Remember kids: Black Lives Matter is a bunch of whiners who are looking for reasons to be offended. The real oppression is a lack of Christmas iconography on your coffee cups.

Greek Mythology?

I’ll be real honest, I’m the product of COUNTLESS stories. Countless little things from all over the place. Not too much of any one thing has impacted me hugely other…

To me, true atheism is exactly the same as religion.

It just doesn’t bear consideration to her. It’s too absurd to devote time thinking about it*. She doesn’t use or need the information to make life decisions. Religious people do.

It’s Stratfordian theory, and it’s not a theory. Shakespeare actually existed and he wrote those plays. Absence of evidence does not mean evidence of absence. Furthermore, your interpretation of the word “theory” is laughable at best and the movie Anonymous wasn’t “suppressed” it was a dumb movie that was critically…

There is no cohesive mission statement for either that would direct the behavior of the commentariat. Both are simply forums that attract readers based on an individual’s interests.

In some ways I agree with you. The Gawker network is largely an echo chamber where a bunch of PC types pat each other on the back while doing nothing constructive. However, this article clearly mentions Reddit. So I’m not exactly sure what you are ranting about.
