I always hit Snopes if im interested in a quick check.

Someday hopefully we'll win our fight against stoopid!

I agree that facts should be checked, but for this particular story the facts lead to more questions. Was there ever a safety incident in the past with Christmas lights strung between poles? It mentions the law doesn't allow using the electricity, but does it explicitly forbid it? Why not put a weight limit and wattage limit rather than an outright ban? (LEDs have come a long way)
"technical reasons" should have technical merit.

Even if the ban was to stop offending others, they are a sovereign nation and can pass laws however they like. I wouldn't of shared the story (if I had facebook) just because it was obvious trolling.

I'm not upvoting this.
Facebook is not a news source. If you're dumb enough to think otherwise, you shouldn't be allowed to go online in the first place. You're not intellectually competent enough to navigate the web.
What has this world become where we can't even differentiate between news organisations and random companies anymore?
It really pisses me off that this has to be said in the first place. Is it really that bad that we allow ourselves to be spoon-fed our favourite beliefs without any scepticism anymore?

Fact checking before posting?



Where's the fun in that?

Nah, fact checking is what SJWs do.
