Current posting trends here

What's with the current trend here of posting the most awful, depressing news stories you can all find?

What's the purpose? It's a sad, sick world we live in...but not all the time. Try posting nice/fun/entertaining stuff.

Oops I think my thread has pushed him over the edge.

One too many is all, just seems every time i come to GD there's another disturbing/disgusting news story posted and all it seems to do is depress.

Sorry.

Far from it, although it's certainly heading that way..just don't understand the need to copy/paste links to news stories about the worst stuff that goes on.

It's because certain posters (naming no names) seem to think that if they post a link to a news story it will spark intelligent debate, which in turn will make them look good for starting it.

Well, it doesn't work.
