Fox News has turned off the comment system for all stories except a few science topics. FN commenters were largely vitriolic, Obama-hating and liberal-hating. Is this change a good or bad thing? by pandaflavorin PoliticalDiscussion

Fox, like other media companies, depends on the facade that there's a huge difference between the two parties, so comments to the contrary are bad for business.

This can't be right, because such brazen exploitation of public resources only happens in third world countries.

Massachusetts once had some of the most restrictive birth control laws in the U.S. It was not illegal to use birth control, but exhibiting, selling, prescribing, and providing contraception and even information about contraception were all felonies. This law was not repealed until 1972. (books.google.com)

Why don't nations like Japan and Korea get more flak for not really allowing any immigration, yet when Western countries talk about cutting back, they're often accused of racism? by ferngutsin PoliticalDiscussion

[–]mellowmonk 4 points5 points ago

It's all about expectations.

People have essentially zero expectations toward Japan and Korea when it comes to immigration, so they're always off the radar whenever the topic comes up.

Kind of like how the crazy shut-in on the block never gets any flack for not bringing enough food to the block party.
