Stopping the Rant - Two downsides of the Internet

Although the internet is a great and powerful tool there are two main downsides to it:

Bloggeria
Using the net as a tool to vent anger, frustration and fury.  Rambling on about anything without any meaning or benefit to anyone.

Facebook is a good one for this - make a comment raging about the government and then 10 people agree with it and liking it, subsequently feeling justified for the negative comments.

Writing blog posts for the world to see about goss and dross which fail to improve the quality of anybodies life thus wasting your own and others time

Distraction
Its a huge distraction and deceives us into believing that we have power.  It encourages an addiction to information and strengthens the mind of distraction which leads to mental unrest and disquiet.

Stop the rant is the title of this post and is referring to the disquiet in the mind that arises from negativity.
The rant is not really the fault of anything outside of the mind it is simple an expression of confusion.

Ranting is a self confession that things are not right inside - take a look and see.

If you train the mind to become quiet the ranting ceases and peace naturally arises.
