  • I'm a young person I understand what your saying. I'm praying for anyone who is going through a hard time like brook. I need to look at the blessings I have. God bless. O ya an merry Christmas

  • @BreeBow thank you, and a merry Christmas to you

  • a wise man told me never underestimate people's power to hurt you.

  • k screw this is it im completly fed up with the bs on the internet kids on the internet and some dults its like all you care about is yourself you dont care about anyothers (sorry for bad spelling nd cussing now) fucking open up your head you are fucked up if you think like that im 14 and i know this its like kids will say ill kill you but if you were in real life they are pussys stopppppp trying to be someone else, care about someone else for once the world is going down more and more its creul

  • If you're so sad, kill yourself.

  • i would like too see the video oh man i know what its like some people in this world are very cruel but they will get karmaaa!

  • hey man, like your video. i think at the present time there are alot of people thinking the exact same thing. I'm in my late twenties but for a long time i've thought that there is so much hatred and abuse in our society now, if you can even call it society. Especially here in Britain, we are now a country obsessed with cheap celebrity and personal mocking from influential comedians. it seems almost acceptable now to go down the easy route of personal attack, the crudest the better. sad times.

  • I remember i got lost when i was with my class, my mom and dad called the police and they found me, when i came back to school the other morning people laughed. how the F*ck can people laugh at someone who got lost and was scared??

    (btw sorry for my bad english i hope you can understand)

  • If you "had a good sense" of who you were, you wouldn't be recording yourself on youtube...

    As for the young woman....Everything holds its purpose

  • Unfortunately the internet + anonymity = people being at their worst.

  • I'm still a teenager, and I don't understand why my most people in my age group are so heartless and cruel either. It's like they're only helping perpetuate the idea that teenagers are incapable of self-control with how they act on the internet. I know some of these people would never say those things in real life, but I guess anonymity has that effect.

    It makes me sick, too.

  • the world needs young people that understand,,,,thanks for your comment

  • Yes, Underdstand...

    Respect

  • I'm sure you have realized times when you have been "so heartless and cruel" in real life

    and internet...OBSERVE

  • Its true, and it seems some people get on youtube and celebrate being cruel in all their comments. When I first got on youtube and someone said something cruel to me I was shocked and devistated. I had to allmost harden myself to the cruelty . I can't imagine what that girl goes through on a daily basis. terrible.

  • When you are not making vlogs I can come and visit some of your classics and important message videos. This one was more at the core of the problem than you could speak to. How does one get others to understand that there is a darkness about man that should be curtailed or shown to our youth so that they can over come it while in those wonder lust years.

  • Have you heard anything about Brooke yet? I hope she feels better & knows that not all people are that way. I've watched YouTube clips for awhile now. I've posted only one other comment & that comment was thanking the person for posting the video & making me smile. I'm thanking you now but for another reason. The other clip made me laugh this clip made me think. I raised my daughter to be kind to others & she is passing that quality on to her own children. Thank you again.

  • I agree with everything you said. I am disabled and live vicarously through the internet. Sometimes I watch YouTube for laughs (cute kittens, blooper reels anything that looks intriguing). It irritates the heck out of me to read some (alot) of the profanity and abuse these individuals dish out. The anonimity of YouTube is the only thing allowing this abuse. These people could NEVER stand in your face & say these things! What goes around comes around! And time will show true greatness!

  • thanks so much for your support,,and the very very best to you

  • I agree... I think our society as a whole, also extending beyond youtube, needs a dramatic overhaul in having good manners..Remember "good manners"? "Respect your elders; or one another?" "Love thy neighbor?" I have seen even such cruelty within my own family that has caused a family break up. It is sad! We need to show more kindness to one another..that is what makes us human.

  • Hello Sir, my name is Cody. I'm a sixteen year old boy from VA. I just wanted to say I truly agree with you on this subject, some of the things my friends say to people really can upset me as far as how completely oblivious they are to other people's feelings. It's a problem I deal with everyday, and I'm beginning to get to the point of hating humanity, but it's refreshing to know there are others who still have compassion. Thank you for this video.

  • thanks so much,,,hang in there,,,,,life is good

  • thank you for making this video. i am a disabled veteran i am a recluse mostly because of my injuries it is good to know that there are people the are not narrow mined and superficial out there. in this world to day it is rare. thank you

  • my pleasure sir,,,,thank you for your sacrifice for me and all the nation,,,the very best to you,,,,and while i can never thank you enough,,,,thanks again for all you have done for all of us,,,,rodney

  • 46 seconds....damn dude!

