In Reply to: It's informative, but frightening to read comments at the bottom of an article like this. posted by Dick Nikon on 2012-04-21 08:26:08
Pretty much the worst place for a real discussion--far-right hate sites have more interesting comments--but somehow strangely compelling all the same. Like an endless ocean of stupid. Certainly reflects a certain segment, but in the grand scheme of things not really representative of all that much in my opinion. The average mostly uninformed person (who doesn't post on the internet at all) tends to have better takes.********************
