off topic like reddit or pickup gurus,, or just plain way off topic rather than closely related photography topics other than microstock.


Shouldn't they go in the massage board for "General Photography Discussion"?

ya, if a massage is what they really want  ;)

Normally, I don't involve in a discussion if it's out of my interests. Sometimes I leave after halfway through if I lose my interest. Then I don't worry what others discuss about. Probably you can try the same. No one is forced to involve in each and every thread. Just a suggestion.  :)

i don't know about the rest, but i for one , hate to see leaf's forum turned into having the top 5 issues as off topics instead of what he wanted this forum to be ... microstock photography..
I checked,  and on my system,  this is the only off-topic thread on the first page.
Given that the Paris bombing is being talked about everywhere this week, and that this discussion can be on several levels, it's not surprising that it's discussed here.
Leaf chose to include an off-topic thread, and has so far chosen not to lock this one, so don't presume to speak for him.
Also, don't forget that you can put the off-topic thread on ignore if you wish.

definitely yes i am making joke of it...
because even more than 100 ppl could die if you help them spread their terror.

 the more powerful weapon of terrorism or any form of bullying is the insurgent
into your mind.. to make you believe they are more powerful than you think.
if the general public are afraid, the terrorist will have already succeeded to spread terror and paranoia of their threat
and power to seize the general public
by getting the common folks to spread the news
of their terror.
in spreading the news and discussion, you are doing exactly what they want you to do...

granted the newspapers discuss this, but they do not blow it out of proportion to give it headlines.
even when a so-called copyist-terrorist is trying his own to terrorize who he considers the guilty party,
the police or dept of defence or whatever, do not entertain these people
to discuss it any further.

ok, back to serious business,
you still haven't answered my question...
what is the best diaper for incontinence because when people get paranoid they drip constantly 8)

 ;) ...
Also, don't forget that you can put the off-topic comment about an equally off-topic thread on ignore if you wish

What you are doing here is imposing your own criteria on what information is practically calling all information rumour.
If you dont like certain aspects of the discussion, critize those,dont paint it all as rumour.

Information means nothing by itself.It needs discussion and criticism to mean somethin and you just rejected those as means to that end.
Maybe it is people like you who are of the impression that earth is flat since all discussion regarding it's non-flattness must be rumour and these discussions dont belong here anyway?Hows that?

Clearly, some people need a "safe space" where they wont risk being exposed to opinions that are different or challenge them.

If you guys really want an informative read on the mindset of isis and their goals, below is a link to a long article who pretty much explains the group and their ideology which has been pretty much accurate to say even isis members are saying that thats who they are and about. Pretty scary too.

ER is a troll from day one. Just wants to cause the thread to be closeed so he doesn't have to let us speak freedom. In his own way he is a forum terrorist throwing bombs into our discussions to disrupt.

If the French were armed like the American's, those terrorists with guns would have fired a few shots and been silenced by the power of the people. Freedom rings and protects us against these people. That's why they take advantage of France or kill their own kind in their countries. Corrupt power from a small group of misguided religious fanatics, makes the good ones look bad. But the good have no weapons to defend, so they get murdered in homelands.

If the French were armed like the Americans are, they'd be killing themselves at much higher rates than any terrorists do. Americans shoot each other or themselves to death abut 85 times a day, every day, week after week, month after month, year after year.

I'm guessing that this is unobvious sarcasm or deliberate trolling.
However, I know from some stupid comments appearing on Facebook just after the Paris bombing, to the effect that it was Europe's own fault for letting in Syrian refugees (and there were some posts veering in that direction early in this thread) that I can't assume that this is not an actual, genuine opinion.
If you were really expressing your opinion, would you explain how freedom rang and protected Americans from 9/11, or protects US schoolchildren, again and again, from random gun attacks from their own countrymen?

Cmon boys lets all whip out our rulers and measure the length of our +1's lined up.
Whoever has it bigger must be the lesser troll and a hell of a clever guy.

Of course, but attacks in Beirut, Damascus or Bagdad are not unexpected. The whole region is an unstable civil war zone.

Paris,London and New York are not known to be at war, an attack there is something new.

Moreover these are truly global cities probably visited by over a billion people have once in their life visited them, studied or worked there.

They are places millions of people around the world dream to move to, places we believe you can live safely and in peace.

More people around the world have some kind of emotional connection to Paris, than to Damascus or large cities in Africa that also have many attacks and violence.

The terrorists know this, an attack there will get them more attention and a lot more money from their supporters than an attack in Beirut.

If we do get monthly attacks in France, it wont be front page news anymore. That is just the way media works.

Even in the Middle East many people are more shocked about attacks in Paris or London than at home. Especially, if they have sent their children to school or to study there, hoping they have sent them to a safe place.
That's just too bad, but not uncommon for people to consider Middle East and Africa as dangerous and unstable places. Ask yourself, how many attacks were there in Beirut this year and how many in Paris?
There are safer places in the Middle East and Africa than in France. There are no terrorist attacks in let's say Lilongwe or Amman or Muscat or Kigali.

Speaking to people in the field, whether they are Egyptians, Palestinians, Syrians, Lebanese, Jordanians, Israeli or bedouins, all say the same thing, the West doesn't care about our lives. Even Facebook has a double standard here. Sad.

I have family in Amman and Beirut, so for me personally there is an emotional connection if something happens there. But for most people around me there isnt. It doesnt mean that only french lives matter. It is just not the same emotional connection.

Imagine you go to attend the funeral of a very dear friend and while you stand by the grave and mourn, somebody walks up to you and complains that you are not showing any emotion to the other person who died and whose funeral is being held two rows down.

Just because you are grieving for your friend doesnt mean you have no empathy for other people. But you will feel a deeper loss to someone you are connected to than the rest of the world.

Attacks happen every single day somewhere across the globe. If there was an attack in my town of Cologne, the Sydney opera house would not be lit up in the colours of my city. Nor would I expect it or go on the internet to complain. There is no competition in grief.

If something happens in Asia, Sri Lanka, or Ukraine, it doesnt affect me as much as London, Paris, Amman, New York or Athens. wherever my family and friends live will have the strongest pull on me. And I dont see why I should feel guilty for it, I dont expect the whole world to follow my life in Cologne, either.
It's called the proximity principle.
Lack of social and/or physical proximity leads to apathy.
Apathy is one of the reasons disasters got worse, i.e. Darfur, prelude to WWII etc.

BRAVO ! bINGO!!!

it isn't that i do not grieve for the 140 dead. if it's just the number that shakes you to warrant a "discussion" to this to perpetuate the terrorists spread of terror,
here's something with bigger number for you to grieve and ponder...

239 million people in sub-Saharan Africa were hungry/undernourished in 2010 (its most recent estimate). 925 million people were hungry worldwide...

that is times more than 140 ppl.
