The worst thing about Reddit:

Post by CashRules »

It's not an actual physical place that can be nuked.

There are far too many such "places" thanks to the internet and way too many unused nuclear weapons.

To be honest, I don't think this type of responses is a particularity of reddit.
However, if 4chan was to be nuked, I don't think that sadness would be my most dominant emotion.
Common sense is another word for prejudice.

I'm shocked that phe de didn't give me a lecture on the evils of advocating the use of nuclear weapons against people who have unfavorable opinions.

As far I know, there's nothing factually wrong with either of his sentences.

Ok, you asked for it. [winkgrin]

In your OP, you didn't say anything about people. Just about places like Reddit.
So, you have just committed the logical fallacy of moving the goalposts! You suck at logical fallacies! Muhahaha!!! [laugh]

More seriously, if I got my undies in a bunch everytime somebody said something of questionable intelligence on the Internet, I guess I would melt the chairs I was sitting on.
I am, hopefully, not this guy.

Did you hear that 4chan may be shutting down? Apparently they're out of money. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37563647

The problem is that when those sites shut down, its users spread out to contaminate the rest of the internet - which is what happened on Reddit when the worst subs were closed.

They didn't think it through, though. No one actually says 'Googles' and 'Skypes' because there are only one of each, and especially not in the same sentence. Should be pretty easy to get an algorithm out.

I'd say a good number of the posts are fairly positive in that thread at least, but it seems like the douchiest ones are the most upvoted.

It's people like those who make me almost grateful that over here you can get jailed for writing racist things on the internet. [none]

I remember when I first found Stormfront years ago and couldn't believe that it was legal.
