Let me give you some snippets of comments added to posts from the last 2 days.

These are taken out of context, possibly to amuse you as is, but really to give me something to put a link on, so you can click back and read. 

1. "He strikes me as a recognisable type: the 19th century equivalent of a trust fund socialist." 

2. "For every 100 people who fly, 100 could die in an airplane crash." 

3. "That's like promising to put a mouse turd into a double batch of oatmeal cookies." 

4. "Of course for the media more riots would be beneficial, more clicks, more exciting footage of burning and looting." 

5. "In our country's current woke status, viewers at home who publicly tolerate homosexuality may be turned off by it in privacy." 

6. "Having lived my entire 62 years in New York, I have been waiting patiently for my turn to be insulted over my ethnicity, and now I finally have gotten my chance. Thank you!" 

7. "If you tell people they can't smoke and, on top of that, decrease the acceptable level of alcohol to a point that if they have more than a beer or two they risk a DUI, they stay home." 

8. "I think having comments resulted in your being more interested in starting a conversation and less likely to give an opinion, and it's that opinion I prefer to read." 

9. "I remember one piece that had Maria Callas appearing on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand with the in-studio teen audience obliviously boogying to Callas’s aria." 

10. "My mother did pro bono work for the ACLU getting restrictive covenants removed in Tompkins County.... I don’t recall Hindus or Chinese ever coming up." 

11. "A fancy restaurant has a level of expected hospitality that is far above that of a cheap diner or a hotdog stand." 

12. "As with abortion, both sides can raise prodigious amounts of money off the threat of Court-packing." 

13. "But if Scranton Joe can point back to his relatively impoverished roots, Vance can make an even better claim."  

14. "Modern man is profoundly out of synch with created order, having seized control of his fertility, sexuality, gender, and genetic material."
