Pretty much every piece of really significant world news gets discussed here, no matter what the topic. I find that fine, as long as the bar is high enough that it's not all the time.
- siavosh 16y agoAgreed, it actually makes me feel proud that this community is so well rounded...unlike a lot of other fields.
- zeteo 16y agoThis community is not supposed to be "well rounded". I think you're looking for Digg and Reddit.
- robryan 16y agoIf the community doesn't want this here then why does it have nearly 100 up votes in under an hour?
- zeteo 16y agoHave you stopped beating your wife?
- genieyclo 16y agoFor the downvoters, zeteo is referencing a logical fallacy used by the parent comment to his: http://www.fallacyfiles.org/loadques.html http://www.fallacyfiles.org/loadques.html
- jbooth 16y agoIt's not a loaded question, it's a statement of fact "100 upvotes", implied conclusion "community wants this", and invitation to provide alternative explanation "question mark".
- zeteo 16y agoIt's loaded because it sets up and destroys a straw man. The great-great-great-grandparent never argued that the community doesn't want this, only that it's not supposed to.
