    For me its a straight shoot out between the DM and Youtube.

    Poll included, Jaguar optional.

    No option for the journal?

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Any middle aged woman or halfwit on Facebook who comments "Amen" on a picture of a diseased or mangled child that's accompanied by the text "your prayer helps, don't scroll past without typing Amen."

    That's a good call, but it's a bit of a DM wannabe in a way.

    YouTube & TheJournal are standouts....

    Special mention to the Independent.co.uk

    I have to confess I've never actually read the comment section of the DM. I can only imagine what goes on there.

    Its not that bad..... there are worse.

    I find comment sections hosted through 'Disqus' can be pretty awful for vitriol as they require no signup & are anonymous.

    I honestly try not to read any comments section anywhere....always advanced muppetry at play.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    People actually read the comments section :confused:

    It's just full of trolls and spam

    The BBC website comments section is pretty negative. To protect itself the BBC only allows comments on mostly obscure topics but the comments are so negative and jingoistic.

    Sky News website was pretty bad but now it seems they got rid of comments altogether.

    YouTube by a country mile.

    Although you get some right pricks in The Guardian comment sections too. Is there anything more pointless than taking to a newspaper comments section to upbraid a paid journalist for their style of writing or insight?

    I currently earn around $6k-$8k every month from freelancing at home. For" those of you who are prepared to complete basic online jobs for 2-5 hrs a day from your home and earn decent paycheck while doing it... This is an opportunity for you...

    Has anyone ever tried the comments on a WorldStarHipHop.com video?

    They are a real eye opener.

    Coppinger's Facebook page never disappoints.

    During a discussion on the 13 billion, one loon said it should be used to build houses because "houses=jobs".

    I think we tried that in the not too distant past...

    The IMDB movie comments are regularly high order guff. This, coupled with an awkward navigation system, and my inability to stop reading the damn things after watching a movie, mean that they rank highly on my top worst comments sections.

    You will reach a stage in your life when you no longer feel compelled to read comment sections. This is one of the finer landmarks in life.
