I have no compassion for my fellow man.
None.

Ditto. *high fives*.

Just enjoy your life and forget all those sad excuses for human issues.

?You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. Your are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood.?

Just do what I do, prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

That and avoid stupid people at all costs.

-Warning, very depressing thread -

I can usually deal with this stuff, but today i have finally snapped. This is getting ridiculous!!! Has the world gone mad? Have we lost all shreds of common sense! What on Earth can we do to fix all of this! Is no one else banging their heads against the wall!!!

- France is thinking of banning the Burka in some places, even for people who WANT to wear them
- Certain European countries have banned the little towers on mosques, something akin to banning a cross on the tops of churches if I am not mistaken
- Australia is banning things left right and center, setting their standards like in 198-fucking-4
- In China, the ability to make cheap little plastic toys are more important than workers rights
- Religious nuts in the US are getting ridiculous amounts of attention and air time
- People are scientifically arguing that the world will end in 2012
- China doesn't give two shits what the world thinks of them anymore
- Canada is going frigging insane with its Olympic regulations
- The economy is in the crapper, yet thousands and thousands of people are spending way beyond their means
- The media is filled with more private interests than ever before
- And the cherry on top, this generation is going to live shorter lives than the last one, a trend not seen since the f*cking DARK AGES!!!
I...i just... this is all so..... AAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGGGG!!!!! *thump*

What can we do? What do you do? How do you cope? What is some light news?
-There is no substantial evidence that the world will end in 2012, from what I've heard there are no other ancient civilizations that say anything that substantial when it comes to 2012. Secondly, even the Mayans don't have anything to say, their calender just stops.

-Religious nuts have been ignored for hundreds of years, what's stopping you now?

-China is shifting from a communistic economy to a capitalistic, the shift will cause hardships as do all major societal changes.

-Politicians THINK about doing things all the time, more often then not that's as far as it goes. Health care reform anyone? (Thank God for that by the way).

-The days of purely objective media has long past, you have to search and use your intellect to find the station that seems to have your best interests in mind with their news programs and not that of some biased prick.

-Australia is fucked, sorry.

-Considering the massive amounts of risks that one runs when having such a huge event like the Olympics, at least now days, it's amazing that they don't require a two hour background check for every person who buys a ticket.

Consumerism is the answer.

Just kidding. Music actually is the answer. Specifically sexy music. Specifically sexy music that reminds us that we live in the sexiest period in history. Let's. All. Have. Sex. It's almost all we've got left.

This generation's going to live shorter lives than the last one? Can you elaborate, I feel I've missed something rather crucial. (and compared to the other news, quite relevant)

Part of me thinks "yeah the world is shit" but then again, none of this really has a huge effect on my day to day life personally, so at least I can sit back and watch idiots scramble frantically to fix their stupid shit by doing stupider shit.

People are stupid.
That's the sad reality.
They look for problems where there aren't any
They continually try and make the world more and more PC, which inflicts upon our rights to free speech, among other things
They think they are better than everyone else, purely because of arrogance

That's why I'm glad I have escapism to turn to.

Just turn off your TV. Don't check the web for news. Tune out.

Just try to make the best of what you've got and what you influence or have control over.

Nothing ever changes. The news is always bad. People worry over nothing. The only time people will have a chance to do anything about it, they will know it without having to watch the news, because it will involve them.

I agree with the anti-religious laws, but they should apply to both minaret and church. burka and jew-cap etc.

I'm generally a miserable bugger, and can usually find the dark side in everything.

Damn tho, there's a limit...

Ok, there's China, which I'm not sure has changed much since I was born, we're just having more info thrown at us.

All the racial and religious hate comes from us actually mixing more and being MORE integrated than we used to be and is actually a sign of things improving.

As for me personally, I don't think I'm REALLY that much worse off than I was 5 or 10 years ago, I'm sure some people are, but I genuinely don't believe we're all going to be starving in the streets a couple of years down the line, we're in a downturn, and soon enough we'll be back on the up, and things all work out in the end.

As so many before me have said, just don't worry about the news, they live thru scaremongering, simply relating facts is not enough any more.

I recommend Newswipe on BBC iPlayer as a nice behind the scenes look at how bloody idiotic news shows are.

Also, a vast amount of the more ridiculous stories about things getting banned, either by 'Europe' or 'the PC brigade' (who?) are entirely fabricated and only there to get a reaction, because it sells newspapers and its been shown a lot of people actually quite enjoy having a grumble about something. Combine that with the fact that as a national newspaper, you can pretty much print any bollocks over the front page and a double page spread inside, then a week later print an inch high 'sorry, we got some facts incorrect' on page 37, and that's all they need to do.

Why on earth wouldn't they tell us Belgium is banning bendy bananas or that muslim lesbian disabled asylum seeking benefit cheats are getting a free ferrari each?

Just ignore it and it won't really bother you, as I'm patently not proving right here :D

Wekk humanity is stupid, I used to get pretty upset about all the bad things, but I realised it didn't do any good, so I decided to simply not care anymore, and just focus on my own well being.

Soushi: (This has probably already been said, but I don't care)

The world has always, always been screwed up. It's not getting better or worse. Maybe it's getting faster, but that's all. Worrying fixes nothing.

Well, any issue about China can be solved by listening to Liberty Prime for three hours.

You'll feel much better.

Is there like a list of quotes for that? Because that was honestly the funniest thing I've ever heard possibly ever in a video game.
Yes, look it up on Youtube. Something like "Liberty Prime best speeches" should do it.

Watch this if you watched a certain awesome TV show when you were younger.

I guarantee it will cheer you up.
That show pissed me right off. As a kid, I'd always wonder why an Aardvark (yes, that is what arthur is supposed to be) is bigger than a puppy (as it happens, it only comes up to his ankle). Lots of other things annoyed me about the show, but that was the one that sticks for some reason.
It's a cartoon intended for kids. I highly doubt realism was one of the artist's top priorities.
