Request: New Forum: Current Events

☆☆☆ · 03-19-2008, 04:50 PM

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.

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

Oh, thank you.

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

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.
