No, I didn't.
I just didn't think it's funny 
I'm serious though, all you former Soapbox people should take it to that forum instead.
It seems like the perfect replacement of the Soapbox and you might actually like it.

Now you're being deliberately obtuse.

Nope. I made a silly post in reference to one below that has absolutely nothing to do with soapbox material and then Sander misses the joke and now you're trying to claim something that isn't there.
Y'all need to lighten up.

The other day a group of users complained about not being able to speak about serious things in the lounge (I don't remember right now if you were in that group or not). I just gave it a try to, that so far is still civilized (and not a small thread by the way). And now this? I see the joke but, on the other hand, I don't see the need for it, sorry.

It was just a silly little piece of humor. It's amazing how many of you are way overreacting.

I thought I wasn't overreacting, I was just curious and honest. But today is not my best day, so let's leave it here.

This is going to bring consequences (whether it is real or not). I am not wanting to start a political discussion and I hope you can behave and that it doesn't degenerate to soapbox level.
If you can't avoid it, I will delete the whole thread.
I decide to post it, because it is already circulating in the news of several countries and I have already seen it translated to 3 different languages. It is only a matter of time, that you get to this through other channels.
BREAKING: Salvini Demands Answers – Does a 2015 Italian Documentary Prove the Coronavirus was created in a Chinese Lab? (WATCH) – RAIR[^]
IMPORTANT NOTE: The video goes about A coronavirus, not about THE coronavirus.
The problem is that it is so similar, that the polemic is exploding anyways.
IMPORTANT NOTE 2: Only because they were investigating something similar doesn't mean they are guilty of this pandemia.
I want to bring focus to the: "only because we can doesn't mean that we should"
It is clear that many medical and technological advances are directly connected with dubvious experiments that ended right. But is it always worth the risks? We might do somethings to try to help, but at the end still be the cause of a big evil.
ADDITION:
I am not asking about "if they are involved", My question is more: "Do you agree with such experiments where we interfere that much with nature laws and that could potentially explode in our face and be a big evil?" (more in the line of 12 monkeys[^] or contagion[^]

If you look hard enough, (particularly on the internet), you will find some prediction/conspiracy theory for every possible event. You also need to bear in mind that TV program makers are more inclined to sensationalism, than facts. I'm betting Nostradamus also predicted it!

That, especially that network. Most programs on Rai3 are crap, they amplify any hoax and sell them as facts. My mother is quite fond of them and I had to spend many unhappy hours debunking all the idiocy they spew regularly about computer security, darknets and so on.

Yep, and that's public television for which we pay a mandatory tax to sustain in order to eep it free of advertisements (which is not), free of political manipulation (which is not) and with quality content (again, it is not).
The private tv is even worse, much much worse. And that's another problem: the "cultured" people tend to be biased to what they hear on Rai3...

So... more of the same as in Spain.
Years ago the statal 2nd channel was the best. Reportages, Documentaries, other stuff... giving always the impresion of objectivity and well documented.
Nowadays... you can forget it.
1st public Channel an extension of the public relationships of the government. Depressive 
2nd public Channel tries to keep an independant image, but you see that they are under pressure and can't avoid external interferences. Still one of the best channels in comparison
Private channels:
Telecinco - Sensationalism in pure essence. Realities to keep population dumb done with people even dumber
Antena 3 - One political agenda
La sexta - The other political agenda
...
The only channels that still have a "decent" vote from my side are the ones with no news, no moderated programs that only schedule series, films and cartoons. But even they have tons of publicity that end annoying the hell out of you.

Although I definitely lean to the left, I have to agree that "public television" is far from neutral. It has pretty much been hijacked by the far left.
On the other side, the biggest "News" network in the US, FoxNews, is in fact not a news station, except for a little bit now and then. It is a non-stop opinion platform - and as such, has no accountability for spreading misinformation. It is, after all, just their opinion.
This has been going on long enough where, with entire generation(s) having been brought up as with this as their reality, they gladly swallow their own puke - it's what they want to hear so it must be true. They new all along!
In various forms, opposing opinions are just labeled "fake news" with any number of variations on the name, but in all cases, making ignoring unpleasant truths that much easier.
New and Information is now firmly in the Cult category.
We vs They continues to become, ever more so, WE vs THEY.
