You know what I do when I don’t like something I see on TV or the internet? I change the fucking channel, or close the tab. I really have no respect for, nor understand why we should listen to, anyone who can’t figure these simple procedures out. Worse yet, those who go to the site are probably enabling them to continue to put up the ‘objectionable’ material. More clicks mean more revenue and the thought that “we must be doing something right as people keep coming here”. So, much like the scab you want to pick at, leave it alone. ---

Did anyone give you this link yet? It’s to 'Turn Off Fox dot Org" [http://turnofffox.org/](http://turnofffox.org/) and they say :"We don’t have to let Fox’s attempts to stoke fear and hate shape our country’s politics and culture. It’s easy to turn off Fox News in our own homes — but when TVs in public places are tuned to Fox, that also spreads fear, division, and misinformation. Turn Off Fox is about ordinary people and small businesses working together to reduce Fox’s influence in their own communities and across the country. " ---

> [@Mr\_Smashy](#): > > This is in the Science and Technology section, something called the Planet Earth series. You’re surprised that they are talking about the mechanics of hurricane development(in the first piece) and steering (in the second piece) instead of the more political less-than-ideal response of the Feds (Republican) and State and Local (Democrat) administrations? > > No shit? Seek help. dumbass, it was a story on the front page and when you clicked the story headline that takes you to the science page, I didn’t FIND it in the sci-tech.. Ever been to a news site before? > [@](#): > > Dob, you’re a moron. Go out for a walk and don’t come back for two or three weeks, please. ?? seems a bit much for not liking Fox, i’m guessing Mrs. Ekers (or Mr. i’m not judging) hasn’t been “attending” to your needs lately? you’re a bit stressed ---

Didn’t you learn in school that it’s not just about getting the right answer? It’s about getting the right answer after doing the math right. If you do the math wrong, and still get the right answer, you flunk. That’s why they made us show our work.
