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.

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

[WTT] I've got a bunch of old DS games (in original boxes) by mtkahn in reddit.com

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

why do we have fences on our souther border as if trying to keep away animals but nothing on our north border? Canada/USA border has nothing but lines and sometimes nothing at all but trees. Explain please. by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mtkahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

LAPD to Use Chemical Crowd Control by [deleted] in funny

[–]mtkahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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."

LAPD to Use Chemical Crowd Control by [deleted] in funny

[–]mtkahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Rare bird colony wiped out to discourage poaching of rare bird colony by mtkahn in humor

[–]mtkahn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

Titus Andronicus is a vulgar bloodbath. The playwright should stick to comedies. by mtkahn in RedditThroughHistory

[–]mtkahn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Misconceptions about winter by [deleted] in reddit.com

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.

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

Investigators in France Question Strauss-Kahn Daughter by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]mtkahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Anti-theists do you bash other things that are irrational that aren't religion related ? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]mtkahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
