Multiple topics on important issues or discussions are acceptable,( this only applies to topics which waste resources for no other reason except personal enjoyment or humor.)

This issue may be acceptable but there isn't much sensible conversations in those threads. It's all, would you cut their heads off, or when are we going to nuke them, or why isn't anyone ouraged... which essentially people just wanted to hear themselves talk... not unlike myself right now. If people were having actual thought out discussions in those multiple duped threads it might be different.

My personal take on this is "let the best duplicate thread win!".
Umm, seriously, the video posted in the secret forum there you probably saw makes one sick, ill at ease, and nearly afraid of posting what they Really Feel.
Kind of like making a light joke or looking for an entirely miniscule thing to give you a chuckle instead of either bursting into tears, or going on a rampage...
Again, just my take.
I really think that the past little bit has been the most "traumatic" time for those on ARF since 9/11, even though I wasn't around then.
Think of it like everybody in the room is thinking about one event, but they know if they voice opinions/responses to that, the whole room is going to erupt with their views.
I think it is better to have 20 threads talking about coconut pie with "that event" in the title.
I hope some of this made sense, yes, I am ready to spit blood, especially when you consider they called "embarrassment" of prisoners "torture". That video is torture of a "fast nature". Much Much worse things have gone on there that we do not know about. War is ugly. Exactly what are we supposed to do?
The answer is not lock all the related threads while people vent about coconuts to get the image out of there mind. I also don't think the answer is for everybody to decide what the POTUS should do. This is a large quandry.
I hope I didn't just lock your thread,
