what UTTER thread derailing TWADDLE

today the telegraph had an article about how Gordon Brown thinks organs should be harvested from dead patients without consent. That right he says when your dead the organs are property of the homeland.


the article , nor Mr Browns proposal mention no such thing , the key issue which you deliberatly ignore is the provision of an ` opt out ` register and the kext of kin veto

how you twist that to ` without consent ` beggars beleif

i am in favour of this - it puts the onus on those who do not wish to donate to activly say no

Truth In Labeling

Originally posted by snoopyuk
ok , so i repeat my question , Why has this been left as it is , it is on the front page of this site, and it clearly does NOT say hoax or anything....very misleading..

An administrator or perhaps another moderator may indeed choose to do that, but for my part I am extremely cautious about making "official" determinations about the credibility of stories.

The main reason I'm so reluctant has to do with the core ATS ethic of leaving the question of truth or falsehood for the members to decide for themselves.

It is my responsibility as a moderator to enforce the AboveTopSecret.com Terms And Conditions Of Use, and I'm allowed to express my personal opinions on topics just as any member can -- but not to use my position as a moderator to force my opinions or beliefs on anyone.

Aside from all that, it's always possible that an "official" pronouncement in a circumstance like this could be wrong, in which case I as a staff member would be potentially deceiving my fellow ATSers under "color of authority" -- which I can assure you is a far more horrid prospect for me than simply choosing not to label a dubious story a hoax.

Finally, though I think the source in question has been thoroughly discredited in general, that in itself does not prove that this story isn't true -- though I note that several well-informed members whom I respect do seem to think it's a load of bollocks.

Thus, despite my own personal suspicion that this is yet another shipment of manure from a notoriously prolific source, without sound evidence to support labeling it a hoax (i.e., deliberately contrived to deceive), I don't think it would be proper to do so at this time.

However, if someone should make a solid case proving that the source article is indeed a deliberate hoax, that could change.

*yawn*

do some research first before jumping on the old Rothschild conspiracy of the British Empire

Yeah, as a UK resident, I must of forgot we were a police state. After all, I have a right to vote and freedom of speech still

Grow up.
