Peter Thiel Has Been Secretly Funding Hulk Hogan's Lawsuits Against Gawker

Thiel believes that out-of-control political correctness and character shaming will ultimately degrade the quality of rational discussion and debate in this country.

If Venture Capital is needed to properly fill a lawsuit and increase the chances of winning, the bigger news isn't that the justice system is behaving like a market?

Yes, two major discussion, and dozens of submissions that have been killed.

Flag this post, it'll get dead'd off the front page soon enough.

Are the comments here of less value than the ones on those submissions that already have more discussion? Maybe you think they are, maybe I think they are, but who are we to decide?

How many times is this going to be posted? Good for Peter Thiel and Hulk Hogan.
