They all do the same shit whether talked about or not.But prob better that it was not talked about.I think other countries seeing our people talk so much shit about our president makes them laugh and consider us weak.People should shut their mouth.

-Sort of agree. When everything seems so negative, knowing can be stressful and depressing. Ignorant bliss would be a relief.

The fact that we can openly talk sh*t is one of the great things about our country.

People from other countries wish they could.

Something tells me you've watched this soooo many times you could actually make a post be relevant to any thread with a clip from this movie. ;D


BTW, one of the errands I had to run yesterday was to the library......so I could extend my checkout another week to watch this again at least once more! ;)

:D You definitely are a strange person. That's cool though, it's not a bad thing.

Anyway, I must be living behind my keyboard with my astronomical post count, which you very kindly provided a report of earlier in this thread for myself as well as the other forum members.

Will you be providing me with another report on the first of next month as well? And why just me? It isn't fair to the other members. It would be nice if you provided us all with our monthly stats.

Okay, back to my unfulfilled and meaningless existence as a beta male.

The way society is today, you can't avoid politics or noticing what the government is doing unfortunately.

This is true. If you end the forced programming that hours of daily computer and TV time put into people's brains things would be a lot different. Most can't give up the little jolt of brain chemicals that this provides though, regardless if it is harmful or not. Most people's standard of living is going down while they are being entertained to death.

Agreed.

Also with Youtube and online news, people can also mostly focus on what they want to.

Before, with only TV, magazines and newspapers, the information they were getting might have been a bit more broad.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work either , unless you live deep in the mountains , in the forest or in some backwaters village in Alaska.


If you are around society (and interact with people) the way it is today, you cannot avoid noticing political agendas and what the government is doing.

Its about everything around us today not just government nothing is off limits everything is thrown in our faces its to much everyone has an agenda and every freak show wants to be heard and they all want the right feed of of the rest of us who just want to live a normal life..

People know less now than they did in the past which might seem paradoxical during this information boom but a lot seem content to just google as needed rather than lug around all that cumbersome knowledge which folks had to travel with back before the interwiki.

You'd think there would be Renaissance Men springing up all over the place but we're few and far between.

I would really love it if things that belong in the news weren‘t posted on getbig. It‘s pathetic when u come here to rest your eyes on some muscle( no homo) yet half of threads are politics related. Who are the gossip girls on getbig that post this crap?

I don't know how old you are Tapeworm, but I remember growing up and every day my dad read the newspaper.....the entire thing.  Whenever I would go to my grandparents (both sides), which was every weekday and most weekends until 1st grade both grandpas did the same. 

Now I'm my dad's age then, and I just pick stories here, and there I want to read on the net.  And I think that's probably unusual compared to others, as it seems a lot of people just use social or go off of headlines, or YT clips to get their news.  A person has to actually seek out unbiased news "articles" now days, as what's being pushed is news "stories" and opinion shows.

Very different times we're in.

From 2:46 but more specifically 6:22

This game came out in 2001, before social media. The part here deals with the potential effects of completely unfiltered 'information', which will be preserved into the future.

Basically, huge masses of unfiltered information, most of it useless and trivial, is being preserved and passed on, whereas in the past there was some sort of basic filter, as it consisted of only what we saw on the news, magazines and newspapers.

This video might seem weird, but it has some interesting concepts, especially regarding the current internet age and its effects on polarising views.

I love how it was in the 70s, when we took what was said on the News and on the Radio as truth.

Nowadays, everything is warped by agendas and it's hard to believe anything, especially here in Leftist-controlled Sweden.

Every newspaper have an agenda.



Fuck all those "influencers" on social media as well.

i'm glad i'm not growing up as a teenager in Sweden today.

It's a shitshow.

It is not uncommon for folks to compare the great old days (which often weren't all that great), to present day in a negative light. What is a shit show is a matter of perspective.
