Rate the world around you

The pillory is back. Public denunciation is as popular and as easy as never before. The internet enables a modern lynch law machinery to start a campaign to take an eye for an eye. So now it’s payback time for everybody who you feel has done wrong to you ever.

First website to visit is http://www.ratetheplate.com.au/. Here people can let out all the suppressed rage they accumulated driving on Australian roads. Just type-in the number plate of somebody you think drives far too slow on the left lane on a motorway or steals your parking spot right in front of the house. Then you can make a juicy comment on their driving skills and expose them nationally. Uncensored, of course. If the fact that you make an unproven accusation on an international website does not bring enough satisfaction, think about the fact that one day the police might discover the website and will simply believe you.

From there you can go back to the early injustice of your schooldays and have an even more emotional go on your teachers. Go to http://www.ratemyteachers.com/, look for your school or create its profile if it isn’t listed. Then you get the possibility to name the teacher you want to make a comment about, turn the tables and mark his performance. On a scale from one to five criticize them for their classes’ easiness, clarity and helpfulness. And again, you do not have to be objective when you come to the comment section. Just pour your heart out about your mean old Latin teacher in his stinking socks and sandals and his way to catch you every time you were about to fall asleep.
Here the best thing about the virtual pillory becomes clear. You entirely remain anonymous.

So feel free to rate the world around you and google what else you can make a comment on. Www. divorcenet.com offers you to rate your partner for example. Unfortunately not to tar and feather him, only to find out whether it’s time to contact the creators of divorcenet.
