Yep, this is the Internet

    That stuff will rot your brain man. The real shame is that political discourse in the country has been reduced to 10 second sound bytes and fear mongering on both sides. The end is nigh…

    so…. the author is against activism? or just activism on that particular day?

    I know the purpose of this article is really to babble nonsense, but the author could have paused in the pulpit-pounding to suggest the *right* way to commemorate/remember/mark 9/11.

    I sure would like to know.

    the internet makes me sad sometimes… the extent of ignorance and stupidity out there never ceases to amaze.

    but yay to reviving the old red LEP theme!

    I would like to say that comments are the responsibility of the commenter only–else you and I are both in serious trouble. Not to mention the Mascot, as some of his posts have drawn some pretty wild stuff.

    But on a more basic level, I think y’all are wrong about this being an internet phenomenon. This kind of comment used to appear in anonymous pamphlets scattered about the landscape, shortly after the invention of the printing press in 1500-something. In other and older societies, people said things like this to their neighbors. It’s just that nowadays we all get to see the stupidity instantly, and all over the world.

      Robert I think that most people are reacting to the fact that even today people are this ignorant, I mean c’mon Hail Negro? REALLY. Who talks like this???

      As far as that article, I am concerned that there are people who think that that is actual journalism, but hey, what are you going to do?

      It’s amazing the number of people that cannot distinguish between an editorial and actual news.

      Although sometimes the difference is subtle and they are often lumped together.

    It’s a real advantage for interstellar defense. An alien race bent on conquering intelligent life in the galaxy will overlook us.
