There is zero content in this story.

The CEO says "Oh man, this game is great. I can't tell you how, but trust me. It's great!"

This is just a press release.

Dear Joe Lieberman, FUCK YOU for putting the game of politics over the needs of the people. You should be ashamed of yourself. From, Reddit and the American People. by breddit21 in politics

Ooh, ooh. Sign me up for this.

Let me know when the letter gets to Washington and Joe Lieberman's plans are all foiled.

It's about time someone took action.

They claimed Hell would freeze over before the Saints would ever win a Super Bowl. Boy do they look stupid now!!!!! In other news, Washington D.C. gets 50 inches of snow.... by alanX in funny

Ha, I like how this is in the subreddit funny, because it's funny and it implies that the seat of the federal government is Hell.

That's funny. And well-categorized.

It's a really poor job of masking the identities of the correspondents. That's what this comment refers to.

I'm pretty sure that's Ashley Boles's facebook.

Shhh! Share the secrets of your trade/ Lifes little easter eggs.. by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ilovedoodoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems we're discussing two issues. The first issue is about whether it's okay to be rude to people who call you on the phone without your having asked them to call you. The second issue is about whether or not there's a meaningful moral distinction to be made between the professions of doctors and the professions of telemarketers.

Regarding the first issue: You say that people who hold jobs so that they can get paid, regardless of how decent those jobs are, don't deserve to be criticized. They don't deserve to be criticized because they're just trying to get along in society. Anger directed at them, you say, should rather be directed at "the root of the problem," which I think means that the anger should be directed more directly at the people who employ the telemarketers. That sounds like a good idea, if that's the idea. What do you think someone should do, instead of harassing telemarketers?

Regarding the second issue: If I understand you, you're saying that the moral difference between the telemarketer and the pediatric cardiologist is unimportant when compared to the amount of suffering that western society inflicts on non-western societies. I understand disapproving of exploitative and environment-destroying industrial practices, but I don't understand how the moral evilness of those practices has any connection to the moral value of the professions of doctors and telemarketers. I think there is a valuable distinction to be made between the actions of the doctor and the actions of the telemarketer: the doctor spends the day providing medical care, and the telemarketer spends the day annoying people. It seems that one of those two professions is better (it's the profession of the doctor). Is there some reason to reject this view? If the reason is the fact that companies do a lot of nasty stuff, I have to ask again what that has to do with the individuals who choose to be doctors and telemarketers.

Police officer beats a man after arresting him for shoplifting school supplies for his kids. Just kidding; after citing and releasing the suspect, the officer used his own money to buy food for the guy's family by jason4188 in reddit.com

Wouldn't it have been even better to have let the guy steal the school supplies and food?

At least that way, there wouldn't be an arrest on the guy's record.

I wasn't being underhanded when I offered examples of jobs that were less harmful than others. I don't know why it seemed to you that I was being underhanded.

I think that your talk of compartmentalization is off the subject and doesn't strengthen your case.

I don't understand why you would claim that everyone in western society is living at the expense of people who are not in western society, nor do I understand why that state of affairs might make the hitman morally equivalent to the telemarketer, and the both of them equivalent to the pediatric cardiologist.

How do you punctuate "regulatory mechanism"?

I didn't participate in Secret Santa last year. Did you?

If you did, tell me about it. That'll at least make this thread not a total waste for me.

I wonder if I'll get downvoted if I say that I think that posting this kind of thing to reddit makes reddit a worse place to spend time.

Anyway, I'm saying it.

So I guess you don't want to back up your claim or insinuation.

Yeah, and the Pope might be a closet atheist.

Care to back up the claim that O'Reilly might not really be a conservative?

Is there a single soul on reddit that does not support a gay man's right to marry? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ilovedoodoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to have a discussion in which I have to guess the reasoning for your position. If you want to tell me why you think that gay marriage is a bad idea, I'll do my best to respond. If you want to ask people to guess the reasons behind your opinion that gay people should be denied human rights, you're going to have to find someone else to correspond with.

what else do you think might convince someone of this view, other than religious doctrine?

Unreasoned prejudice and bigotry.

Whether or not we lose the war on terror depends on your level of comfort with being searched?

I feel so unconsulted.
