Remember when the only safe topic to discuss was the weather? Well, how hard up must one be for an argument to pick a fight with other readers in the comments section on The Weather Channel website? Welcome to America, where hatred spewed about any topic, even potential hurricanes, is justified.

Most of us check The Weather Channel just to see what’s happening or see some often pretty cool videos or pictures. Leaving comments? Why? We can’t change the weather; we can only try to be prepared for it. What’s the use of making comments on a website?
Hmm, must have been a slow comment day on the Todd Akin site, for someone to go ballistic over the weather, LOL
The GOP is hopeful that Hurricane Isaac will take some of the media spotlight off of Romney-Ryan. Politics and storms seem to be common bedfellows.
Some people just want to see their words in print. Unfortunately they like to incite anger, too. If only more people knew how to channel their energies constructively!
My problem with the comment section is that sites either edit any comments that are critical of the site or and this I heard from an unnamed source, some sites actually put comments up under a fake name to incite further arguing thus increasing their reads.
If I ever leave a comment on The Weather Channel website, I’ll run fully clothed through a nudest colony, claiming Bon Jovi lyrics are poetry!
See, now that is logical! How sad is that, that your actions are more logical than these people who argue everywhere?
