"It's a strange world. Let's keep it that way."
Fans of the cult classic comic, Planetary, by the equally "cultish" writer, Warren Ellis will remember this quote as the tagline of the series.
Initially titled, "State Of The World Address", this board was initially created as the total opposite of "Useless Rantings"...it actually meant something. To raise awareness on REAL issues, REAL incidents that requires REAL responses, not just endless whinning on the internet, or casual chattering in the pubs....
However, it is observed that more often than not, issues that requires attentions almost always promise controversy. And controversy is something that is not for the faint hearted. The fact that the forum goes by the name of "Hellhole" had already gotten disgrunted faces for some, without recognizing the contents of the forum itself. You can't sing praises on "Fahrenheit 911" without picking a side: Republican or Democrats?
Thus, established a compromise. Awareness may still be raised, though NO JUDGEMENT shall be passed, just so that no propaganda will be achieved. News of interest, be it a lighthearted snippet, or earth shattering headlines, will be posted here.
Now, sit back, relax, and be angry only when you feel the need to. After all, it's a strange world. Let's keep it that way.
