Enough already? These posts with headlines like, "Will Trump be President? Is ISIS overcoming the Western world? Is Hillary electable? and so on are so stupid and here's why. Such headlines want to elicit and persuade readers to read that garbage for the purpose of selling ads somewhere. No one gives a running flip as to what anyone without about 500 million dollars or more has to say. Someone here can come uop with a brilliant statement or idea and it will go absolutely nowhere because a large sum of money was not behind it.
It would be most pleasant if folks would just post stories providing facts instead of asking inane questions, the answers to which will accomplish absolutely nothing. Even our own speculating is pointless because big money will take things where they want it to go no matter what anyone thinks. When God gets ready, he's going to bring them all to shame.
1. Does Bill Clinton have one testicle or two?
2. Will earthquakes in Oklahoma be a problem during the height of the presidential campaign in 2016?
3. Are smartphones going to turn dumbasses into better voters, or worse lovers?
4. Will black liberals and muslim activists dress up to take the most prominent posts on "The People of Walmart" website?
It never ends...
an excellent take on that branch of post modern urinalism!!!
10 Ways Reading this Clickbait Will Change Your Life
I hate the ones with titles that end in “this” in an attempt to drive traffic their way. Example. “You’ll never believe what happened when so and so found out about some guy and and then did this.”
hate clickbait “you’ll never believe what happened in Wal Mart”....grrr
Three
2. Will earthquakes in Oklahoma be a problem during the height of the presidential campaign in 2016?
Only if the height of the campaign is reached while in Oklahoma, which is probably not going to happen, so, no.
3. Are smartphones going to turn dumbasses into better voters, or worse lovers?
The former, maybe, if they use the phone to get useful information, unless they get on a cruz/trump debate on FR, in which case they will definitely leave dumber.
Regards the latter, depends on who they are talking to or with while having sex.
4. Will black liberals and muslim activists dress up to take the most prominent posts on "The People of Walmart" website?
Seeing as how walmart is come as you are, I would be more concerned mooslimbs try to get ahead, or two, while there.
It never ends...
Trump is a poo poo head. Is that better?
And who made YOU the thread monitor police?

Just kidding. I agree with you. This place is becoming too unreadable with the many duplicates and reposts.
My guess is the moderators are too busy eating all that free pizza and jazzed up on darksheare’s coffee.
What about articles about those articles?
Boy you’ve brought up something I’ve been noticing. If you can’t create a news story without using a question mark at the end you shouldn’t be a “journalist”.
They are “teaser titles” used for clickbaiting people to click so ads are shown and the website owner makes money.
They should be banned from FR. If the title is a teaser title the poster should have the right to change the title.
“News” channels are doing this heavily too. “Next up, the Broncos did something tonight you don’t want to miss” instead of saying “The Broncos won tonight, we’ll show you how”.
It is like crying wolf. Soon, no one is going to click or watch anything no matter what the title says.
Stupid articles asking questions are getting OLD
***************
Is someone forcing you or are you clicking on the article of your on free will? If so
quit and don’t be flustrated or worrying about what others post which you can’t control.
Stupid fat articles asking retarded questions are getting dumb and retarded and making donut makers fart and we think fat stupid retarded questions are the stupid problem with dumb articles farting about stupid farts asking fat questions about retarded fat donut makers who write stupid fat retarded articles about questions.
