Sometimes i feel like they're the same thing. - MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -5/+144I bet this guy is also tempted to go right...

- browwiw, on 10/10/2007, -2/+54Shouldn't the arrows be pointing in the same direction?
- KidVicious, on 10/10/2007, -1/+52All I want is to be a monkey of moderate intelligence who wears a suit.
That's why I've transferred to business school!
/futurama - geoken, on 10/10/2007, -0/+37How could yo not be tempted to go right. There are few things on the planet that I'd imagine are cooler than Gorilla World.
- browwiw, on 10/10/2007, -2/+33Yeah, reading the comments to that pic I am reminded why I wish every forum had a digg up and down system. Sometimes I can only show my disdain with the purity of a thumbsdown.
- tacotruck08, on 10/10/2007, -1/+28DIGG NEEDS A PICTURE SECTION
- Protoss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15It's most likely a loop, so the roads are actually one in the same, meeting in the middle....
- browwiw, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16Don't you talk ***** about primates like that.
- tennesseepos, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12My office is a zoo. I wouldn't even need to go right.
- browwiw, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10But are you ambi-curious?
- joemofo214, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9congratulations, you just took someones comment and twisted around
are you carlos mencia by any chance?? - blitzer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10I cant turn left.. I am not an ambi-turner
- tehpwnrate, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10I'll bury you for burying him for replying to his own comment.
- neel360, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Hey, at least it's not both...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR71GnQ4CU4 - pastasauce, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9The reason why it's getting buried is because of it's lack of relevance to this article. Make it a gorilla.
- dylanwhat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6We can tell.
- Protoss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6AMEN!
- comradeTJH, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I got your point.
- maexus, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Isn't that democracy at work. People's opinions dictating an outcome without and sort of shaping or influence? Now, the problem you may have been addressing is the fact that most people don't say what's really on their minds out of fear. Well, that's another subject all together and honestly, don't that I doubt can be worked out on the comment system of Digg. ;)
- Nick22, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4If you insist on seeing everything as left and right wing, then yes this could be political
- Nicko9y, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5good?
http://graperape.ytmnd.com/ - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4How about Gorillas with Guns World?
- chubbybubba, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3i now realize that somewhere in my past I have indeed gone right. my only hope is that with 3 more rights i'll be heading out the other way.
- nVoy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3You're dumb for implying that.
- cdtoad, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Lets say your to the far right of Gorilla World... both signs point the same way.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Hey, I know him!
- wawilli, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Gorilla world would be great! I could scratch myself all day and no one would complain!
- rwtf91, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3well..
Every morning I piss excellence :) - nakani, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Aren't we already there?
- tehpwnrate, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I'm lolling. Why is that considered NSFW? It's definitely SFW--as long as your boss is okay with gorillas.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"Code Monkey get up get coffee,
Code Monkey go to job..." - rhinopig, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Interesting points, however digg is still a democracy (something can be a democracy and fascism. Hitler was elected after all). Democracy really isn't about the individual, but the mass opinion. Thats why most democracies have some sort of arbiters (judges, moderators, admins) to prevent the system from ending up in mob rule.
Besides, I hardly think being able to digg someone below a viewing threshold is the same as controlling information or opinions and fascist. Especially given that you can set your own viewing threshold so that you see all comments. Narcissism is ironically one of the reasons some Islamic fundamentalist want to do away with democracy in there countries. They think it makes politicians put themselves above god.
Point being, what your bring up are problems with all democracy, not just digg, and ultimately I think it's encourages a more mature community. I've made alot of dumb post in my life, but rarely am I able to see what others think of the post. Anyway, democracy in general has ALOT of problems, but it does more good than harm. (or "It's the worst form of government except all the others") - GrantTheGr8, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Probably because it has the word "rape" in the address.
- po43292, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2They are often the same.
- HalfBrian, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1A+ for the "If Business Meetings were Internet Comments" reference
- thesutex, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1who cares if its PS´ed? its still just as cool as the real deal
- w00kiekrisp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1NASCAR drivers...
- Goombellaofgoom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Gorillas aren't monkeys. Monkeys aren't gorillas. They're both a kind of ape, though.
- Goombellaofgoom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Don't feel bad, wattznext. Most diggers just can't appreciate humor that takes a couple seconds' thought.
- mrdorian, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I'm learning English, the following is what i found in dictionary:
Two traditions of exploration come together in the history of the word gorilla, which also illustrates how knowledge of the classics has influenced scientific terminology.Dr. Thomas S. Savage, an American missionary to western Africa,first described the gorilla in 1847, giving it the New Latin name Troglodytes gorilla. In doing so he was using his knowledge of Greek literature,in which there exists a fourth-century b.c. translation of a report written by Hanno, another visitor to western Africa. This Carthaginian navigator,who voyaged before 480b.c. , went as far as Sierra Leone in his explorations.In the Greek translation of his reporthe tells of seeingGorillai, the name of which he allegedly learned from local informantsand which he thought were members of a tribe of hairy women.In fact they were probably the same creatures that Thomas Savage described about 24 centuries later. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2where am I?.. how did I get here?
- geoken, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You got me.
Gorillas with Lasers World would also be pretty cool. - pwarbo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0But I'd rather go to the right...
- carnag3aus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Offbeat news... Not tempted to put this in the picture section? Oh right...
- paulisnotdead, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1yeah but the majority is far left, people here, digg what they like,but will also consider other opinions, if you state a valid opinion that has been fact checked and is opposite the far left opinion we most likely won't digg you down unless you are offensive, and anyway almost every site on the interblags is like what you said (case in point yahoo answers *shudders*)
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1left is downtown LA, right is Compton
/sorry - CapnJef, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Here in gorilla world, we enjoy such things as picking lice from eachothers' backs and beating our chests.
It really beats the hell out of office work. -
