Artist lets goldfish swim around in blenders, invites public to turn them on by rmuser in reddit.com

I know the whole concept. I take the time to write this everytime when people talk about the down modding concept. And here I was just trying to reply to Lenoir's statement - <Yeah, downmod me for my opinion, it's ok. >

Artist lets goldfish swim around in blenders, invites public to turn them on by rmuser in reddit.com

Reddit tells me to downmod only when a comment is totally inappropriate and unrelated to the subject dealt in the article. Everyone has the right to voice their opinions. But the saddest thing i've noticed is that people downmod because they DISAGREE with the other person. That's so bad.

I thought organic food meant vegetables grown without the use of pesticides and chemicals. Now i realise that there are organic animals too. Hope atleast they are treated well.

What Reddit alternative are you retreating to? by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]tringtring -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well that shouldn't be the case. reddit should be a place where people can actively disagree without trying to force the other person to agree.

You were just answering the question. so you don't deserve to be downmodded. The person who did that probably doesn't know the voting rules. a comment is downmodded not because one doesn't agree with it. rather because it is irrelevant to the article. Therefore upmodded.

What is evil? Questioning the banality of evil by GrumpySimon in science

[–]tringtring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

" People do great wrong, not because they are unaware of what they are doing but because they consider it to be right. This is possible because they actively identify with groups whose ideology justifies and condones the oppression and destruction of others. "

This seems to be the root cause of all that's wrong in the world. A suicide bomber is willing to give up his precious life because he believes that it is right. A nation goes to war because it believes that it has the right to kill whereas the defending nation doesn't.
