What Defines a Community?

[jkmom1030]

Good video...I am teacher, and since this is used for classes, please make sure spelling is correct...busses is buses...audiance is audience. :)

[AnthroVlog]

@jkmom1030 Thanks for this comment. I do not see those words in the text description of my video. Where did you see them?

[mattman624]

Who really cares?

YOU TUBE censors your comments, Profanity, ignorance, simplistic views are fine but not anything that would be anti-middle-class or anti-olygharchical??? this will probably not be posted?

[OhCurt]

I love what ShortBusMooner, BigJoeSmith and ZenArcher had to say especially, but everyone here hit the nail on the head.

Such an awesome weekend that I'll never forget.

And YOU BET it's a community!

:-D

[glassspider66]

i like the first guy but every one else and you watching need a box of bullets!

[TheRealInvaderZim]

Microwave there is a real easy way not to have problems with the ATF 1.don't declare yourself a religion and start buying 50cal. sniper rifles. 2. Welcome everyone into your house of worship,don't make it a compound.

[uhleeeesuh]

what defines "Your gay" ?

[zeystube]

What do you mean by ''MY'' gay?

[kokohawk]

Great collaboration of real-life video discussion. Great topic with thoughtful answers. It was good meeting you at southtube!

[microwavefishsticks]

The problem with communities or I like to call communes. Is that there is always someone who wants to lead. Then as enough times goes by you have the ATF driving tanks through your compound like waco texas. When ever I see anything to do with coming together

or joining something I will always turn my head in another direction and run. However if you dont like thinking for yourself by all means this join a community.

[katalina2007]

I think that ZenArcher summed it up best....Yes, there are certain "cliques" popping up here in youtube...but I also choose to go in between 'em, and NOT be a part of any ONE "clique."

[calin7k]

What the fuck is wrong with you people ? You lack culture, motherfucker !

[proudyke]

Thank you for being there Patricia and for recording a small slice of voices (and images). Haters will always be there, but like a light in a dark room, the positiveness of most You Tubers will shine through and overcome their negativity. Love is infinite, pass it on.

[proudyke]

P.S. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to partake in your research. :-)

[BigJoeSmith]

Dales words really hit me hard... his words were poetic and true to life.

[BigJoeSmith]

Prior to being accosted by the grammar police, I meant "Dale's" above. hahaha Since I'm commenting I should also mention this is a terrific video.

[DaleATL2]

Thanks Big Joe!

:D

[ShortbusMooner]

Uh-oh! There I was! LOL! *blushes*

ZenArcher did explain it so eloquently! :)

What a fun community! Thanx for being part of it, Patricia!

[vikingsquid]

Thanks a bunch Patricia for asking these questions.  Very interesting study of community and what it defines.

[Frequency100]

Excellent video Patricia! Loved it. YES! YouTube is a community. No doubt.

[DaleATL2]

Thank you Patricia. This is a wonderful examination of people's thoughts on communities within the online world. Thank you for asking me to take part.

One more thing . . . I've heard the comment regarding it was like a "family reunion" and I think it was better than that. You can't choose your family, but you can choose your friends! So we had a reunion with people that we chose to be "our" family! hmarty :)

[ZenArcher]

I have made that statement about it being a family reunion. Yes we do choose our friends unlike our families. However, coming on a social site like Youtube, we do NOT have any more control over who belongs to the community than we do who we are related too.

Be Well! ~ Zen Archer

[hmarty]

hmmm, I beg to differ slightly. We may not have control over who is in the community, my thought is we do have some choices in who we associate with. That was more of my line of thinking. Hugs, hmarty :)

[hmarty]

Wow, Patricia, this is awesome. I'm going to post it on SouthTubeGathering! Thank you so much for participating in SouthTube. You were a true joy. Much love, hmarty :)

[lemonette]

Very well done! Thank you so much Patricia, for asking me to participate. I think everyone involved did a wonderful job of explaining (or trying to explain) how YouTube truly is a community in the best sense of the word!
