Re: [opennic-discuss] [FurNIC] New news article

As a U.S. citizen, I can only say that the only time I have heard 
"current situation" used to imply an instability would be in the 
conspiracy threads on reddit, which is obviously a regional 
implication.  Since we are dealing with a world-wide audience pretty 
much everyone here limits their speech to the most common meanings of 
such words without attempting to imply any sub-text.  You are jumping to 
the conclusion of a non-standard definition of the words, so it makes me 
wonder if you are attempting to imply that there is in fact a conspiracy 
here.  If so, why would you think that from a general news blurb?  If 
not, then why are you trying to lead others to think there is a conspiracy?

A German speaker, I forget who, pointed out that these are literal translations of German expressions which do not imply death threats.
