    • Please don't. Do not become numb to this kind of violence by censoring us. I for one haven't watched any of these videos but I want to stay informed.fooler

    • it's about choice man. you can still see the news and pointless argument when you click the thread.pango
    • cool with memonospaced
    • news like this are on all major news sources. really don't need qbn to echo the same thing.pango
    • also you are not likely to change anyone's opinion on qbn. that requires inception.pango
    • also.... really? you come to qbn for shooting of the day thread?pango
    • It's historical international news that I think should be allowed to die-out on it's own... please don't 'over-moderate' during very 'real' life moments... thxPonyBoy
    • it'll wash away quickly, pango... one great 'guess who' and a couple of zinger 'Donald Trump' posts and this place will be back to it's 'classy' self... no?PonyBoy
    • I often hear about "news" on here before major news sources.fooler
    • it also quietly pushing some other uses away. id say let people choose if they want to engage on such an subject.pango
    • Also, the opinions of the QBN community are, for me, a spotlight on valuable perspectives from different cultures/countries.Morning_star
    • but... but...It's people engaging in the subject that's pushing the topic to the top of the cover... people ARE 'choosing' via said engagement... yes?PonyBoy
    • (that was to pango)PonyBoy
    • geez this is turning into gun control situation... thought this was the path of least resistant to solve the trolling and drama issue...pango
    • not advocating for banning or deletion of thread. take politic thread for example. it's not showing up on front page and people are still engaged in that threadpango
    • If it became a daily issue like the politics thread... I'm in full agreement, pango... seems it'll die out like it usually does though... no?PonyBoy
    • I guess I'm saying I don't mind when the site 'switches gears' in tone during a huge international tragedy / disaster / news storyPonyBoy
    • 29 mass shootings in 45 days!! That's bi daily. Can you guys chill?pango
    • The thread didn't bump for 10 days until yesterday... perhaps you need to chill, pango :)PonyBoy
    • (just using your word 'chill' btw... not trying to start shit, man) :)PonyBoy
    • no. you chill!pango

    • i don't want to stand on any side, it's just to much for me to see 8 posts on the front page about this, like watching mainstream media
      ********
    • what is - pardon for saying this - using the an event like this like it's some daily excitement what everybody needs.
      ********
    • ffs—all you guys gotta do is get on your DV kick and kill the posts in mere seconds (you're very good at—I know from experience) :) Alas—you comment and UV...PonyBoy
    • ... as if you're interested in discussing the story.PonyBoy
    • Nahhh down vote doesn't make it go off the cover page. I think it's determent by engagement count.pango
