News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

"Source: my brain." Yeah, I'm sure you and anyone else would accept that. That is absolutely stupid if that's the source you accept. Everything anyone writes is synthesizing information using their brain. They may just provide evidence to ensure to others that it's true.
Also, you didn't "reasonably" give your thoughts. You totally dismissed everything because it didn't agree with your opinion. Again, what possible information could change your opinion? If the answer you have is "nothing" (or you can't think of anything) then you should consider why you hold the position you hold.
I used to watch this guy, who does "Street Epistemology," for a while, but I haven't seen anything recently. I guess YouTube decided to to not it. Anyway, you should watch some of this and then consider your opinions in the same frame. If you actually want to think for yourself, like you imply you do, then you need to consider why you think a certain way and hold the opinions that you hold.
Your time is done. Shut up weirdo commie. Nobody likes you anymore. Maybe online but that's not real world shit.
People seem to like me more than fine actually. Are you projecting?
It's funny, instead of actually engaging in conversation and addressing the points, you instead hurl out insults, accusations, and ad hominems. It's almost like you don't have a leg to stand on or something.
I have considered my reasons for my beliefs, and why I even have those reasons to start with. You can't address that. I think the one telling others to think for themselves has some thinking they need to do.
You deserved what you got. Hey, Go have a nice memorial day. I will. You probably don't know so I'll tell you. It's the ones that died to give you the freedom to have any view you want.
I'm the son of a veteran dipshit.
Why are you trying to be an asshole? What do you get out of it? It can't make you happier.
Lowest iq reply ever. Being the son of a veteran is taking credit for doing nothing. I actually am a veteran. You shouldn't speak soft little dipshit.
