    Your comment contributes nothing of value.

    Why should I give more of a shit about your argument than you do? You can’t be bothered to explain what your assertion is, but I’m supposed to go “educate” myself? Even if it was reasonable for me to drop everything to go do research on a topic to figure out what your point is supposed to be, there’s no way for me to ever know that I found the specific thing you’re talking about.

      It’s not my job to fill in the gaps of your education, Internet stranger.

      Maybe that’s your problem, you’re going to internet forums to learn new things.

        But it is your job to post this shit?

        And I like to learn new things wherever I go. I would think that a lot of people browsing the news and politics sections of a link sharing site would be hoping to learn something. And the comments are often full of additional information which can be quite valuable.

        Of course, not everyone is interested in engaging in discussion and the free exchange of ideas. Some people just get off on petty bickering and being assholes to others. And you’ve managed to distill that into its purest form, removing any actual content from the argument and leaving only the hostility and smug sense of superiority.

        “You’re wrong!”

        “About what?”

        “Oh, wouldn’t you like to know…”

        We’re here in the great information orgy, and you’re just staring in a mirror jacking off.

          Pardon?

          So I can only post things if I’m being paid for it? You seem confused…
