Top 5 Contradictory Positions of Ron Paul Graham
Come on, you know you want to.
- izak30 19y agoread: linkbait.
- ivankirigin 19y agometa modding
- izak30 19y agook, makes much more sense in context.

- champion 19y agoSort of amusing, but I now associate mentions of Ron Paul with the death (to me) of Reddit.
- Alex3917 19y agoI think I should just start outsourcing all my blog ideas. Here's an assignment for anyone who wants it. Write a 400 word product review. Incorporate the following quote: "They call it the Jesus phone, so naturally I assumed it would have a little bit of Jesus. But after playing with it for a couple days, this phone has significantly more Jesus than even I expected." The title should be as follows: "My iPhone has pretty much replaced my penis as the default thing I reach for when I'm bored" That should probably be good for at least 3,000 Diggs. You could probably even use a markov chain to randomly generate the rest of the text based off previous reviews. I doubt most diggers would be able to tell the difference.
- whacked_new 19y agoI'm amazed that someone actually, and so quickly, took the bait. There is some kind of xkcd comparison to be drawn here, like the chessboard on a roller coaster fad... so apparently you won't need to actively outsource your ideas.
- mhidalgo 19y agoPlease don't start posting Ron Paul links here, I left Reddit for this very reason and now this bs starts here. Why has this been clicked on ?
- ivankirigin 19y agowhy? It is mocking both the slow motion failure of reddit and the tendency for pg fanboys to dominate, for example, comment threads here on any of his essays. It's quite funny, though it wouldn't be 2nd time around.
- mynameishere 19y agoYou left reddit because of Ron Paul? Do you stop reading the New York Times[1] because they shamelessly...shamelessly...hold forth the smoke-filled-room candidates as somehow legitimate? Reddit has these little arrows that can be pressed up and down. The NYT has nothing but its coming bankruptcy to correct it. [1] And every other rag.
- nailer 19y agoWe get the joke. It's just not particularly funny.
- nailer 19y agoThat seems to have struck a chord with someone. I come to news.yc to read about hacking, business, and related topics. I came to Digg to read about technology, and reddit to read about, well progressive things from a variety of areas. The decline of reddit and digg was marked by many front page posts concerning reddit or digg themselves. I hope the decline of news.yc is not marked by many front page posts concerning news.yc itself. I don't visit news.yc because I'm interested in news.yc - I'm interested, oddly enough, in Hacker news (with a business bent). Then again, I fear that may have already happened - a post on news.yc on an article about 'hackers', that criticized the Morris worm was modded into oblivion for no other reason than Robert Morris later went on to found yc - though Robert himself has publicly expressed remorse for releasing said worm. It seems news.yc is suffering from the cult of personality.
- nostrademons 19y agohttp://www.shirky.com/writings/group_enemy.html http://www.shirky.com/writings/group_enemy.html We're at #3 - religious veneration. We don't really have #2 yet (vilification of outside enemies), though we could get that pretty yet. I haven't seen much #1 (sex talk) yet, thoug Alex's comment of "My iPhone has replaced my penis as the default thing I reach for when I'm bored" might flirt with that.
- michaelneale 19y agoDamn. I didn't read the "Ron" bit. Yes, ok its funny, but no more.
- tlrobinson 19y agoSo are we taking this to the next level or not? Where's the Reddit/Digg buttons?
- run4yourlives 19y ago43 points? Damn you Paul for "Hacker News"!
