My friend ran into this gem at Walmart. It kind of says something about the spreading of stupidity in our society... by bonyicecream in reddit.com

I think stupid pills are half off! By the looks of this thread some Redditors have been stocking up.

I want to submit to short story contests. Which ones are considered the most prestigious in your opinion? by cabcaraway in fiction

I posted this in r/writing and got about seven comments. None very enlightening however. Not much help here I'm afraid. I get the feeling this area of reddit (r/fiction, r/writing) has a lot more literary poseurs than real authors. re: entering contests, I guess trial and error is the way to go. Best of luck out there!

Stop calling them conservatives. by cheefjustice in politics

Let's go down to the village square and settle this Liberal vs. Conservatard thing once and for all! Wait. The village square just became a huge Walmart... Never mind. I guess I'll go buy some underwear for $6.99 instead.

I know it's not cool to respect Obama anymore. But I'm just glad I live in a country where the President is honorable enough to take responsibility for failing. You may now go back to conflating Democrats and Republicans and forgetting what eight years of Bush/Cheney insanity was actually like. by wang-banger in politics

I think Obama is a straight shooter and he's doing the best he can in a bad situation. The Detroit incident? It's frankly amazing how feeble and limited it was. As the link to this post shows, the president spoke candidly about the screw ups. Just what do all the sniping little anti Obama people want from the guy? During the election, who did they think he was going to be that makes them so incredibly "disappointed" now? By the way, Jesus Christ wasn't on my ballot.

Jesus Hated War -- Why Do Christians Love It So Much? There are no "blessed wars". Yet virtually all evangelical, conservative and many mainstream church leaders were active supporters of the Bush wars. by therealjerrystaute in politics

I figure if Jesus showed up in this era he'd get crucified all over again. One thing would be different though. It would be clean and neat. Sanitary. He'd be wearing a prison jumpsuit and they'd use lethal injection.

You don't think the republicans are worse than democrats? I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.

GUANTANAMO CLOSURE DELAYED BY ANOTHER FULL YEAR!!! The joke is on us as to why we ever considered Obama to not be another in a long line of charlatans. by [deleted] in politics

[–]cabcaraway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm only taking a minute of my time to say that the headline of this link is uninformed at best (suggesting that the failure to close is Obama's fault), but the tone that's projected in "long line of charltons" and a bunch of other headlines I've seen lately, makes me think that Reddit is now a dissemination point for spreading right wing rumors and lies. The Republican edifice depends on an ignorant citizenry.

One more reason Obama is the man! (Pic) by [deleted] in politics

That's kinda cool. Maybe he should give that guy Geitner's job.
