Why do you think the major networks opted out of a presidential address? This almost never happens

Remind me, what part of "Edit your OP and we'll move the thread back" in your first thread equates to "Hey, I'll just make a second thread?"

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.

Because he gave you a solution which was utterly more rational than what you actually did.

That's always a decent enough reason to listen to somebody.

This thread is fine, the one in the flood isn't.

The difference is between 'AHHAHAHAHAHAHHAH' as the post content and 'Why do you think the major networks opted out of a presidential address? This almost never happens' is why this one is alright and the other was not.

No thanks bro.

oh but when Max replies to every post I make about my opinion and says "Of course you feel this way".

That has discussion value right? But my shit doesnt? LOL

There's a difference between a reply and an OP.

Surely you can recognise that.

That doesn't have discussion value, but that's not the start of a thread topic. This thread does have discussion value, and the other one would have if you had put something alongside the 'Hahahaha'. Simple as that <.<

November sweeps has to be factored in for the main networks (CBS, ABC, Fox, NBC).

The discussion value comes from the title and the link......

So basically, I could have wrote NOTHING instead of HAHAHA and that would be fine? But because I laughed at all the liberals leader, my shit gets moved? You've got to be joking?

Writing "HAHAHAHAHA" instead of nothing is, quite clearly, less conducive to a serious discussion.

So I can't laugh at something serious?

Personally, I find it hilarious that these networks aren't broadcasting a presidential speech.

Somewhat, but it's not great form to have nothing in the OP other than laughter. Even if it is humorous to you. As I said, if you had the laughter and what is in the present OP then it would have been fine to remain.

This one isn't a matter of who you are laughing at, but it's just a simple matter of needing something more substantial in the OP. Which you have now rectified, and this thread is fine to remain as it is, where it is, so there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Not quite sure why it's so funny, but okay.

You still have to provide discussion in your thread. Simply posting a link doesn't cut it most of the time - hence the purpose of asking discussion questions that are meant to bring out the opinions in people.

Simply typing "Hahahahaha" in an OP does nothing to stimulate discussion, and that goes for any thread in this forum, posted by anyone.

Of course you can.

Just do it after you've set up the discussion.

Okay, so just for the future.

If I make a thread. I post the link, put nothing in the description. And then reply to myself, and laugh at the OP and thats cool?

If I had just put my "HAHAHAHAHA" in a reply, and not in the OP it would be cool right?

Not really, since there would still be nothing in the OP other than the link. You'd need something like 'What do you think of this?' or anything along those lines, then below that you can post HAHAHAHAHAHAHA and it will be all good.

I neither fear, nor despise.
Perhaps they don't want to publicize his stance on immigration?
They may know ahead of time what it is, and decided they don't like it.
Spoiler
Maybe they drank too much Koolaid and needed a ride home?
