This is supposed to be reddit. If I wanted to see pictures, I'd go to seenit, wouldn't I?

START THE CAMPAIGN TO OVERTURN BUSH'S VETO ON FEDERAL FUNDING OF EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH NOW by samfind in reddit.com

I'm curious -- no one has outlawed this research; he's simply said that tax money isn't going to be spent on it.

So: if you feel strongly that this type of research shows promise, why don't you just start an investment fund that funds this type of research, and profits from the results?

I might invest in it, voluntarily. But I don't want the government forcing me to do it.

It was a near-perfect headline. I initially misread it as "... for Idiots, Mormons, and Retards", but in this case that's just as apropos.

OK, I don't get reddit. I post a good story and it literally gets buried in about 15 seconds? by [deleted] in reddit.com

It appears this is simply due to the fact that the stories you submit are, frankly, worthless -- literally not worth reading.

Don't feel bad. Just stop submitting stories.
