What's happening?

Miscellaneous. Used to be used for religious threads, hitler threads, and others. Mods came in and shut all that down. Everybody happy.
But now all it seems like people are doing are making threads that tell us how horrible the world is. They tell us to stop pollution. That's a good cause but it doesn't have to be said fifty times. Also what's the hope of doing that here? It just says basically stop polluting. We won't stop over night, let alone just because someone tells us. Then there's one saying why do we not help other countries? I don't know, maybe you should take that to the government instead of ranting about it on the forums, which aren't for that, nor probably have any say in those matters since mostly everyone on Scratch is young and probably find politics boring. Now, I'm not mentioning any names but theres a topic asking about pollution, and then it asks you to agree if you should stop. What good willl that do? Sorry if I'm being a downer but most people would agree that stopping pollution would definately be the good thing to do. Unfortunately they don't do it. So what I'm saying is......... kind of lost the message here.

This has been Lord-Sprites with "Complaining about Stuff"

I agree. Stop debating over world problems.

Re: What's happening?

This place (Miscellaneous) is for things which are only faintly linked to scratch, i dont see pollution linked to scratch. Do you?

Re: What's happening?

So you are upset that children like to give their naive views on how the world should work? I would be surprised if this didn't happen. Their method of debating is based on how they emotionally feel or regurgitating information that their teachers/priests/parents/ect tell them without giving it any critical thought. Most of the debates in these topics can be mostly dismissed by anyone who knows anything about the topic.

I agree  smile

Misc isn't fun no more. Where's ther awesome stuff like those "ohh it's a scratch survey" things. At least it is better than having GM being put right in the face of us.

Not neccesarily upset, just annoyed that more and more keep showing up. Freedom of speech is a-okay

Re: What's happening?

But they should shouldn't do it here. Freedom of speech, yes, but this isn't the place.

Re: What's happening?

TBG is for debate I suppose.

I definitely agree that Misc is littered with useless stuff. It was clean a week ago, why did <insert person here> start that topic? Everyone would agree anyway

(hint: This topic actually stays in, it's about Scratch  tongue  )
