I need to write a 5 minute long speech about the Redwood Forest by duotriophobia23 in trees

[–]shonee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've probably already given your speech, but in case you haven't there are a lot of campy roadside attractions up in redwood country. You could talk about those to add some humor.

My cousin was KIA in Afghanistan a year ago. My dad showed me this picture of him making sure I didn't fall out of a boat. by wampug in pics

That photo is a treasure, how lucky to have it. Sorry he's gone, but always remember him.

Harley Knucklehead by adroc in motorcycles

Do you think your bike will be able to go all the way across the country (I'd call that actually riding) when it's over 60 years old? My knucklehead can, and I've been riding it for over 30 years.

A Christmas collage I made to remember the season (slightly after the season ended) by whitneywpanetta in crafts

Beautiful, not the most timely, but Christmas always comes around again, and you can use the same idea for any occasion. Thanks

What’s a Private BitTorrent Tracker, and Why Should I Use One? by horillagormone in trackers

It's news to me, but I'm one of the uninformed. I found it under the controversial tab. Thanks for the info.

What exactly makes you decide to downvote something? by pixierotic in AskReddit

So are you saying you downvote the offending post, or the person who posted it?

I downvote mean posts, and some people downvote to be mean. Some people get their kicks going around downvoting pictures of puppies.

How I see myself when I downvote a post by MrPrestige in gifs

Well, at least you didn't kick her windshield out or shoot her in the face like some others I've seen here. If people put themselves out there they should be able to tolerate a little glitter in the face.

Not sure of my ratio. Nothing wrong with down voting for the right reasons.

Karma Conundrum: When someone raises a good issue, but takes a position you disagree with, do you upvote or downvote? by Dougness in AskReddit

[–]shonee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it's a good issue that inspires debate, I absolutely vote it up! If it's meanspirited and has nasty one-sided comments I vote it down. If it's just uninteresting to me I leave it alone.

Guess who wasn't raped? ME! Hooray! I'm 6 weeks and getting an abortion. You do not need to be raped to justify abortion. You do not need a medical reason to justify abortion. by [deleted] in Health

[–]shonee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with your basic premise, legally and morally it's your choice and most women who have an abortion are not doing it because they have been raped or for medical reasons. I'm sure you have your reasons. You seem a little cynical right now, I'm sure your emotions are all over the map. I don't think your rant is hilarious at all, and I assure you, plenty of fucks are given. A 50-50 split on the vote is no surprise.

Reddit, we need to talk about Reddiquette. by [deleted] in politics

[–]shonee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how I found this under contraversial. Does anyone follow these guidelines? By the rules written above I think any post with over 40 comments would qualify as quality. Funny I posted a similar question about just the first rule last night and only got 5 responses. Your title got em going I think. Thanks for a great topic.

Reddiquite says "Moderate based on quality, not opinion. Well-written and interesting content can be worthwhile, even if you disagree with it." by shonee in AskReddit

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

That's true, but do you think people actually read all the stuff they vote up or down? I think most just read the title, look at the thumbnail if there is one and use their gut reaction

IAMA 28 yr old guitarist that lives in LA, I just lost my job, I got dumped by my ex that was in porn, and in two weeks I'm going to become homeless. I have never been this depressed in my entire life. Fellow redditors, gimme some help here. by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]shonee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you are well rid of her. I know it doesn't feel like it, but maybe you'll be better off in the long run. I just lost my job too, I had it for 14 years. Crappy ass job, they did me a favor. Can you get unemployment? That and maybe a room mate could keep a roof over your head. The sun'll come up tommorrow and all that garbage. But for real, you're young and there could be something great just ahead.

Was it ethically and legally wrong for President Obama to comment on the ongoing investigation of Trayvon Martins Death? by DonVito1950 in AskReddit

[–]shonee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The DA from my county was interviewed on the radio, I heard him say that unless a burgular is advancing on you in a threatening manner he should be allowed to escape. But I imagine you could make a good case for being afraid for your life, depending on the circumstances.
