The news? I hate that show!

Apparently watching the News is bad for your mental health! A recent study in stress at Nottingham Trent University found that watching the news triggered depression, confusion, irritation, anger and anxiety. News comes at the price of your peace of mind. Like we need a reason for people to not pay attention to what goes on in the world around them!

Hey,

Those ARE the feelings you are SUPPOSED to have when you watch the News. Just like your supposed to get a stiffy when you watch Porno.

If you have none of the above reactions, someone forgot to tell you, that you are DEAD.

This IS my post

Everyone knows it was the US that was responsible for the exinction of the dinosaurs. They could have stopped the asteroid but didn't. Have they denied it? No. Have they shown any proof of their innocence? No. Why? Because IT WAS ALL ABOUT THE OIL!

Littlewhy??? Was the humour too subtle for you?

I real life I have a "stiff drink" about once every two or three years. It's hardly my "answer to everything".

Loosen up, my friend. Sandmonkey is a great comedian. You gotta have a good time when you're in his company. I was just carrying on the theme.

Talking about news. This is the kind of news that shocks me! This president of Harvard needs to step down for sure.

"A woman can be proud and stiff
When on love intent;
But Love has pitched his mansion in
The place of excrement;
For nothing can be sole or whole
That has not been rent."

Many apologies, Sam. I'm not generally the bawdy type, but when Louise keeps pitching softballs like that, I gotta just take a swing.

Oops. One too many stiff drinks, by the look of it. maughty = naughty

Care or not care... What can we do anyway? Just as a thing we like to avoid [one big mob] we can have some influence [by voting e.g.]. I think it's rather unfair pouring this amount of sadness and injustice over our heads. It leaves, me at least, very frustrated. Hurt for other people and not being able to do something about it. What's worse?
And then. . . you go on with your daily errands. Ploops!
