Most of the threads inside it are not World Issues (Last I checked vegetarianism was a lifestyle choice) . The rare ones that actually are do not get any attention because... The thing with World Issues is that there is no scope for discussion, because as soon as they are up on the news, they are popular topics for like a second and then no one cares any more.

the only time I ever saw a World Issue being talked about for a decent amount of time was the whole SOPA thing, and even then it turned into a lets all bash the US government thread and now its over, the thdreas are never going to be posted in again.

Basically I just do not get why it exists. The threads the do actually belong there are so few and far between that they dont warrant an entire section.

I'm not going to counter on this here in this topic. I'm against it and pm me if you want to know.

I don't really give a [censored] what you think to be quite honest with you, because your are an arrogant douchebag. Go join a debating society or something, this thread is a place for people to leave their suggestions, and there is mine but as far as I know that does not entail criticising what other people suggest.

edit - that included trying to message me about it to, your sorry excuse for a [censored] stain.

I think the World Issues forum is also a waste of time and space.

How about a compromise? Instead of outright removing the Word Issues section, why not simply remove all the topics which are deemed to be in the wrong place? Yes, it will mean that the section will be much less active, but it will also leave the opportunity for a legitimate world issue topic to be created in a section reserved for such topics.

Jut my two cents.

I find this ironic since you were the one who originally suggested that section. :P
Regardless, you make a good point, but it seems that renaming it makes more sense than deleting. Maybe call it something TLK-related like "Everything The Light Touches" or something.

The point of this being public is so you can counter on this topic. lol

Yes this place is to leave suggestions, but it's more of an open way of doing so.

I see what you did there :mhm:

Lol, as much as I like the sound of that, I don't think that will be a good idea. The only reason is that while "World Issues" you can guess what it is, "everything the light touches" is a vague phrase and will only lead to confusion as to what goes in and what does not.
