(EDIT: This is in response to Reil's post)Which brings me to how much I can't stand our news. They fucking trivialize everything, especailly in the case of 9/11. I was pretty shocked to start out. Then a week later I was numb to it. A week later it was a fucking joke. I could care less and all the blind patriotism was annoying me. Worse shit has happened. So many more innocent people have died in our occupation of the Middle East.
The tsunami news here always starts of with "8 Americans dead" or "many Americans missing". Who gives a fuck? Over 100,000 people are going to be dead with their homes and lives destroyed. I'm amazed that people aren't more responsive to this. This tragedy really makes you think about how pointless and silly our day to day lives are.
I wish I would have written something a little more eloquent to start out this thread. I didn't mean shit by it and I figured it would be taken as a playful jab. I'm just trying to say that a show like that makes you guys no better than ignorant Americans. Why bring yourselves down to their level? It's bullshit to lable an entire country as a bunch of idiots. Yes they are in the majority, but there are so many interesting and worth while people here. I guess my response was just my way of saying, fuck off, I'm not one of them. Not to mention I was joking.
