I'm amazingly addicted to it. I've never liked rollercoasters, I don't get why anyone gets that peculiar perverse pleasure from something that makes you sick and terrifies you, but having become hooked on this website, I'm slowly starting to see the pleasure of them; reading those comments made me stomach feel all knotted and my heart sink that real people are out there making them, but at the same time I just can't resist reading the next one.
What's really worrying is that I posted a comment there myself about the Carol Thatcher/Golliwog thing as "Dave from London" saying that Thatcher deserved to be sacked as regardless how harmless golliwogs might have seemed when she was growing up, you must know that some connotations have grown up around them and it's not acceptable to describe a person by comparing them to one. Last time I checked I had 28 red thumbs down from Daily Mail site readers.
Alternatively, I got a frankly terrifying 56 green thumbs up when I posted as "Steve from Hull" saying that "Carol Thatcher hailed from a simpler time when it was acceptable for black people to be openly pilloried, and it is OUTRAGEOUS that the politically correct brigade have stuck their noses in AGAIN and ended someone's career merely for harking back to those days which were, obviously, a golden age that we've long since forgotten." Astonishing. xx
