I spent a greater part of my life reading Internet comments, here's what I found...
Hopelessly dumb:
Yahoo News, Newswine, Foxnews, CNN, MSNBC (pretty much any news site), Youtube (depends)
- By reading comments from these sites, you will lose all hope for mankind
Dumb but not hopeless:
Cnet, Endgadget, Verge, Facebook...
- It does not speak well for mankind but we still have hope...
OK:
Wired, Washington Post, Huffington Post
Best quality comments:
Slashdot, New York Time
- There is intelligent human out there!

Perhaps we can get CmdrTaco into a forum with more standards, or just do the chat in cryptocat and post the result here.
