reddit.com— As much as I love digg, this is pretty funny (and kinda true). Forget Shoutwire, maybe these college kids are the real competition.

The reddit reccomendation engine is s**t. And I am sick of all the anti-American crap as well. I'm moving back to digg. At least I won't have to wade through a bunch of articles from Britain describing how stupid all Americans are just to find a interesting article now and then.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
For those of you doubting that reddit is filled with anti-american sentiment, here is the story which is currently #4 on the site<a class="user" href="http://reddit.com/info/99hq/comments">http://reddit.com/info/99hq/comments</a>Go read the comments. This one typifies the sentiment:"Yeah, voters are so stupid, man. We should have test where you can't vote unless you belong to some organization whose membership requires you to be educated. Then we can make sure those idiots in the red states (because let's be honest, it's Billy Joe Bob in Oklahoma watching Fox News and listening to Rush Limbaugh) never get a chance to vote. Because they're all just dumb rednecks chewing their skoal and fixing up their trailers and showing up on episodes of Cops. "

The article is linking to reddit's frontpage and vice versa. The reddit link was submitted by "k3vin"....

Is anyone else wondering why this isn't on the digg front page? (72 diggs in 4 hrs)

> Right now there are 10 political stories on reddit. Sorry, but I'd rather have a category system like diggV3 has so I can only look at the types of stories that I want.That's why there are sub-reddits:<a class="user" href="http://programming.reddit.com/">http://programming.reddit.com/</a><a class="user" href="http://sub.reddit.com/">http://sub.reddit.com/</a>You don't have to see the political stuff if you don't want to.

BloodyRids, why is it pointless to compare them? Because they're different?

I found this page on reddit, which linked to digg, which linked back to reddit and sadly both were made popular and neither actually pointed to ANYTHING.Just another digg user: <a class="user" href="http://ryanunderdown.com">http://ryanunderdown.com</a>
