• How to live with the Facebook Timeline (because you have no choice)

  Wed Jan 25, 2012
  • I love all these "I'm leaving Facebook" comments. Even better are the holier-than-thou "I just use email and the telephone" posters.

• Nuclear killing: Is West waging 'covert war' against Iran?

  • Kevin, it's pretty easy for you to argue semantics in what Ahmadinejad said. The Israelis have to take what he said at face value, as would you if someone made a threat to your very existence. If Ahmadinejad is trying to make a subtle distinction, he picked the wrong country.

• Nuclear killing: Is West waging 'covert war' against Iran?

  Wed Jan 11, 2012
  • Made it all the way to the 15th comment thread before that "Israel did 9/11" nonsense made an appearance. I guess that's progress. Hey RalphH: Even the loonies in the Truther community reject the garbage you're spewing.

• Opportunities, dangers ahead as world weighs impact of Kim Jong Il's death

  • Thanks for your insight, Chris. It's nice to read comments from someone who's actually informed for a change. Usually, I read the comments here on Newsvine and fear for the future of our species.

  • A communist? What? Who calls anyone a "communist" any more? Even the communists aren't communist these days.

• Mom of missing tot: Cops said 'You did it'

  Fri Oct 7, 2011
  • How about we wait for a fact or two before we start condemning the parents? I hope like crazy they are NOT involved. And, since I cannot begin to imagine the stress they are under (esp if they didn't do anything), I will continue to give them all the latitude in the world.

• Who is occupying Wall Street? Not just your average Joe

  Thu Oct 6, 2011
  • America was built on capitalism, you say? Well, sort of. Capitalism, as it's come to be defined, consisting of huge corporations and a super-rich elite, didn't exist in the 18th century.

• Insider out: One man's journey from the front office to Wall St. 'Occupier'

  Wed Oct 5, 2011
  • yadda - Unfettered capitalism gives you John D Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and Cornelius Vanderbilt. Huge monopolies, no protection for the worker or the consumer, pollution, and an American royal class. Any of that sound good to you?
