where people spew their inner most thoughts. Many are irrational and illogical. Most of the time, they are ill informed.

Example: They are faulting Hollande for keeping France's borders open. The borders of Europe have been open since 1985.
The Schengen Area allows people to travel between countries without a passport. This has been a great help for commerce and business.
