so, what would you like to talk about? the weather, food, shoes, bunnies - i can't think of anything else. Turtles? Turtle soup, that's food though and soup is already covered.........

But they aren't discussions Boris they are just duplication of articles reported elsewhere. Why not pose the topic as a question rather than a headline from a news site?

eg. What does everyone think about Mr "Gillards" attack on Mrs Abbott?

Then all the links to support the individuals opionion can all be on the one thread. That is a proper discussion thread in my opinion.

I wasn't disagreeing, thats why I like the Diary thread, it's one thread and it's kind of like scrapbooking to me.

Don't want this to be a " move the politics"  or "ban c &p"thread again.

Just saying that posing a genuine question rather than posting a headline gives a clearer guide to thread topic...

You can title your threads anyway you like Puddles.

Because some only want to replies from those who agree with their viewpoint ( the bias in their quoted article) they are not not interested in opposing views. .or what those people THINK.
