Ah. Now I know why I'm blocked on MSN. Thanks confused12_1966, you solved my question. I was blocked by Fkg Facebook because they didn't like a comment I made so that's why MSN is being blocked too. Tell me, what news source did you find that isn't in bed with facebook?
Pardon me for chiming in, but I can comment on Yahoo stories without having to join Facebook. I simply have to be logged in to My Yahoo home page, and I can comment on any Yahoo stories I want. I just rechecked it this morning, because I rarely comment on news stories on news websites.
That's because when I really want to comment on news stories, and join in some lively discussions, I head over to Fark.com. They have sections for news, politics, sports, entertainment, and even a "geek" section for like-minded individuals to discuss all things geek, whether tech or fandom. Joining Facebook isn't required, and membership is free, though they do have a $5/month premium service that offers more options.
