While that may technically be true, I think the events would quickly 
devolve into politics.  Like within 4-5 posts/replies.

For example:

1.  Let's say there are catastrophic storms (tornados, hurricanes) 
somewhere.  Certainly a world event.  But, within a few posts, the topic 
of "climate change" would come up, and then......

2.  Sports?  Olympics?  Pretty soon we're talking about transgender, 
doping, boycotts, and........ yep.

3.  War?  Ukraine?  Please........

That's my opinion, anyway, and I think it's a pretty accurate 
description of what would happen.