  • and i meant the Theme tune With the paper not that bunny

  • and you were talking About young ones not Watching your videos Lol . I subscribed to you Long Ago rodney Like back when You had the Theme tune at the Start Where is that now!!!

  • To be honest of what you said About big Youtubers Not Doing anything and stuff is what has to be done on Youtube cause its Gonna Get Worse for people with certain "disabilities" Because of how they might feel after seeing the abuse she got

    Ive just Turned 17 And I see what People Are like as Like young ones anyway

  • It is very sad i cant help but to feel for her i have been there sort of,i am not a pretty women at all i was teased with out mercy from the time i was in pre school until i quit high school because i couldn't take it anymore!I still dont like to go out in public very much it made me cry to think of all the nasty things people must have been saying to her!

  • thanks so much for your comment, i hope it helps when people read it,,,,the very best to you

  • Go into any public school in the US and there will be all kinds of bullying going on..I appreciate the sensitivity u display here. The cruelty u discuss is an everyday occurrence everywhere in the US. Kindness is seen as a weakness very often. Cruelty is rampant, just look at Utube...a particularly cruel example is the US Health Care system w/lack of care for the poor or disenfranchised.

  • Everyone (well most everyone) likes a good roast a good joke a good parody but there is a line I would not cross. I love to find humor in almost every situation but I would not make or poke fun at someones disability. I'll make fun of almost anyone (including myself) but I feel it's taboo to make fun of a persons suffering. I do believe laughter is good medicine and will always try to smile and laugh and make others smile&laugh. It's sad when someone leaves because of haters. Nobody's perfect.

  • It's ignorant to think that only young people are cruel or even the majority of cruel people are young. To say that "older" are not as cruel or unfeeling as younger people is just out there. Most of today's atrocities are done by "older" people. You know what the "older" people were doing when your father was being graced with the ability to walk? Shooting down anti-lynching laws in congress so they could keep their right to hang blacks. That's cruel. Stereotyping youths is unfair.

  • I understand your frustration on the situation you are dealing with and, perhaps, you were emotional, but to burden younger people with the brunt of the responsibility for actions possible from people from all walks of life is cruel all on it's own. I hope that even if you don't agree, you at least give this a read through as something to think about.

  • thanks for commenting,,,you point is understood

  • I think you owe RICK ASTLEY an appologly for making fun of him and "Rickrolling" people at his expense. Albeit he is not deformed like Brook, he does have feelings just like she does.Rick may never come on youtube because of your cruel and krass jokes on him.

  • i dont know him,,but please forward my apology ,,,,, thanks

  • talk slower please

  • thanks for watching and commenting,,,,i appreciate it

  • I found this video through several links back through video response.I dont know the full story but hearing from your point of view,yes it is sad that most of the younger generation can be very cruel,but when it becomes down to the views of the world today,I quote a poet "The world is beautiful,it's just the ugly souls that push the buttons".

  • thanks for your comment and thanks for watching

  • thanks for watching and commenting

  • sad indeed

  • yes,,,,,thanks for watching

  • People just don't learn the meaning of humility or being humble these days. There should be special classes about it. One day you can be on top, the next in the gutter. Peoople often realize that too late - AFTER they have done damage to others.

    Thank you for sharing your experience!

  • thanks for your kind comment

  • I wish I got to see Brookes video. =(

    Btw I unsubbed to you before because I was busy, I did it to all my subscribers, but im good now so im trying to find some old people I unsubbed to. =/

  • Thank you for saying what needs to be said- and for reminding me to s-l-o-w down my talking and thinking, a little william shattner in this video- but it works. The internet is new, you, me and everyone needs to help it balance in favor of sanity and decency. written commu. is an art.

  • People don't realize when their typing and recording things that it can have just as much of an impact on people as a verbal altercation.

  • Nice message. BTW I like dancing.

  • I couldn't sleep tonite and got on line to accidently find your video.I am sad too about that which you speak. I feel your disappointment and yes I agree with you-God have mercy on us. All this hate keeps driving me to the same conclusion-the only thing that makes any sense is love...me striving to love others.I have stopped expecting it from others-i give up. Now i just focus on how i can love more everyday in any way i can. Thanks for this vid.

    Blessings

    MamaM

  • thanks so much for your comment

  • awesome video bro...

  • This is a beautiful video Rodney. I didn't know about this case till seeing kenrg's vid. It is very hard, as you say, to communicate with people who are wilfully cruel. I have worked with children who have 'behaviour' issues and most of them are very cruel to one another (and me!), mostly I could get through to them at least once or twice, a couple, I have to admit, were too hard. I know that cruel people are damaged people, not physically but mentally of course. And they want to damage others.

