Web 2.0 fail: Comments

Comments are one of the big innovations of web 2.0. They let users engage, give feedback, build a forum of ideas and diverse opinions. Yeah.

Reading comments is like staring into the sun. I try and avoid it. I know it will be painful and bad for my head. But every once in a while, you just have to do it.

For example, this article, then comment:

Majority of U.S. Cocaine Supply Cut with Veterinary Deworming Drug

Cocaine's a hell of a drug, and even more so when laced with another drug that's commonly used to deworm opossums. Federal agents have found that 69 percent of cocaine shipments seized entering the United States contain levamisole, a veterinary drug linked to serious weakening of the immune system in humans. Here's the real funny part: no one knows why.

It's cut with a drug that causes the immune system to shrivel up and die for the same reasons there's immune-system attacking chemicals in all the vaccination shots and why there's fluoride in our water(it's not for cleaner teeth, buddy).

The #1 agenda of the worlds super-leaders is de-population. That's right. Call me loony.

Google fluoride toxicity and do some research.

While you're at it, google vaccine squalene. Then google vaccine thermisol.

The only people who endorse this crap are "Officials" of our government and the World Health Organization. And the studies done do "de-bunk" these claims are FUNDED by the same people making the product.

If you see the word "Offical" it's a red flag for "BS"

12/19/09 at 5:38 pm Have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water? Vodka, that's what they drink, never water. On no account will a Commie ever drink water, and not without good reason. Water is the source of all life. Seven-tenths of this earth's surface is water. Why, do you realize that seventy percent of you is water? As human beings, you and I need fresh, pure water to replenish our precious bodily fluids. Are you beginning to understand? I drink only distilled water, or rain water, and only pure-grain alcohol. Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation. Well, do you know what it is? No you don't! Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face. Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk, ice cream? Ice cream, I tell you, children's ice cream!...You know when fluoridation began?...1946. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?....

This one goes on, gets even weirder and seriously off subject, head over to the page to read more.

Dont have time to write much this morning, but basically, its out there for all to see: comments lower the intellectual value and interest of the internet, not raise it.
