QBN needs a terrorism thread... or fewer users who seem to enjoy sensationalizing it at least

I see no issue having a thread when there is an international tragedy / new story in-the-making.
If you find it 'sensationalizing' to discuss / form a thread where info on a major current event can be gathered in one place... then you're an imbecile.

- the information you are gathering is useless to those consuming it here other than to get caught up in a feelingimbecile

your discussions on terrorism are moot.
none of you offer solutions, none of you CAN offer solutions.
you simply argue and bemoan those that do not agree with your current stance.
there are literally no meaningful discussions on the topic.
posting a terrorism thread on qbn is the equivalent of changing your facebook profile pic.
literally nothing comes of a terrorism thread on qbn besides that feel good feeling of "fuck the bad man, they're bad"

this place is better suited for the show some recent work or WTF threads
- downvoted because fuck you, i'm right.imbecile
- keep living up to your name, dude...
THERE IS NOOOO HOPE!!!PonyBoy - not really discussion is it - more a feed of what is happening - this place has always done this... weird you give a shit about that during such a tragedy.fadein11
- the only tragedy here is believing you add anything of merit or use to the discussionimbecile

These threads are a good source of information on breaking news. A place to see links from users all over the world apart from our Facebook feeds, or one specific media source. Some QBN users could actually be reporting from NIce which is a good thing. Whats the big deal?

Ban religion.
- hear hearPonyBoy
- It's not Religion. You cant just brush this horror under one word.
Corrupt politics has started this path - we ban politics as well?mugwart - religious intolerance is quite the fad with you stupid little fucks isn't itterry_cloth
- it's not intolerance... just tired of people killing in the name of their 'god'PonyBoy
- Banning religion will just make it more desirable. Look at drugs. Just go medieval on their asses and wipe them all.Maaku

Another win for Trump
- sadlyhotroddy
- Could be spun as a Win for Hillary too.
Hillary could say: "Do you really want a man like Trump representing us during a time of Intnat'l tragedy like Nice?"PonyBoy - yep. the more afraid people will be the more vote Trump will get. And he will put all the World at war if he becomes PresBennn
- regardless—whomever spins it their way for political purposes is a twat—and they'll both spin it (cuz they're both twats... and not in the misogynistic way)PonyBoy
- Bodies not even cold and you're trying to to spin this atrocity for political reasons? What a bunch of assholes, Fuck off!Cactus
- the world is at war.IRNlun6
- it's no secret this will have political repercussions. I'm sorry if that's an insensitive point of viewhotroddy
- This kind of post is exactly what the imbecile was talking about. You should be ashamed of yourself trivializing this tragedy with your dumb fuck political leanterry_cloth

- you're buddy Trump is the first one guilty of thishotroddy
- terry, that's why I get so upset when yuri does this outside the politics threadmonospaced

Threads like this are useful here, we often have more infos, and faster than traditional news websites.

@imbecile: French news where still showing articles about the World Cup and other news. I saw the news of the attack first on Facebook, and checked here to have more infos.
Nothing to do with sensationalizing.

I agree that sensationalizing things just gives the thug what they want. However, it's important that we know what's going on and, personally, I'd rather find a diversity of opinions here, from all over the world (not to mention some anonymity so people can comment freely) vs. Facebook. I don't go reading news sites and I don't have cable tv.
As long as people are discussing, which they usually are, this is a productive place and a "real" discussion, or as real as it can possibly be.
Now, for the negative sensationalizing, that's all on the media and pay-per-click model, "custom" tailored feeds that pump people full of only their view, etc. You want to blame someone, go blame Facebook (and soon others) for their Live video - that is going to give so many ample reason to go out with a horrible bang, as long as the world sees.

- I sometimes wonder what would result if the media never reported on things like this.monospaced
- I don't think it's a matter of whether to report on it or not but how it's reported. The media is just giving us what we want, when we stop consuming the sensatterry_cloth
