I don't find local or national news very informative. It's mainly a vehicle to sell advertisements. Like the saying goes, "If it bleeds, it leads". The way "news" is defined is problematic; it's almost always bad news. War, hurricanes, murder, inflation, etc. Or stupid shit like Paris Hilton's dog or Lindsey Lohan's crotch. "Plane lands safely at O'Hara airport", isn't news. Anybody who thinks they have a clue about what's really happening in the world by just watching the news is sadly mistaken. The Internet is somewhat better if you're focused and disciplined enough to wade thru all the crap that's posted. But one look at the ratings for Youtube videos shows not many people are. If you posted a video of Paris Hilton's dog licking Lindsey Lohan's crotch, I guarantee it would be ranked "Most Veiwed". I'm no better. I'd rather watch a video of BTS massaging her boobs then George Bush explain why "Scooter" Libby ought to be pardoned.

A debate on news and media could probably go on indefinitely. But I will add that any news that I have had personal knowledge of is always WAY off when covered by the media. So I start wondering, what percentage of their stories is actually accurate.

And I've always maintained that the highest concentration of idiots on the internet is at youtube. I just look at the comments section of, say, ANY video and I am worried about the future of the human race.
this comic says it all.

I'm actually getting a little deffensive, haha. I'm not sure why I'm defending the media in the U.S. but, I'm sure things are much more open and wordly focused over in Australia. I do think that we're giving you a misleading impression of the news over here though... oh well.

I promise though.... not all Americans are stupid, self-centered, bush-supporting fatties who think that what's on the news is everything going on in the world.

Wow, I guess you guys have been told!

I think that argument has skewed from my initial rant that some major events aren't as well covered in the US mainstream news as they are elsewhere in the world. That's all really



Ohhhhhh he's good!



Darling I know not all Americans like that. Every summer I meet a lot of Americans as they flood the place along with people from Europe and the UK to spend the Southern Hemisphere summer in and around Sydney. I actually dig alotta of Americans, really cool people. I have found a love/hate thing though. I mean I either love em or they drive me fucking insane, same thing can be seen on this board.

Your first paragraph is precisely my rant.

Glad we're back on the same page again sugar... can we still have make up sex?

I'll disagree more with you if make up sex is on the cards!

Then keep arguing budy, I want sex all night long!!

Yes ma'am.... or is that no, screw you?

Oh dear.... we're going to be terrible at this whole fighting bit. Maybe we should skip that and just have sex?

Agreed.... that's where I do my best work

Mmmm... ok, I'll start on top.

I will sit back and enjoy the view

Thank you for riding Baby21 airline, for your convenience we have two conveniently placed cushions that also double as flotation devices that you may grab onto if the ride gets a little rough.

For once I hope this ride gets REALLY rough

All you have to do is say the magic word!

HARDER?

That works too... but you better hold on tight!

Honey I'll leave handprints

Oo god, you better stop now... I'm getting seriously turned on.

I didn't think it was possible but you are making even less sense than normal

So it just isn't me? I'm having a hard time figuring out what the hell he's trying to say most of the time. But this leaves me completely baffled. Excuse me while I go bang my head on the wall.

I want to rant about the fact that gnappy hasnt been here once since i started coming back. Where the hell is he? And Puppet too. WTF??

Stupid life getting in the way of rmm.
