Current GD "big news" exceptions: Israel/Palestine, Religion, Guns (3/20/13)

This discussion thread is pinned and locked. It is closed to new replies.

Statement of Purpose for the General Discussion forum:

Discuss politics, issues, and current events. No posts about Israel/Palestine, religion, guns, showbiz, or sports unless there is really big news. No conspiracy theories. No whining about DU.

Status of "big news" exceptions:

Israel/Palestine: President Obama's trip to the Middle East is big news; discussions that are narrowly-focused on the president's visit are permitted in GD. Broad re-hashing of the Arab-Israeli Conflict is not permitted.
 
Religion: The recent selection of a new Catholic Pope is big news; discussion of a broad range of religious topics is currently permitted in GD.
 
Guns: The ongoing national debate over gun laws that has occurred since Sandy Hook is big news; discussion of gun control and related issues is currently permitted in GD. Gun porn, local gun-crime stories, and other narrowly-focused gun topics are not permitted.

Thus far 1,575 primitives have paid attention to this.

You can bet that they don't want gun stories where the criminals were on the receiving end of the gun violence.

Nadin is going to be hardest hit by this. Stand strong Nadin, maybe you can convince $kinner that the 3 person protest at the local grocery store is big news and needs to be in GD where it belongs.

I miss meta, but speaking of Nadin, she's VERY upset about what she perceives as anti-Catholic bigotry and complained to skinhead about it in whatever they call the forum that replaced meta, and got this response:

Bigotry is against the terms of service. Criticizing an organization that teaches bigotry is not against the terms of service. And sometimes it's impossible to draw a line distinguishing between the two.

So, by Skinner's definition, I should be free to criticize the Democrat Party and it's connection to the KKK and Westboro, as well as its current efforts to keep minorities poor.

But still, Skimmer wouldn't dare allow her posts about vacant lot grassfires to go down the memory hole.

DUmpmonkeys criticize the crazy bald dwarf at their own imminent peril.

Skimmer is afraid there'll be a natural disaster and nutcase nadin will refuse to guide the DUmmies to safety.

How else would they have known about all the radioactivity in milk?

Next time you see a DUmp thread about San Diego Ward 4 restaurant health inspection results, you'll know why.

Only if it's a positive criticism. All others will be terminated.
This seems ripe for a certain spirit guide to reveal the ten commandments of liberals.

You know, I love this place. I can post whatever I want and it is either moved to the correct forum (usually the shortbus) or no one replies to it if they are not interested or offended. 

I would hate to be at a forum/place that told me what I could read about or speak about.  Sounds a bit too dicktatorshiplike.

It's the main difference between liberals and conservatives.

If I don't want to eat meat, I won't eat meat. If a liberal doesn't want to eat meat, he'll outlaw meat.

If I don't like a channel, I change the channel. When liberals hate Fox, they petition to get it banned.

There's a lot of primitive screw-ups.

"tow the line," instead of "toe the line."

"reigns of power" instead of "reins of power."

"straightjacket" instead of "straitjacket."

Isn't that interesting. I guess that excludes Nadin from posting any crunchy stories about various gun crimes.

I wonder how this all came about. Is Skimmer just sick of these two topics being re-hashed over, and over again, or did something happen to spark this further stifiling of free speech?
