I thought that's what the politics tab was for.

this wouldnt work. The amount of stupidity on the internet is directly proportional to the amount of outlet it has.

No. That would mean that so many trolls and terrible posters would show up more often in other tabs. We can't have that.

Idiotic headline. It's not my fault that I must raise my voice to point out that Taxbongo has spent my children into financial ruin. Thank God Herman Cain is going to do away with this nutbag and implement a tax plan that will force everyone to pay their fair share. That includes the welfare queens who drive to the welfare office in their Cadillacs with the gold-plated rims. Get over it, libs. Your communist utopia is dead. You got beat. The Tea Party rules the airwaves. The Tea Party rules the House. The Tea Party will soon rule the Oval Office. Get over it libs. Barack Obama is going down in 2012. Get over it, libs. You lost. Get over it. You lost. Get over it. Get over it, libs.

What we need is AI that is capable of detecting derp. It would be incredibly easy, just train it on YouTube comments. Mmm, interesting side project.

I realize this is only marginally on topic, but I wonder if it's actually possible to have tourettes or OCD on the internet. It would explain some of these kinds of posts.

The politics tab is like a black hole on Fark where the trolls dance around a fire like wild Indians, while the rest of us just read these comments and simply shake our heads in dismay.

I don't know which has made me laugh more from M.L., the name "Taxbongo" or his Boobies about Mario Chalmers that just made the entire NBA playoffs better.

That's got to be the worst Onion article I've ever read. There was a time when I could laugh at the headlines alone, then the meat of the story was just a bonus. Did they lose all their funny writers and replace them with the writers of Saturday Night Live? I'm a little embarrassed I read the entire thing. farking dreck. Not a single redeeming quality about it. I wish we could get rid of the self-greenlighting modmins on this site, it would certainly help weed out to obviously shiat articles that nobody could have possibly greenlit if they didn't submit it themselves. RIP The Onion, you used to be funny, now you're just shiat.

People who don't believe in the moon landings are almost as much fun as 9/11 conspiracy whackos. Fish in a barrel.

I have an opinion on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is the correct opinion.

The people who reside in my area, and by extension myself, are superior to the people who reside in other areas.

Your choice of politician is based on various deficiencies you possess such as intellect, morality, and character.

Which makes me think this may be a disturbingly profitable venture.

How much does the name squatter want for it?

It used to be funny because it portrays reality in a hyperbolic ridiculous light. Then reality became hyperbolically ridiculous.

Sites like Something Awful, Reddit and Fark would be virtually empty. The Consumerist would be completely empty.

While that is great and all, but nobody goes to the political tab looking to become better informed, and nobody leaves with their minds changed.
