the first headline i see under general is always "man decapitates wife" or "guy decapitates bus mate" or "father beats child and murders over xbox" "guy decapitated by rollercoaster" "shooter kills 2 and wounds 7" "nun torn to shred by jaguars" "man commits suicide with ps3 controller" "woman throws acid in husband's eyes" then to the milder "man sues company for doing something heinous" "company sues man for doing something heinous" "monastery sues local zoo" blah blah blah whatever piece of useless news information that we're supposed to acknowledge and give our 2 cents on and then never think about ever again

do we even need to know?

It would be cool if interesting news articles could be posted in a different section. I don't watch/read news much, so tidbits on TL are nice. But I agree they are unwelcome in the general forum.

Some of them can be somewhat interesting, but I do agree with you that it gets annoying after seeing it several times.

There have been 3 murders in my suburb/town thing in like 5 years. The local news every day has a headline about murder. It pisses me the fuck off.

I think if people limited it to very serious news (the kinda stuff heard/seen around the world) or things that would actually generate discussion, then it would be okay, even if there was still a fair bit of news being posted. But yeah it gets annoying seeing over and over again "Man eats children" followed by 300 posts of "Wow what is the world coming to" with no real discussion.

I like discussion over important current events (usually).
But people don't seem to post those much.

Word.

They provide no grounds for decent arguments, productive conversations, or anything to build on. Its always, "wow that's fucked up," rhetorics and sometimes it gets derailed to national/religious/e-penis conflicts. Fuck em'.

I'm with micronesia on this one. If the news is important or will stimulate discussion, then it is okay. But i'm getting sick of all these depressing stories being posted followed by hundreds of "fuck that guy" posts, one "this guy is my hero" post, and the rest being "ban that fag".

I think any news story for which all the typical responses can be predicted should not be posted. News stories should be posted only in hope of creating a meaningful discussion.

- if there is some thought or decent presentation behind an opening post, let it go man : ) -
- stop this, stop that, this not allowed, that not allowed etc... next thing u know the general forum is not only the usual bullshit, but it's boring bullshit, i.e an inactive forum full of old stuffy threads that don't challenge a single neuron..
- in my humble opinion quit worrying about threads ur not interested in the first place, just don't click on them or close them as fast as u clicked them.
- I rather have an active general forum were people don't have to be self censoring themselves constantly about everything even if it is at the expense one extra threads I can just as easily ignore..

some of it is dumb but what are you looking for in the general forum if no current events?

shit, i stopped looking at my own thread about the serial killers the second i realized how stupid everyone was in reacting to it. it doesnt take much effort to just not look.

that said, if its completely idiotic, close that shit.

hum.. I'd almost go for that : ) or add maybe news of consequence, or actual impact, or useful news etc... but how does one train hordes of retards what is actually happy, useful or of real consequence; I for one would get it wrong half the time.. if it's legal - just ignore is best in most general forums, specialized forums do need draconian moderation to keep everyone in topic but a "general" forum section? nah.. how much more subjects and topics u guys want to get turfed into the blog sections or closed section? 'cause they don't really go away..

It's true though, the news articles are only good for the 1 good pun that comes out of them.

I fully agree, especially since most news articles are posted days after I have already read them on a news site. I dont understand why people who are that far behind on news feel the need to share last weeks stories with us.
