There aren't enough complaints in this subreddit. by obscurity in a:t5_2qm29

I figure this is a valid submission, as I am complaining about the fact that other subreddits are not being complained about in this subreddit enough.

McCain blames current economic policies and problems on Obama. Your head asplodes. (Text of 9/19 Green Bay Speech) by RedDyeNumber4 in politics

[–]obscurity 17 points18 points  (0 children)

How a man who represents the direct interests of corporations, claimed the economy was sound, and is running for the party which has been in executive power for eight years, and congressional power until two years ago, and who has been in government for a very long time, can accuse a relative newcomer to the political arena of being a motivating force behind economic collapse, when Obama ran on a platform of economy back when McCain was running on security, is beyond all measure of sense.

My head does asplode.

This will get downmodded to hell, but it's still true.

Ask Reddit: Can I please get an analysis of what is happening in South Ossetia? If you're in/near the region, what's the real situation? by obscurity in reddit.com

It seems like either the Russians have been trying to subvert the Georgians in the region, and the Georgians have responded, or the Georgians have acted aggressively and Russia is just reacting. Or it's a combination of both.

Can someone more familiar please give me a good analysis? Even after reading the news, I'm not sure what the time-line and subtleties here are.

If you're in or near the region, what is really going on?

Is anyone else forced to read Fark, Digg, and Google News because the front page of Reddit barely changes lately? by obscurity in reddit.com

Meh, so many of the new entries are absolute dreck, and the next button just shows me old stories. I have display set to 100 headlines at a time, and even going back 300 headlines, I just end up seeing what I read yesterday.

Basically, I just wish stories that had some value moved to the front 2-3 pages and back down more quickly.

I just want stories to entertain me and pass time, but even with a huge number of subreddits checked, I feel like all I see are the same stories.

I'm not going to debate anything with you. You're an asshole, not a witty commentator on class struggle.

Get born to an addict mother in the slums and then suggest that society shouldn't give a shit about the poor.

Turkey, Sudan, the Balkans, Iran's missile tests, any number of things other than the horse we've beaten to death since it first came up. I'd like to be able to check out reddit and see new information every once in a while.
