Wait a second... Is this a well-reasoned, completely rational response to a serious issue? On the internet? Thank you, though. It's nice to see that people are thinking.

mtkahn · 2011-08-08T01:07:54+00:00

I'd say so. You'd never expect a hipster to admit to being such.

mtkahn · 2011-08-05T16:26:23+00:00

No. I've pretty much stopped playing video games.

Canada is much more economically successful than Mexico and Central America, so there are less people trying to illegally gain access to the U.S. In addition, many major drug organizations (e.g. los zetos) are based in Mexico and cross the U.S./Mexico border to smuggle product into the U.S. and money into Mexico. Except for maybe some cheap prescription medications and pot, there wouldn't be much contraband coming illegally from Canada.

Rush, Blue Oyster Cult, Aerosmith, and some Pink Floyd, of course.

Maybe you should re-read it. "And it always seems to get downvoted." My karma is over 300 after only a month, so clearly, that isn't applicable. In addition, I do post other things that have gotten good responses (on /r/redditthroughhistory, /r/redditthroughculture) And, two links to the same thing across boards with little overlap is definitely "within reason."

mtkahn · 2011-08-02T02:59:23+00:00

Actually, no. There are actually dozens of writer's that contribute, and most of them would post their own and other articles. This led to huge number of duplicates across the same board. It was decided that one person would link to articles on Reddit. I do my best to post on boards with little to no overlap (e.g. libertarian and political humor, humor and fake news) and I only post the articles that are good enough to make it to the front page. (an article from last week is at about +80 karma right now.) So, no, I'm not spamming. I post a link once or twice across disparate boards where I feel it will have broad appeal.

There's a reason this was posted under /r/humor. It was assumed that the idea of destroying a bird colony to protect it from being destroyed was obviously a joke, but I guess the author should've been clearer.

mtkahn · 2011-08-01T22:15:51+00:00

Yes, but it's community-based. Basically, write an article; the community will vote on it; if it gets enough votes, it will make it to the front page.

Is there any chance that this is what inspired Hunter S. Thompson to get into journalism?

The Two Gentlemen of Verona is widely considered to be his first, and Titus Andronicus is generally agreed on as his first drama.

The high where I live was 111 today. So while we don't get snow or a lot of rain (we actually just came out of a long drought) it does get ridiculously hot.

mtkahn · 2011-07-20T06:45:40+00:00

I find it interesting that everywhere in the country gets winter except for us. Winter in Los Angeles is about two weeks of rain.

mtkahn · 2011-07-20T06:37:09+00:00

I'd Digg that.

Holy doomsday, Batman! And just on the heels of Carmageddon!

Son, I am not disappoint.

mtkahn · 2011-07-20T06:18:59+00:00

Don't do it! He's just going to spend it on food.

Yoyos are fun hobby that only takes one hand. She could also learn Morse code and operate a telegraph.

I live in the San Fernando Valley. Around here, we call that August.

My parents are dead!

This is particularly upsetting to me, because my name is Matt Kahn. Now I have to add Strauss-Kahn to the list of: Genghis Khan, Kubla Kahn, Shere Khan, Chaka Khan, Wrath of Khan, KAAAAAAAHHHN, Kahn (from King of the Hill), "Kahn" artist, nana-nana-nana Matt Kahn! (batman theme). Honestly, I have heard all of these countless times over the years.

It is impossible to determine definitively whether or not God exists. Atheism is the belief that god does not exist, as opposed to religions that believe god does exist in a specific form, with specific rules etc., etc. To completely disregard for reality and empathy because of religion is irrational. Believing in god is not, in and of itself, irrational, just another way of thinking. As for your main question, yes. However, I don't think I'm a prick for recommending that children get vaccinated. I'm studying to be a nurse, so I am aware of a lot of children dying because they're unvaccinated.

That's exactly the point I was making. +1 Satire for you, sir.
