Seriously, why is "Current Events" even a forums category?

So few posts are actually there and couldn't it be in the "Society" category since every single one of them, not one single exception existent, is outside of our society?

The forum categories are a lot better now than they used to be. There was once a category for cars, one for TV, etc. I think there was even one for food.

It was a suggested addition while various ones were being removed.

If/when another round of forum restructuring happens, it will probably be done away with.

Is it really news that Julie's smart dog saved her little brother by dragging him out of a ditch? In Bumfux, MS where it happened, maybe so. In L.A.? Not so much.

I mean, I tried to infiltrate DebateIsland.com, and found there is an entire topic about tea. Yeah, TEA. Now that I think about it, Current events are not that bad, at least it isn't some topic about "Misinformation about religious cults in Northern Oklahoma and Southeastern rural areas of Sardinia, France". or "The act of committing theft in uptown Los Angeles when 40 corrupt governmental members are surrounding you with handguns and grenades".

Do you drink iced tea or do you drink it warm like a civilized person?

Dihydrogen Monoxide makes up over 99% of tea by volume.

Well I drink them from bottles. I prefer Poland Springs, and no tea was added.

To continue the thread, Empty space constitutes more 99% of Tea because, in every atom, the nucleus takes up little space, resulting in empty space in every atom, including Water and a mixture called Tea.

Very well, I shall amend my post from the following:

Dihydrogen Monoxide makes up over 99% of tea by volume.

To the following:

Dihydrogen Monoxide makes up over 99% of tea by mass.

Ugh, I will get used to it.