  • It is a sad light on society that there are so many "haters" out there. People who don't care that they are making the life of someone who has enough challenges get that much rougher.

    A true community takes care of ALL its memebers. I hope she has the strength to come back - and I hope we rally around her when she does!

  • It's awful how people are, I swear it goes back to how they were raised everytime. These kids just do as they choose without regard to others. I'm sure the hate she was getting must have been horrible for her and I'm sorry she left. You are right it is sad. Sadly I don't see it changing either.

  • thnx for saying what needs to be said.

  • GREAT video, Rodney.

  • great video, important issue. theres too much cruel acts going on all around us. Young people, old people. it doesn't matter.

    Why should anyone care about others disformality other then thank God for being healthy.

  • Very good video. Compassion is the highest virtue. It's based on the ability to empathise, and the recognition of our own capacity for cruelty (if you've never been cruel, you can't really know what it means. Recognise it & you can try to do something about it). There does seem to be more cruelty & less empathy around these days. Don't know what can be done but awareness of the problem and speaking out about it are first steps.

  • great video rod...

  • Time for change? It isnt just young ones causing the chaos.

  • It seems to me that today's kids think the world revolves them. They haven't learned compassion.

    People like Brooke are here to teach us compassion. They are highly evolved souls.

    Fox

  • Ahh... What are you talking about.. Fox? You have to be kidding me..

  • The Kiddos Learn from there Teachers.. So I would take a look at what your broadcasting Fox.

  • I am saying that disabled people have highly evolved souls.

  • Yeppers I would agree, We can all learn alot/

  • This video makes me very sad, because you sound sad. I don't know who Brooke is, but from what you said, it seems like she was happy making videos on YouTube, and now she is gone because someone gave her a hard time. It's just not right...

  • Hello Rodney,

    We have all seen examples of kids picking on the weak, in real life. It is something that occurs in the immature human. Some never attain the maturity and are cruel as adults.

    It must be some leftover animal response that maybe can't be eliminated. Certainly online anonymous people will exhibit this stupid cruelty. Not sure what urge it satisfies but better on line than in real life?

    I think it is a minority but tht minority is dedicated and prolific.

    peace.

  • I don't think "children are cruel". I think children do cruel things in response to abuses that they themselves have received in the past. The belief that "children are cruel" is problematic because it perpetuates what Alice Miller has termed "Poison Pedagogy" where the adult tries to beat, humiliate, or otherwise verbally shame the "innate" cruelty out of the child. Which teaches the child by example that its necessary and right to verbally abuse those that are less powerful than oneself.

  • I highly doubt that young people are behind all the cruel acts on the internet...

  • certainly not all

  • I agree it is very sad, great video

  • thanks for watching and commenting

  • There ya' go. Thank you for sharing your heart. It is very sad, the insensitivity we harbor for one another as humans. :(

  • thanks for watching and commenting

  • Very well done! thanks for "telling it like it is" when it comes to the haters..5 stars!!

  • thanks for watching and commenting

  • thanks for watching and commenting

  • You should never feel less of a person because of other people`s actions.You should be so proud of yourself to care,God Bless. :0)

  • thank you

  • your welcome..hehe:D

  • We've lost a lot of good folks because of the trolls & haters. They can be horrible & hurtful, & remain faceless. That's what gives these cowards their balls.

    *sigh*

    I guess we can just delete, block, & forget, and try to get on with our real lives.

    You're a good King, HelloRodney. *hugs*

  • thank you

  • This is what we know, Rodney: cruelty and love live side-by-side in the human heart. We are all capable of both. Civilization has developed, partly, as a means of protecting the less fortunate from the cruelty of predators. Seeing how easily civilization's morals and mores dissolve under conditions of anonymity reminds us of its fragility. May those who are routinely cruel, and their children, experience behavior like their own for all their days. That, I'm afraid, is the Sicilian in me.

  • thanks tom

  • I have to wonder how much encyclopediadramatica has to do with all the hate on Youtube.

  • The problem is too many people don't do anything and let them get away with their cruelty. We should abuse the abusers, bully the bullies because they deserve to have their own medicine returned tenfold until they comprehend the consequences of their words and actions.

  • Great video.

  • thank you

  • Dear Rodney,

    Can you please make a "Come Back Brooke Video" I I have no way to make a video @ this time....I am currently learning how to make videos and I have a sucky camera..

