Most of the comments under every Vice News video seem to be either trolls, or some form of hatred. If anyone at Vice ever reads this, I just wanna say thanks for doing what you do, I appreciate the content.

I predict space ships under the pyramids in mexico.

I will tell Vice this because the person that told me this is a native to the Mayans. There is believed to be another Temple over El Castillo. I visited Chichen Itza back in 2008. We didn't have a typical tour guide. We befriended a native from the lands and told us that archaeologist we're starting to dig under the pyramids and indeed found more to the pyramid. No one has to believe me but you heard it hear first. This is old news to me.

You guys do realize that on certain apps if you VOTE on any comment, you can see who voted for it? So all of you people who upvote ignorant comments think you can get your hateful opinion read without being held responsible for it.... you're wrong.

I pray for the Islamic minority in Myanmar that they may have the universal right to peacefully practice a religion free from persecution.
