Explosions in Israel are not breaking news either.

This is the United States. This is a forum primarily about this country and its politics. When something occurs that effects the US then its breaking news. Explosions are an everyday event in Israel and have been since the modern nation was created.

Um, I agree that Israel is not a part of the US. But, it IS a pressure cooker and a hot spot. When they have just announced that they may have reached a truce and then some idiot blows himself and who knows how many others up, THAT IS BREAKING NEWS, unfortunately.

A game is neither "political" or "breaking news". It could have been posted under "General" or "Humor". I really don't care where someone posts it, I care when the forums keep getting changed and we can't find each other anymore, and THIS is allowed to stay up as "breaking news".

I am not aggravated at Ppaul or you or anyone else on this thread, I am aggravated in general at the new forums. And you may say, "it's JimRob's right as it's his forum" and you would be correct, but that doesn't mean it's not effecting his forum. People are leaving.
