You just explained why. Take it to the SoapBox.

I'm just reporting an event. People who might not know about it will see it here, they are less likely to see it in the soapbox. A similar post I made just after the Westminster attack got moved to the soapbox yet there was another thread in the lounge the very next day that didn't.
I've said nothing inflammatory unless you have an issue with the phrase religion of peace.

Of course we do. At the time of posting you have no idea about the cause, motivations or the religion of the perps. You want to discuss religion take to the f***ing soapbox!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Really? I'll wager you I'm right. What you staking?
|

|

Even better, take it to facebook (as you said you prefer fb and hardly ever come here.)
oh I know, you got completely fb unfriended, again.

Yawn. Is this the third or fourth time you've said this? Never actually said that though either.

You see, there you go with the perfect reason to move this to the Soapbox Pom Pey: I'll wager you I'm right. What you staking?
So the deaths of 22 people is the subject of a wager now? I find that more offensive than the discussion of any religion.

Point #5 here[^] reads: For those discussions where you wish to be a little more frank, use the Soapbox[^].
I'd suspect that a lot of people would want to be quite frank while discussing this topic.
What you have posted may or may not be soapbox material (my opinion, like many others' is that it is, but that could sure be debated). But this topic will incite further debates that will inevitably include politics and religion, and that cannot be debated or refuted.
That is good enough a reason for this post to be qualified as soapbox material.

Why? It has got 'religion' in the title.

To be fair, I've seen 'religion' mentioned in titles (and articles) before in the Lounge. I suspect that there's a degree of 'sensitivity' towards some religions which isn't required for others though..? 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Sure but that was sarcasm for the Mickeysoft/Apple/Whatever fanbois.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

I'm pretty sure I've seen it in regards to Christianity too.. I mean, I'm an atheist, so it's no skin off my nose, but to paraphrase Orwell "All religions are equals, but some are treated more equal than others"

Not at all. Using the phrase "religion of peace" is clearly an intent to anger/inflame/etc.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Well tempers may be a bit angry/inflamed/etc after what happened less than 24 hours ago..

Can't you guys discuss what belongs into the soapbox - in the soapbox? Metasoapboxing.

Surely discussion of metasoapboxing belongs in the Soapbox2?
Or is this metametasoapbox material?

How long will it take to set up a metasoapbox?

Dunno - I'm all out of metaNails and metaJavascript.
Though in the last case you probably need CrystalMethaJavascript.

I thought that the price was good for these[^], until I noticed that they are metal soapboxes, not metasoapboxes.

Thinking about it: Recursion obviously also is a subject for the soapbox or a metasoapbox of higher order

I'll be the one to clearly state what you obviously know:
The title pushes this to the Soapbox more than the content - surely you didn't pick this as an introduction by accident.

[A little diff for this Weak; a tribute to Mom]
My Mom went Home (Heaven) this past week.
I wrote this poem for her:
Forever Near
bRYgUY - 5/17/2017
May it be soon, our grieving not prolong,
That, of our joy, our hearts may, in song,
Sweet of rapturous chorus, bespoken sound,
Memories of Nana forever abound.
It fair, be said, truly, I know not,
That which our life may seem without.
Yet shall always be known eternal love,
She sees us, her Little Ones, from Above.
We weep this day, certainly a few,
To come, once again, the joy so true.
Holding in our hearts her sweetest embrace,
Her beloved kiss upon our face.
Of time, it will seem undeservedly great,
For, anew eternal, our smiles to wait,
When burdensome time shall be no more,
We & Nana & Papa meet at Heaven's Door:
"Our Love, Our Mom!"
... "My Children, so Dear!"
... ... Together Again.
... ... ... Forever Near.

In time the pain recedes, but never leaves.
It was probably 10 years before the anniversary past without realizing what day it was.
Having said that.. cherish the memories, reflect on the good times, think on what made you laugh.
