News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Now that you’ve had to admit, “Hey, we do do that here” what are you doing with that? Have you experienced any epiphanies?
Hell no. Their magic underwear keeps that from happening.
And throat slit vow
Throat slit vow?
Mormon temple ritual in which they move their hand across their lower stomach/bowels (not throat, sorry, it's been a long time since I left Mormonism) and vow to spill the blood of enemies of the Mormon church
This is part of a ritual called "the endowment" which is required for every person to do if they want to get into the highest level of heaven, called "the Celestial Kingdom". Someone who receives this endowment ritual (which is most practicing adult Mormons) is called "endowed". This endowment ritual can only be performed inside a Mormon temple.
I'm an exmo as well, the gestures you're talking about were removed in 1990, and it was never about vowing to spill the blood of enemies. It was about secrecy, framed in stark death-before-dishonor terms.
Your version is more metal and exciting, though.
What a fucking joke of a human
hes spencer cox, what you expect, hes the one that allowed GUNS ON CAMPUS in the first place.
Womp womp. I assume he’s a lot like the governor I have to deal with here in Missouri
Clearly, we must thoughts and prayers even harder.
All these people keep on praying, but the whole time they forgot to think
sounds like tiffany the expensive jewelry chain.
How ugly that is to admit it out loud. What a fucking racist
Honestly, if he'd just left it at "another state," I wouldn't even be mad. I totally get wanting the degree of separation. But adding "another country" absolutely betrays his true thoughts. What a gross thing to admit.
The quote makes it seem a lot more understandable than the title makes it out to be imo
TBH - that’s exactly why I added the quote when I posted the article. But I still think it’s fucked up with the full context; just not as fucked up.
I mean, plenty of us were hoping the shooter wasn't antifa, and that's not so different.
Someone I could hate and justify that hatred against the Left…
