Has society really become so debased in recent times that we signal our respect to others by typing "F"? How pathetic. That to me doesn't show respect at all, it shows complete lunacy and laziness. I angry react every comment I see with just an F.

I do feel that this is part of a wider phenomenon where people don't really understand how to show genuine gratitude and sincere feelings anymore. Essentially, we are more inclined to take people for granted to the extent that we would rather press a single letter on a keyboard to acknowledge what someone has done or said, rather than take some time out to explain why we are grateful. It's ridiculous and this practice should be stopped immediately.

No surprises that this practice originates from an internet game - "Call of Duty", where people literally press F for respects. I think this sums up everything succinctly. I don't expect basement-dwellers jacking off furiously whilst simultaneously shooting down grandmas and hoes to know the definition of respect.

It is important to show our appreciation for others. Stop being a douchebag and "pressing F". It annoys the hell out of me, and I'm sure people look down on you for engaging in such a practice. I know I certainly get the impression of you acting like that bobbing duck toy. Are you a reasonable human being or a bobbing duck toy? Ask yourself that.

I've got an "F" for you: Fuck off with this nonsense.
