It depends on what article your posting on. I usually find that Gawker is worse. If you don't worship liberal agenda, give all your money to the lazy or show any sign of independent thought you get your face smashed in.

I really do loathe the phrase 'liberal agenda'. It's such a weasel phrase . A liberal has an 'agenda' but a conservative has a 'value' or a 'principal', but both have media echo chambers, both participate in elections and both want to see their lawmakers apply their ideals in congress. Am I really supposed to think an 'agenda' is worse than a 'value' when in application they both mean the same thing?
I don't know where you live, but Gawker is headquartered in the United States. We don't 'give all our money to the lazy' here. No one anywhere does that, and no one in any political sphere of influence here advocates for that.
So having the first and one of the most highly recommended comments on an article is what you mean by 'getting your face smashed in'? Or do you mean you would like to offer a dissenting opinion without opposition? Because that last thing is something you aren't going to get on any website. The dismiss button is as close as you can come to that. If you post 'Fuck that ugly POS Miata' on a thread about Miatas, people who don't like that are going to let you know, with varying degrees of courtesy. If considering contrary opinions = extreme physical pain to you, why offer them up for discussion in a place where dissent is highly likely?

I also believe it is a weasel phrase but from my experiences on Gawker it seems appropriate to describe the atmosphere from a good portion of the participants. I gave no indication that conservatives were any better, they as well have there agendas and have had plenty of disagreements with them as well. In application value and agenda can be similar but where value constitutes belief in principles and standards of behavior, an agenda can be had without consideration for those principles. While an an agenda can be based on a persons values, that agenda can tend to stray far and wide from values and beliefs.
I live in the United States in Massachusetts and can say from personal experience that while it may not be the intention of the policy, the execution, oversight and participants of many social programs in the area tend to be done by the lazy and the corrupt leading one such as myself to either call for reform due to corruption or loose faith in the fact that they can be executed at all without being manipulated or taken advantage of.
The cited example is great and all and I am all for a good discussion with opposing trains of thought on any kind of subject matter whether carburetors VS. fuel injection, Left VS Right, Jesus VS Mohamed what have you. I am not talking about mindless internet bashing, my issue comes when you are trying to have that discussion with a group of people that are just there to regurgitate the same things over and over again, instead of mindful discussion with serious consideration of the arguments presented. Your counter post is a great example of the positive and I bet I could have a thoughtful discussion with you regardless of any difference in view. My experiences on Gawker have been far less pleasant, even when my opinion is shared by the majority. The problem really isn't the site itself, rather a problem that can be seen thought the majority of the internet. Personally that is why I avoid commenting on main sites and keep my participation to smaller arenas, not because of a shared mentality and belief, but because of a shared enthusiasm for the subject matter which lends itself to more insightful conversation.
