- davidw 17y agoI think you need to make a choice between having political articles (which this is, essentially) and polite, rational discussions. I have seen very few examples of both coexisting for long on the internet. They're not that bad here, yet, but how long will it be?
- blhack 17y agoI think there are a enough programming articles here that it will keep most of the mouth-foaming politics-fans away. At least I hope.
- DanielBMarkham 17y agoIt's a diary entry by somebody with political opinions, not a political article. The difference is that nobody is espousing a certain point of view, trying to convince me to do something-or-another, telling me how one party is good/bad, telling me how some policy is great or awful, or convincing me that some political change must take place. Keep up the crusade against political articles if you must, but let's not throw away the fact that normal people have opinions, okay? I like people with opinions, even those I don't agree with.
- scott_s 17y agoWhether it is a "political article" or an article that talks mostly about politics is not a relevant distinction to davidw's point.
- davidw 17y agoEveryone has opinions on politics, and the internet is full of people expressing them. There are relatively fewer sites with people expressing their opinions on startups and hacking. If he's not 'espousing a certain point of view', I have some Paul Krugman columns to sell you;-)
