I am pretty sure that most of them are honest, but what's there to prevent me from setting up a good useful site and stealing all your data?

c26 | bugbear | reddit.com | Like a lot of people I can't claim to know first-hand about the harsh realities of war. That's why it matters a lot to me that McCain is the one leading the fight against torture in Washington. He has a military background; he would not advocate something that would prevent us from defending ourselves. And unfortunately for him he knows a lot about torture specifically.
Even the White House could not avoid noticing how bad it was for PR to have Cheney, who avoided service in Vietnam, advocating torture, and McCain, a war hero, speaking out against it. So they've switched to lying. "We do not torture" is now the official line. For some definition of "torture" that they know the hearer doesn't share. Where have I heard this before? "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." | 8 | 1,134,384,119 | 2005-12-12T10:41:59 | 803 | t3_17844 | t3_17844 | null | null |

c50 | bugbear | reddit.com | As Aaronsw points out, there's a big difference between Reddit comments and Slashdot comments. Reddit comments are ranked. Which means not only that the lame stuff gets pushed to the bottom where you can ignore it, but that, because the order can change, users won't be tempted into the kind of it-is-so, it-is-not, it-is-so kind of interchange that makes Slashdot comments so tedious.
And of course there's no "frist post!" phenomenon, because the (graphically) first post is the one voted the best, not the first chronologically.
Plus you can take a real karma hit if you post something dumb that a lot of people mod down. That should make people think twice.
Put all these together and I think comments on Reddit will end up being a lot better than on Slashdot. | 23 | 1,134,391,358 | 2005-12-12T12:42:38 | 775 | t3_17844 | t1_c36 | null | null |

Oh, and does comment activity make something "hotter"?
Personally, I thought about leaving the site because the interaction that karma offers is pretty cold -- I certainly don't like seeing (-2) next to my name, and I feel like the negative ratings on legitimate articles are going to discourage some people.

c66 | charlieb | reddit.com | Have you read slashdot lately?

c97 | JimThome | reddit.com | First, your claim that Slashdot presents stories to a fourth grade reading level is simply irrelevant. As opposed to Slashdot, all Reddit has no front page commentary whatsoever. If you don't want to see the "idocy" of all of the unwashed masses far beneath your pedestal, just don't click on "comments".
Second, this site is quite clearly not intended as a programming/tech specific site. It's quite clearly not intended as an *anything* specific site. If you love its degree of emphasis on programming and so forth, it should be quite simple for you to implement a similar site with a specific emphasis. Reddit's functionality is not complicated, and as you are a programming and tech "snob" far above our "idocy", you should have no trouble duplicating it. | 6 | 1,134,400,078 | 2005-12-12T15:07:58 | 767 | t3_17913 | t1_c66 | null | null |

c1011 | kn0thing | reddit.com | I think the most intriguing part of Mao's story started post mortem. Every day hundreds of Chinese line up in Beijing to file past his waxy, slightly bloated corpse (I know, I was one of themâ¦and itâs hard to preserve a corpse) and pay their respects. Despite killing millions of his fellow Chinese with his programs, he is still regarded by many with a great deal of admiration. The Cult of Mao is quite penetrating. Weighing in with the âofficial Party stanceâ on Mao, Deng Xiaoping called him âseven parts right and three parts wrong.â
Kinda makes you wonder what it would take for someone to be âten parts wrong.â
Also, it should also be noted that Mao insisted on subordinates who acquiesced to his every request, regularly falsifying production quantities, orchestrating false demonstrations of âmodelâ work communes, etc. all elaborately manufactured to appease Mao. Over the years, he became so ignorant to the realities of Chinaâs plight that much of the destruction he caused was not intentional, but rather a by-product of his own insularity. Not that this excuses it, but it may broaden the perspective from which we view it.
Mao was also a great lover of Chinese Opera, but unbeknownst to him, the production being put on for him was set on the stage of China. | 4 | 1,134,918,332 | 2005-12-18T15:05:32 | 1,310 | t3_19521 | t1_c994 | null | null |
c1012 | tealeg | reddit.com | I've got to agree with the sentiment here.
I've been trying to find evidence of this for ages, but I remember reading years ago that a large software company (I believe it was Sun Microsystems in the days before they bought Star Division) did some research on office software . They found that so called "productivity" software was the single biggest productivity killer in their organisation.
Instead of developing clear, concise messages staff spend hours worrying about fonts and clip-art.
The result of this study was that the company banned the use of office software without express permission. Everyone had to use plain-text e-mail for all communication.
Does anyone else remember that study? Anyone have any links? I'd love to see it again as it is the missing lynch-pin from my anti-office software arguement (a pet topic of mine). | 5 | 1,134,918,931 | 2005-12-18T15:15:31 | 857 | t3_19542 | t3_19542 | null | null |

c1026 | e40 | reddit.com | Women in the porn industry have had the upper hand (in terms of amount paid, compared to their male counterparts) for some time. It follows that the balance of power and the creative control would follow them. Thought experiment: count how many multi-millionaire male performers you can name? I can't name one and have never heard mention of one. Now the female? Well, I can't remember their names, but I remember reading about them, and seeing referenes to them in various documentaries (HBO had one called something like "Sex in the Valley"). There are lots of them.
Lastly, in the days before the internet, the porn was controlled by a few powerful distributors, who were, yes, male (and sometimes affiliated with the mafia). The 'net has removed the power over distribution and created a level porn playing field.
Some say this exact thing is occuring right now regarding non-porn movies. ifilm.com is certainly trying. It's not clear anyone is listening, though.

Well, I'm not a warhawk, so that's not where I'm coming from. This most stupid debacle in the last 100 years? That's another one of those statements which isn't really supported.

c1045 | mnemonicsloth | reddit.com | Ah, interesting. I guess I must've missed the memo:
"WWI was actually caused by competition to exploit colonial resources, Germany's preemption of France as the major continental industrial power, Germany's attempt to build a competitor to the Royal Navy, and the entropic degradation of Bismarck's spiderwork of treaties when the Iron Chancellor himself was no longer around to manage them."
Now, let's ask an analogous question: <i>Seriously</i>, what is the US doing in Iraq?
I submit that the answer is likely to be more complicated than "Chimpy McHitlerburton lied to us about weapons of mass distraction! Michael Moore told me so!" Or, for that matter, "We done gawne inter Eye-rack t' spread dumawkruhsee an' the Gospel t' th' heathen."
If WWI is entitled to a <i>serious</i> causal examination, why isn't the Iraq war so entitled? Answer: attempting to write HISTORY while it's still happening is called POLITICS.
The pompous toad in this article has declared Iraq a stupid war. Fine. What kind of evidence does he have to back up his reasoning? How many soldiers' memoirs has he read (and deconstructed)? How many Iraqi citizens has he interviewed? How many members of the insurgency? Or is he basing his judgements on reports from the western media (who have LESS information than the coalition's military leadership), and the Iraqi media in the run-up to a parliamentary election.
Even if you try to be objective under these circumstances, you're still going to reach conclusions that support the views you already hold. Read Foulcault and Derrida if you don't believe me. And then, if you have any kind of intellectual conscience, knock a point off this assinine submission so nobody has to see it again. | 5 | 1,134,934,816 | 2005-12-18T19:40:16 | 1,772 | t3_19643 | t1_c1043 | null | null |
