Is “science” clearing the playing field for action to be taken?

For the children…?

    Are online users more immoral than other people?

    Well, they’re certainly more moral than “journalists”.

    So if I get my news and information from succinct, pithy online news and opinion sources, that makes me less moral than someone inculcated by . . . what, exactly? Seseme Street? School House Rock?

    I think the (supposed) point of that story is that if you get information in a format that doesn’t allow your heartstrings to be tugged, you’re amoral.

    Which is as much an indictment of anything in “journalism” as anything I’ve ever seen, read, or heard.

    Place it on its side and its a symbol meaning you need more government oversight.

    Reading that article hurt my brain.

    I thought one was supposed to get that “experimental writing” stuff out of their systems as first-year college students or something like that. Meh.

    Anyway, if there was an attempt to make a point in that, it failed.

    I read the thing. Not the stupid blog thing. That was stupid. The “study” thing.

    Possibly ironically, it’s a pile of disjointed shards of therapy (not psychology) jargon and half-made points. The pertinent one (maybe) is that it (sort of) pins immorality on a failure to admire. I’ll resist screeding about that, because you guys are too immoral to read it, but this part was funny:

    From President Obama [....] to foster kids down the block, stories abound of individuals who have transcended their situations because of admiration for a key person in their lives.

    So true.

    Charming silver-spoon Harvard legacy admit’s externally engineered attachment to silver-spoon terrorist trying to put the kid’s charm to use in local machine politics accidentally makes him President.

    Just like those “foster kids down the block.”

    The same foster kids who can no longer attend private school in D.C.

    Barack Obama hasn’t transcended dick. He’s the same dirty socialist Chicago street trash piece of shit he always was and he’s an apple what didn’t fall far at all from his drunk loser marxist daddy what never loved him.

    Well, they certainly do tend to have much more and dangerous intercourse. Eureka!

    The comparison of Obama — who grew up in Hawaii in the care of bank executives, attended private schools, etc. — to children who actually have a rough time in their lives is disgusting.

    But, hell, when you live in the Cult of the Victim…

    Ah, the University of Stupid Cocksuckers. This explains much.

    So I guess this applies to the DU, HuffPo, and Kos kiddies too, right? Or is it more aligned with the DHS report that says wingnutz are a threat to national security?

    effin pathetic…

    But, so is the L.A. Times…

    Don’t things like this make you wish these researchers’ parents had used some of the school’s mascots?

    heartstrings? what are these heartstrings you speak of? i’m fairly certain i have none. maybe they were removed when i was a baby and i don’t remember. or maybe i do have some. they may even be around here somewhere, maybe behind the couch or in the back of the hall closet someplace. and if i do have some, and if i did why should i tell you huh, i would never allow some mendouchious media twats to pull on ‘em. or to pull on anything else of mine either.

    also, no thanks sir for making me read that appalling train wreck of a poem. not a big fan of blank verse. excepting the works of mr. pdbuttons, of course. now please to be passing me the brain bleach. kthxbai

    The only certainty in this is that a “study” like this would never have seen the light of funding if the left was not worried about the right online.

    What they say doesn’t matter or mean anything. What they do, fund, and publicize is what has to be watched. If the right was ineffective online there wouldn’t have been this “study” to begin with.
