Suggestion: Ban Opinions In Current Affairs, Turn It Into A News Area

[MaXenzie]

Turn it into a news outlet-esque thing, without everything looping around into fucking religion/abortion/communism/capitalism debates every time

You post current shit that's happening there, and people update it with new sources or events

please because i cant look at the fucking thing without getting angry

 

[Kafe]

only possible if replies are disabled, even then near impossible
remove it completely, problem solved.

its good to have containment threads

or would you rather have it spill into all other parts of the forums

just don't click the threads if you don't want to see it, you at least know where it is currently so you can avoid it

tfw its only 2/3 people who cause the issues and its mainly between themselves

there's hope for the rest of us

It's like that one law stating that the longer a thread goes the higher the probability Hitler will eventually get mentioned. It's basically just inevitable arguments are going to happen and frankly I find them enjoyable

If you genuinely just want current events just go watch the news

Fair enough, but there are still some reputable online news sources

 

[swagile]

current affairs is like the meme thread

a necessary evil to contain all of the autism into one area

otherwise it will spill everywhere else

 

[Jer]

But I enjoy za debate threads

 

[tera]

[mert]

[Akula]

permaban (((those two people)))

[JohnLugo]

I'd reccomend the BBC or Guardian. The guardian is slightly left bias but very accurate. They found the wind rush scandal etc etc. They're one of the best investigative journalists. BBC just reports shit and they're pretty un-bias.

bro you do realize that all media outlets are owned by the bourjois bourgeoisie

Guardian and BBC aren't, although you could quite easily claim that the BBC either with the 4th branch of the government or follows the idea of Manufactered consent.

Guardian, I don't think you could claim that, you could easily claim it with other news outlets in the UK but not the guardian, especially as it relies on donations and is communally run, so no single person runs it.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, to silence peoples opinions is plain wrong. Take it for what it is.

I love my ignore button they've made my Current Affairs experience much better whenever I decide to go in there

sadly i cant see like 90% of the posts but it's worth it
