Please note.

My edits are not expected to be the norm. Mods will post an in thread request to not get political.

Since this is new I abused my power as an example.
We hope we get the idea that Political discussions end up in the PF. I know this will continue to be a gray area and will be addressed more than a few times.

Thanks for your patience and my lack of such.

Got a link to this from a site other than Infowars?

A link to what site? It was on all the news channels for an instant, then the story broke that they were both refugees taken in by a nice older foster couple. Then the story mysteriously died on the vine, which happens to any story the media wants to die a quiet death. The just don't report on it.

And what is Infowars?

Why not just close a thread like this then, as the topic is inherently political.

BTW, they identified the suspect as a 29 year old Uzbeki national.

We are discussing it.

The gray area involved need some thinking on, by both the USERs and MOD side.

Hopefully my edits pass on an expectation.

Sucks that the mod core are stuck dealing with this bullshit instead of watching the World Series and/or enjoying Halloween.

I think I need to donate again. Tomorrow, as I am hanging with neighbors and slinging candy to kiddos at the moment.

My neighbors are playing creepy music and have a haunted house in their driveway. The sidewalks are full of kids all dressed up. :thumbup

I would like the ability to post about things that are happening as a source of information.

Recently I went through a major disaster and barf was a news source as much as anything else.


Opening a thread like this should, IMO be reserved for talking about facts as they come up, follow up information after the fact, and all the political, biased, bullshit be kept to the private political thread.

Much like Reddit or BBC live threads keep their post to the facts of the incident with the goal of having the most information from all sources and comments are hidden if Barf shared it's resources to post facts, these threads would probably be awesome and very informative about what's going on and not Just the same argument about religion of peace.

Not as fast as I look.

Oh, my god..... Two tasks at once. What will they do? I am watching baseball and posting on barf. And there is candy by the door. OH MY. It's so stressful. :wow


Now, I am confused however, since the perpetrator has been definitely identified as a supporter of a certain terrorist group and from another country. How is mentioning those FACTS a political statement?

Isn't the pothole thread going to be political, because fixing potholes takes tax dollars?

Exactly. I think we can discuss news without the ideology. The fact people jump to Muslims and ISIS is ideology when zero fact are available.

Okay. I can now say the MURDERER was of a particular religious group, and he did these acts in the name of a particular terrorist group, AND I can mention he was a tag-along immigrant - or NOT?

How about going with,

Reputable news source is reporting that actual official type person had announced that the person is being called a terrorist, not a murderer. He is from _____________ and other factual information that is confirmed and not just from barfer4336784
