New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.

rollzone, I think you’re on to something. Given the dismal state of our educational system, we have a great opportunity here to make math relevant to students, especially drop-outs, everywhere. Maybe a story problem: If it costs two hand jobs to purchase 10 cigarettes, how many hand jobs are needed for 15 cigarettes?

hello. to be clear, if i show up as a visitor with a
case of cigarettes, i leave owning ten bitches for one
week? or 1 light smoker for 2 1/2 months? 5 cases gets
me a year? 5 cases of cigarettes buys me a year of
sodomy and anal intercourse, or is the combination also
negotiable? compared with the costs of street sex ...
does the warden cost a case for conjugacy? could i
bring in a bus load of customers? ..pimpin the tobacco
into serious salads (Benjamins). what about cigars?