    I'm sure this is something you could do for Brooke,myself and the other Nice You Tuber's

    You have a big heart and that is so awesome!!!

    Love,

    LadyJava

  • i was actually afraid to put videos on here at first because of how shallow most people are they dont look at who people are but what they look like.looks fade who u are is forever

  • i totally agree with u it makes me sick to see how cruel people are i dont have near the disabilities she has but i was born with cataracts and have deep emotional scars from kids in school

  • get that camera and start makin' videos,,,let me know when you start

  • It's amazing peoples capacity for unkindness, not just in an anonymous setting like youtube, but in real life as well. Good video about a sad but sadly unsurprising situation.

  • thanks for watching an dcommenting

  • P.S. Brooke....Not everyone @ You Tube is an asshole........Come back to us soon!

  • I know the video you are talking about. Paul Fetch posted it.....My son's aunt had was born with no cervical bones in her neck. Sandy died a few years back @ age 50 from alcohol abuse. Sandy never got over how people reacted to her deformity. Brooke if your out there come back to YouTube.......

    Love,

    LadyJava

  • The most immature person on YouTube has a heart of gold.

  • I know mate -- the world is going to the dogs and it's getting worse by the minute.

  • its sad

  • really, a great video, five stars!

  • thank you

  • I agree Rodney. So many kids are growing up these days with no guidence and no family. They are unaware of what their words will do to others or how their actions will be taken. If you look back over time, you can see how the world has advanced in many areas, but in doing so we as a society have left our children behind in values, and social skills.

    I believe the bible says something about spare the rod and spoil the child. Well...I guess we proved that one?

  • unfortunately

  • I think spare the rod doesn't mean hit your kids. A shepherd uses his rod to guide the sheep not hit them. I think a lot of kids don't have enough guidance from adults. I think too many parents use the TV and internet as babysitters.

  • Its been proven many times down through history as to what the words mean. No debate here. Thx

  • I'm 17, so I guess I'm one of the 'young people'. I watch most of your video's and I like them. It's the way you make your videos and the fact that you take your time to say things.

    I agree young people can be very cruel, but there are some really kind young people out there too and that's very important to me, because I see lots of young people around me who are pure selfish and arrogant. That doesn't give much hope to me, but let's just forget about them and thing about the kind ones.

  • im happy you watch my videos,,,,perhaps forgetting about them is part of why they are the way they are,,,maybe they need an example so they can see the peace that comes from kindness and love for others, perhaps that example is you.

  • wow, a 17 year that like that he takes his time. That is a rarity!

  • Yeah, indeed... My classmates find me weird because I like to write poems and like to philosophize about things. I must say that I've always been different from people my age. It can be hard sometimes, but I'm glad I'm different.

  • great video, its true about young people they really can be cruel.

  • thanks for watching and commenting, i do appreciate it

  • great video, its true about young people they really can be cruel.

  • I know how you feel, Rodney. It's very discouraging on so many levels.

  • Good video Rodney! 5 stars for you.

    The sad part of what you speak is that these "people" are the future of the race. Pretty scary, pretty sad.

  • As one of my favorite fictional characters Conan put it.

    "Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing."

    take from it what u will.

  • i cant disagree with that

  • more so with the internet... when anonymous and hundreds of miles apart, even a chiwawa can spit on a pitbull...

  • thanks for watching and commenting

  • what? no Rick roll?

  • nah

  • it was.. kinda funny

  • it wasnt funny to me

  • I wasnt saying the topic of this video was funny

  • Hey buddy. I have no words of wisdom. It IS painful to see cruelty. Sometimes I wonder if life is worth it...maybe we all should be tossed under a bus. When I look at my granddaughter Keira I wonder how she will handle what sometimes seems to be a hopeless world. But there is hope. I work with handicapped people...some of whom are wheelchair bound. I watch them smile. I watch them continue despite great pain. It is enough.

  • Is this the first time youve witnessed this? Every time a black guy or girl make a video its showerd in ni**** comments. Youtube is hate central bro.

  • hate is everywhere, this is true, but when someone is set upon that is totally helpless, its a different kind of hate

  • Yes, we live in a cruel world, but, at the very same time, we also live in a loving world. See both sides, Rodney, see both sides. Life is good/life is terrible. I think, I hope there is a balance.

  • for me its very hard to see the positive when i see someone so frail being treated so unjustly,,,,i just know what i saw and heard in that video,,,but you see it all the time on yt,,,but you are right,,,ill try to remember,,,thanks

  • Thanks for the concern.

  • First!
