First Off

Possibly the best example of a website that may or may not show what people are saying is http://news.aol.com/ . This website posts several current events and reports on them, People then are free to comment on the articles. I have found the comments to have very mixed views. Some of them start with what the article is talking about and trying to address it while stateing thier opinion on the topic. While others satisfy themselves by picking fights with eachother and ignoring the fact there are issues out there. In one article about the missing Nicaraguans after Hurricane Felix. The comments range from people saying there should be more help out there and we are sitting in our plush sofas while there are people in need floating somewhere in the ocean, to "IF PEOPLE GO FISHING, DO FISH GO PEOPLING?". So I have mixed ideas about this website. It both shows people addressing and failing to address the topic.
