Digg.com is a great repository for news, mostly because anyone can submit something, and the active userbase decides what makes the front page. The problem is, however, that the people who make up the active userbase are for the most part either 1) Retarted, 2) Ignorant, or 3) both.

I mean, there is no attempt at maintaining any political balance. It is simply people forcing their views on people, and alot of the times it works, creating more people who don’t know what they’re talking about.

I get it when someone posts something that tears apart something, like say, a Bush administration policy choice. I really do, and if it’s an informed opinion that’s awesome, all the more for it. My problem comes when I see something along the lines of ‘Bush(and/or Cheney) is retarted’. I would doubt that any president has ever been elected that had an IQ of under 140, they’re smart people, likely smarter than the people attempting to bash them.

So please, do me a favor and stop posting poorly researched, ill-conceived political opinions on Digg.com, if there’s one thing the world doesn’t need, it’s another anchor around the neck of the impressionable youth.

Also, I’m well aware that this thread is inviting a serious flaming, and I will address any informed, well assembled arguments. And if you wouldn’t mind digging this… (Oh, the irony.)
