What would happen if we killed off BBC Have Your Say?
- robak 17y agoThe thing I like the most about BBC is how they have people from different ethnic backgrounds all having opinions as if they were White American middle-class US military adventures supporters. Watching some of them - especially of Arab origin while reporting from Palestine - is almost like watching Jews giving pro-Nazi reports from Aushwitz. So much fun! And if you feel offended by this comment Mr/Mrs "Land of the Free" go read your f*ing 1st Amendment at last!
- almost 17y agoBloggers often seem to have this attitude that having a blog is a great thing that everyone should aspire to. They then go on to think of reasons why the "average man" doesn't have a blog. Things like "Lack of time" and "Lack technical ability". Maybe a lot of people just don't want one and would have no use for one if they did? If you've got interesting things to say and you enjoy writing and publishing articles then great, maybe a blog is right for you, but I think those two (orthogonal, I think) things rule out a large amount of people. Don't look down on others just because they don't share your interests. There are already far more bloggers then people who care enough to read them. Twitter seems to be trying to help this by reducing "blog posts" to single sentences and in the process strips them of even the possibility of depth or interest (just my own opinion here, don't get too offended :p ) Posting on a comments section is a very different from publishing an article on your blog. I don't think the one is merely a easier version of the other. That being said, BBC HYS is hilariously bad, but what do you expect from such a public and popular place? A least it's not as bad as the Daily Mail's HYS :p
