i like to watch and read news and at the bottom of each article there are usually posted comments by its readers. i am sometimes repulsed by some of the comments because they are so ignorant. i really hate it when some readers post whether or not something is actually news. i mean by definition, news is the communication of information of current events. so to say something isn’t news is just not true. then there are some who say that the news item is not relevant. well, one news item may not be relevant to you, but it may be to someone else. so that is just pure ignorance…lol. i’m not saying that there aren’t stupid news items but it is still news and we can’t repute that no matter how ‘irrelevant’ it may be to you. i did notice that most of those comments are posted by bigots..and how do i know that? well…they usually post comments like ‘they need to get jobs’ or some other racist slurs. it is shameful that canada prides itself as a tolerant state but there are still some people out there who are just callow…unaware of the world around them. sad…
