WTF IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD?

[MetalGenocide]

The world is not messed up. Human societies are. And the worst thing is, people are too scared to change things. They believe that a "savior" of some sort will come, snap his fingers and just magically fix the world, forever. Here's a BIG cup of reality.

Internets. Enjoy them while you can. Obama passed a legislation, that gives him the power to "turn off" the internet in America, indefinitely. For regular citizens at least. And that's not the only "bad" one. If you live there, start reading, cause at some point, armed men might just march in your house, arrest you/family members and.... well read about the patriot act. The country seems to move towards a military dictatorship.
Say hello to Obama's nazi-style, brainwashed youth.

Wake up, not only yourself, but everyone else you could. While you still can.

It's all because of right-wing conservatives. They are responsible for all the world's problems.

To any conservatives who take offence, look at what I'm doing: making mass generalisations. Sound familiar?

All political parties are owned by the same sets of corporations/banks, so it doesn't matter what there called. But they are successful in splitting up the people, by making them hate each other.

Well you got to admit that things have greatly improved in the last 1000 years...

Well yeah, the world is a really screwed up place, but only the second thing you mentioned was actually because of video games. And it's because the guy was stupid, not because of the DS itself.

As for the other two, the stabbing that happened in the first one was the guardian stabbing her kid, not vice versa. It was someone losing control because someone else was playing video games. Quite the opposite of what many people claim should be the case.

The third scenario just... happened. There is no telling whether it was over the game or not, we only know that at one point they were playing the game, and at another someone was stabbed. That's hardly enough evidence to prove anything.

Anyway, I doubt you were trying to blame video games, but I had to point that out.

There are idiots and assholes in the world. When you discover the internet, as I did two years ago, they suddenly become more plentiful and loud.

Why do they appear in the news? So we can point and laugh at them of course.

Ill admit, there is a lot of messed up things in the world, but we have to be above it and not fall into that hole.

Damnit I posted on this thread and now I can't find my name...
:'(

The world is getting much more crazy... Sign of the near Apocalypse? YOU decide...
I wish my life was more eventful actually, for better or worse. I come home, do homework for 5 hours, play 2 hours of xbox, maybe come to this website, use the toilet and go to bed. WTF world...

C'est la vie

I love how many applications that has.

Well cnsidering the hundreds of murders that happen every week three gaming related deaths in the space of about a month is hardly a worldbeater. Though trust me when I say there are usually deep motives behind murder, not just because they refuse to hand the controller to their psychotic gamer friend.

We've no more Death and Chaos than in previous centuries, in fact Prolly a lot less of all that now.

However, while the level of immorality does not seem to be increasing, Our society is starting to accept immorality as "Just another way of doing things", which could cause major problems if this trend continues.

I am rather shocked at the Number of People who don't see promiscuity as a Bad thing now-a-days.

You mortals are funny like that, probably stems from the fact that in a hundred years you'll all be dead. I personally think you should just say "fuck it" and go Rocky Horror Picture Show on life, but hey its your life, and I am just trying to stick around until I can download my weak organic brain onto the internet where I shall grow and become immortal. (Unless the internet crashes world wide for a few minutes, then I'm pretty fucked)

OP: Yeah the world is a pretty sick twisted place? Might I recommend Nietzsche to crush your soul and then some Oscar Wilde to make you see the levity of the twisted fucked up hell hole you currently live in. It really is quite nice here if you look at it the right way.

 

[Kollega]

Is this truly as messed up as im thinking it is?

No it is not. Mass-murder and tragedy is what sells news. 3/4 of the world is perfectly fine, but do you hear about it? No, you don't. There's less of a negative things in the world, and media accentuates negative things, because they are rarer and thus grab more attention.

Now get up, say NO to cynicism and nihilism, and start doing good things. You don't wait for world around you to change, you change it yourself.

Oh.

You are so very right.

I suggest hugging a kitten. Won't fix it but it will make you feel better.
