that rules or 'laws' should be instituted. Something that sensors your tweets/comments/posts and only allows you to tweet it if it's appropriate. This could be seen as a really uptight and stupid thing to do but it'd prevent some harmful things from happening. I don't think people really see the full picture and the outcomes that cyber bullying and words in general have on people. People literally die over these things, peoples words brought them to a point in life where they didn't want to exist anymore. It's not as much of a joke as it may seem to be even though people laugh at it. Sometimes you need to take a step back and fully figure out what you're doing, you need to be sensible and smart sometimes instead of ignorant and dumb.
I think twitter should have some sort of sensor for tweets. And I know people are probably thinking 'where's the fun in that?' but it's also like where's the fun in saying a bunch of inconsiderate things to people? If you really wanted to say something, it's just as easy to step up and say it to their face instead of creating this illusion that you're bigger than you are.
