you're wrong in your analysis....blogs such as FR exist for people to discuss, throw out ideas and opinions, suggest scenarios, etc...

we live in an era where the news is slanted, squashed,manipulated,twisted for political cover...

if off beat scenarios are submitted and discussed, there is ample reason why....

and besides, most things discussed here turn out to be true...

I guess now we will have a discussion about the various discussions of this event....

No one can be simply a human being any more ....we all got that categorizing thing goin’ on

I do wonder how this would play out if the news was that Brandon was a heterosexual activist

How am I wrong?

I don’t know if you understood my reply. FR is not a “blog”, but the GotNews is closer to the definition. I was speaking of that.

As well as my well-experienced opinion that many on FR immediately fly off the handle and start postulating how it must be this or that conspiracy.

I am aware it is a forum for “open ideas”, but it doesn’t speak well to rational logic when within 5 replies, a news event is postulated as surely Moslem evil-doing, or policemen acting like cowards shooting anything they see, or whatever other favorite conspiracy or stereotype fits the story. I’ve been on here too long in too many different discussions to not see this proclivity.
