So it was really just a thread with the aim of campaigning for the guy, not something for the sake of discussion...should have been locked at first post in that case. This isn't the first time Lordgrim does this, he makes threads not to have debates but to make it his own personal blog.
Thread starters always have a little extra leeway with how things go, topic bans/locks/etc. It's not an absolute or anything, but we try to take that into account.
If people really want back in there, I'll unlock it, I just figured it'd be better to move the real discussion (US higher education being lunacy) to a thread designed for it.

Yea I just noticed that now.
Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the specific thread. I don't even know who this Bennie guy is. I just have a gripe with a poster who consistently creates threads where he doesn't tolerate any debate.

Normally I'd agree, but there was actual debate in there for a while. I was so proud!
I'm sure he knows this, but his threads get watched a little closer than usual, because of their high... let's call it "incidence rate".

In flag news:
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/07/in-oklahoma-protesters-greet-obama-with-confederate-flags-120207.html?ml=po
OKLAHOMA CITY — Confederate battle flags greeted President Barack Obama as he arrived here for an overnight stay on Wednesday.
Across the street from his hotel in downtown Oklahoma City, as many as 10 people waved the flags as his motorcade arrived. The group stood among a larger group of demonstrators, many of them there to support the president, who is in town ahead of a visit to a federal prison on Thursday as part of his weeklong push on criminal justice issues.
According to local news organizations, a man named Andrew Duncomb, who calls himself the “black rebel,” organized the Confederate flag demonstration. He also put together a similar protest on Saturday at the Oklahoma State Capitol — just a day after South Carolina removed its contested flag from the State Capitol grounds. His Facebook page features photos from that rally.
Wearing a T-shirt bearing Obama’s picture, Sequoya Turner stayed at the demonstration site at the convention center across from Obama’s hotel 45 minutes after the flag-bearers had left, trying to compensate for the flag display.
“He should’ve had a better welcome than he had,” Turner said, breaking into tears. She said she grew up all over Oklahoma and has lived in its capital for seven years, and said Confederate flags are not a common sight, “maybe every blue moon.”
Aside from one exchange of words between a passerby and the flag-wavers, the mixed-race crowd was relatively peaceful and its members tried to ignore one another, she said.

Quote:
Authorities were investigating an "active shooter incident" late Thursday morning at the Naval Reserve Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Fire Chief Randy Jackson said.
"Horrific incident in our community," tweeted Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke. "We will release details as they are confirmed. Prayers to all those affected."
Jackson said paramedics were standing by but had not transported anyone at this time.
Photos posted on Twitter by media outlets showed police blocking a road and a large number of patrol cars.
A witness told CNN that she saw a man with "a high-powered rifle" fire multiple shots from a silver Mustang. She said she was watching through a window from inside a restaurant.
Gina Mule said she heard "Pow, pow, pow!" around 10:50 a.m. ET.
"I don't know how many shots he fired, but it was a lot," she said.
Chattanooga State University asked people on its main campus to stay inside because of a "confirmed shooting," the school said on Twitter.

So is it like the Naval Yard and a university campus under attack? It says shootings at multiple locations, but only talks about the naval yard. More than one shooter? Are SSRIs involved? What's going on?! Details, now!

Is it terrorism? Too bad the army is too busy declaring martial law over in Texas! Oh won't somebody think of the children!

We keep the peace by providing the world with timbits every time the US goes into a conflict. Making our allies, and our enemies, bloated and loaded with sugar that they can't focus on anything more important than a plastic bag caught in an updraft.
