We all like to share our opinions. The United States was founded on this idea, and the founders wanted these opinions to be freely shared. It is because of this that we have the right to disagree, and it is the reason why I can write this blog that you are reading right now.
Comments are useful as it allows us to give back to a news story in a way as well as view the reactions of others in the voyeuristic behavior that is customary of the Western World in this age, but how many times has an intelligent conversation or argument been derailed by a comment that is equally ignorant or vulgar? These sort of postings can turn even the story of the death of a person into a degenerating skirmish of demeaning insults and swear words.
In the end, the benefit of the ability to share one's point of view by commenting on news stories far outweighs the occasional punk on the Internet who decides to go and ruin it for everyone else.
To quote an oldie: "Don't let one bad apple ruin the bunch."
