Boo Hoo Terri this Terri that

[F L E S H]

Fuck this crap.

Millions of children die of starvation everyday. Millions die alone, forgotten, in intense pain and suffering. Some of these people are dieing in the very cities you live in.

But wait, oh no! There's this one girl who had an accident 15 years ago, now she's a vegetable, let's make it front page news! Let's forget about the war for a second.... What the hell is this place called Iraq? Osama who? Bush did what? None of that's important, because for the the love of God Terri's dieing! Oh no! Quick, let's arrange a congressional hearing, because one person is dieing!


Man, you guys are stupid. If only you devoted all this energy to things that really mattered... Education, healthcare (not for one person, but the entire country, and for other countries in need).

Terri's case is an awful one, and it seems to polarize the general public pretty effectively. I don't think its any more awful than those children dying, and the media are making a circus out of it. Disgusting really, they don't care, they just want a story.

Whether or not I side with Terri however, those fucks who walk around with the signs are just idiots who overcomplicate the matter.

You're better at being diplomatic than I am :D
I'm just really getting sick and tired of hearing about this chick every single day, when so much other shit is happening all the time. We only hear about what the media tells us, and they tell us about .5% of what really matters, and they're lying about 75% of the time... That makes .125% of the news trustworthy.

Maybe, but I'd trust 'em anyways :D.

Sounds like your typical extremist pro-lifer.

[weirdo79]

LOL , theres some nice logic for you. "if you kill one person I'll kill a whole building"....idiots...Somebody's parents did a bad job with that nutter...

[sawleaf]

Well I'd rather hear about this than Michael Jackson all the damn time. The media is ridiculous. Aren't there any good stories to cover???

[pisshead]

i can think of a few dozen stories that should be top story front page news that get on the major wires, but are filtered out by the time it gets on FOX or CNN or your local news or newspaper.

[amsterdam]

me too,fuck the msn.

[Funken Monken]

boycott the media, full stop, (or 'period' if you are American)

[amsterdam]

full stop,well put kind sir.

[Button Basher]

Lol, nice FLESH! Have to say i'm with you on that one.

Terri, Terri, Terri, WHAT ABOUT MY NEEDS!!

There certainly are, buddy. But they don't really want us to know much now, would they?

Knowledge is power. Whoever holds control of the dissemination of knowledge and information holds the power to do quite literally anything he wants, whether it's your president or the the most totalitarian dictor ever (Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, etc.).

[amsterdam]

the internet has all the stories anyone could ever want.there must be a thousand great news sites.the msm is done.

[Stedric]

Yes the advent of the internet has made knowledge more widespread, you just have to know where to look. Boycott the media, I'm with you guys on that.

[amsterdam]

it's wierd to think that not to long ago there was only 3 major players in television news.

[F L E S H]

Yeah, there is alternative news on the net. Hopefully its growing popularity will force the mainstream to take heed and maybe change their ways a little. Fuck, I'm so stoned I'm dizzy, but I can type better than usual... :)























:D

[amsterdam]

i think they are already starting to change their way's.the internet and bloggers now hold them accountable for their bullshit and they are not liking it.

[amsterdam]

shiavo's parents were not allowed to see her before she died.that's messed up.

[Nullific]

Look for news sources that are none profit and not affiliatied with any corporations or government agencies.
For example the Independent Media Institute.

i trust pbs to cnn or fox news any day of the week.

[amsterdam]

pbs believe it or not receive millions from the govt.even though they say thet are public broadcasting and do fundraisers.millions

[llamaman666]

It is important because it lays out people right.
I say get a living will, then we won't have this issue. I support whatever Terri wanted before she went through her accident. From what I see it is death, so I support it. If there is a more convincing thing that says she wanted life do that. but to late

[smokinindausa]

I agree, who the hell cares if a brain-dead lady dies? In darhfor (spelled wrong im sure), thousands are dying. The tsunami victims are still suffering. There are so many civil wars you havn't even heard about all of them. It just shows the stupidity of most people (not just Americans), and hopw the media is just out to make a buck.

However, it IS pretty stupid that they starve her to death. Why not use a nitrogen-asphyxiation chamber (completely painless way to die. Only Indiana uses it in 1 prison for the death penalty). Imagina going into a room where you FEEL like you can breathe just fine, but begin to feel drowsy... and fall asleep.... FOREVER.

[ModernSatanist]

Fuck this crap.

I couldn't agree more.

Thats why i usually only read news stories from Crazyreports.com (http://crazyreports.com/).

[Nullific]

Im an American...I don't know who or how Mexico or Canada are ruled.
I really wish I did, but its these fucking public schools.

[cortezbuddha]

National Public Radio and BBC are the best. Fox is fucking stupid. CNN is alright. PBS is still americanized as shit. NPR and BBC are straight up the best sources for news that hasn't been fucked up by the American media. I hate the American media!!!

Interesting...personally I think CNN is quite possibly the worst and most americanized of all of them.

[smokinindausa]

Dude, you think.... the.... BBC.... is fair and balanced.... excuse me while i vomit.

Try browsing thier web page and you will understand that they are pretty fucking liberal.

NPR is too, but to a lesser degree. I agree that NPR is the best major American newsscource. And I agree with stedric that CNN is the worst.

[weirdo79]

(keep this in mind im not a liberal but the "demonized" version of the name calling of people who dont agree with you as being "liberal" forces me to do this har har)

Yeah those damn liberal's....If it wasnt for liberals them damn black people would still be slaves, and those women would be still barefoot and pregnant and wouldnt have a say in the vote. And, we could continue the drug war unabated without these silly facts cropping up....

Abraham Lincoln was a republican and about as liberal as they come......Put that in your pipe and smoke it...(also for every one of you that smoke pot and shout/say "republicans/conservatives/neo cons" are great just bite yourself in the ass every time. Who do you think supports the drug war more "liberals" or "conservatives"....)

Hypocrisy is hilarious.....

[moomoo]

right on Weirdo! couldnt have said it better!
