Reddit Mod Squeals In Panic: How Do I Stop People Talking About Immigration?

Reddit Mod Squeals In Panic: How Do I Stop People Talking About Immigration? by Milo Yiannopoulos A moderator of /r/Europe, Reddit’s largest forum for Europeans, is horrified that its users are discussing the issue of the moment — refugees and immigration. Reddit works on the basis of popularity. Users submit links or topics for discussion in topic-specific “subreddits”, and posts rise or fall on the subreddit’s front page based on how many votes they receive from other users. Users of the Europe subreddit, to the horror of their moderators, are now voting for more discussion of immigration. At the time… View Article

Putin’s clever, cynical Syria strategy befuddles White House once again

Putin’s clever, cynical Syria strategy befuddles White House once again Charles Krauthammer Once again, President Obama and his foreign policy team are stumped. Why is Vladimir Putin pouring troops and weaponry into Syria? After all, as Secretary of State John Kerry has thrice told his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, it is only making things worse. But worse for whom? For the additional thousands of civilians who will die or flee as a result of the inevitably intensified fighting. True, and I’m sure Lavrov is as moved by their plight as by the 8,000 killed in Russia’s splendid little Ukrainian adventure…. View Article

Why allow women in combat if we won’t allow them to compete alongside men in sport

Why allow women in combat if we won’t allow them to compete alongside men in sport by John Robson Later this month the United States will almost certainly approve women in all combat positions. It’s a mistake whose time has logically come. I know, I know. Debate is closed on this issue.
