Request: New Forum: Current Events
 

Mayne a new forum could be "current events" in Life & The Arts. This forum would be used to discuss events happening around the word. From small-town news to international information, this forum could be interesting to everyone.

Reccommended format:

Topic starter: Insert news article about event.
Replies: Discussion of that event.

Thanks. :D

You can generally do stuff like this in Critical Thinking, since so many events are heavily debatable.

Oh, thank you. :D

chit chat or CT, depending on the level of discussion.

Re: Request: New Forum: Current Events
 

Most often chit chat. It takes a very specific kind of current event to be valid CT posting.

I would say that an event is NEVER grounds for a CT thread, although it can spark a topic. Example: you wouldn't make a CT thread about the Spitzer prostitution scandal, but the topic could spark a discussion on things such as the nature of our politicians to be hypocritical and the effect that this has on society.
