You can't say bad or else you'd look like a jerk for coming on an Internet message board complaining about the Internet. But you can't say it's good or else we might start to think you're a loser without a social life with too much time invested in places such as this. Your best bet is to pretend you never saw this thread and go back to stalking people on IRC.
Good, cause I've met some of the coolest people ever on the internet.

I second (third?) DMKA.
Good
Electronic Journals are love for University students. SO quick and relatively easy to find the journal you need.
As Rubah said, I have actually become far more sociable then before I went online as much. And I'm not scared about talking to people. Its also improved my once awful spelling and grammer into something thats still bad but not cringe worthy
Friendships. I've learnt about what goes on in America and other counties much more then from the news via my online friends. They tell me what they feel and how they think. So rather then me getting a big bias view depending on which party is running my country, I can see what the people actually think
Plus its something to do in my somwhat mundane life
oh and
havn't done that in AGES
Trust No one

Good - It is incredible useful for research purposes etc, cant be bothered to go on about all the good things about the internet because there are countless reasons why the internet is a good thing!
Bad - With the internet being free from censorship, any speech is allowed, thus meaning racism and prejudice are freely expressed. This is why the internet has bad features.
Agreed. Anyone here's going to say it's a good thing. I think it's a good thing. I've acquired plenty of friends and skills from using the Internet. And plenty more too. It's mainly foolish soccer moms who dislike the Internet.
Good:
Research
Games
Forums
Bad:
Nasty sites

I disagree, yes the good side of the internet is fantastic, but the bad side is just disgusting. Racism and prejudice is expressed freely as their are no restrictions on speech.
You don't even have to go to the areas where there's racism and prejudice. Just stay on EoFF's forums, don't use an form of chat or messaging (or, if you do, just talk to people you trust) and stay off all IRC channels. Hey, presto.
I hate people who have racist views, etc. At least on the Internet people are being honest about it, because there's no one to get them for saying it. As wrong as that sounds, surely honesty is better than people lying in real-life? Don't flame me for saying that, and don't get the wrong idea, either. It's just that in real-life, lots of people have prejudiced views, and hide them.
Bad:
Psychotic.
Oh, and furries too I guess.
The internet is awful! Makes me want to projectile vomit. Never touch the stuff, myself.
The Internet is despicable! I love it.

1. If I did not have the internet, I would have klled myself years ago.
2. I can talk about my geeky obsessions (final fantasy) without being teases to hell.
3. I have lots of friends on the internet.
That won't stop us from teasing your grammar.
