You should probably do something about that.

I was talking about the same thing yesterday.

 

Life goes on
/thread

 

The fact that you're paying more attention TO Perez Hilton INSTEAD of news/websites that actually matter, THAT'S the problem.

 

why would you want perez hilton to mention the attacks. if anything him reporting on the incident could be a potential catastrophe.

 

Reading his book it almost seems as if the whole attack occurred becuase he couldn't get 3 million euro's to fund publishing costs and saw this is the best route of 'marketing'. I feel sick. The fact that he was able to articulate his thoughts and lived a normal life (with friends and be was close to his mother) blows my mind.

I find this chilling. Play this:

Clint Mansell - Lux Aeterna

Then read this:

"I can't possibly imagine how my state of mind will be during the time of the operation, though. It will be during a steroid cycle and on top of that; during an ephedrine rush, which will increase my aggressiveness, physical performance and mental focus with at least 50-60% but possibly up to 100%. In addition, I will put my iPod on max volume as a tool to suppress fear if needed. I might just put Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell on repeat as it is an incredibly powerful song. The combination of these factors (when added on top of intense training, simulation, superior armour and weaponry) basically turns you into an extremely focused and deadly force, a one-man-army. At the moment, I do not fear death, but I am very concerned about being afraid on the day of the mission. I'm afraid that the potential fear I might experience during the mission will paralyze me or will result in me "crapping my pants" so to speak. Theoretically, this will not happen, as I have grown to be extremely mentally disciplined and I have undergone numerous hours of training and simulations. Nevertheless, it is impossible to properly simulate a martyrdom operation so I am still somewhat concerned for my mental state during that time."

 

Just listening to Pac, ain't got make it stop.

 

The more fycked up bit is people get their news for perez hilton and not the proper news channels.

Lol why are y'all bashing the OP for his news source? thats not what the thread is about but I agree the world is fucked.

True. But what we can do about it? It is what it is. Let's make the best of it

 

you're mad that a celebrity gossip wrote about celebrity gossip as opposed to international current events?

 

The world has been fucked ever since humans came into existence.

thats not the main point OP was making. just an example. a bad example, yes, but still.

Then I'm lost, because all I see is stuff about Norway, and Winehouse isn't getting much attention at all outside of TMZ type shows, etc.

I just clicked on CNN.com and norway is the main cover story. if you scroll down the left hand side. there's one line about Amy Winehouse. It's like the 5th story under other news.

 

That's exactly the problem with people today.
They're so far removed from the real world.
They're only concerned with what comes through their favorite channel on the tube, Justin Beibers new hair cut, who that Kardashian chick is banging, or what their favorite musician had for dinner last night...

World news, local news, world politics, local politics?
The vast majority of the population couldn't care less.
They don't care so their definitely not going to seek this information.

It's sad really.

 

honestly, it's because most people that you guys associate with are kids, and that's what kids are interested in. the stations most of you guys watch, the people you guys talk to, etc are all going to be geared towards popular culture and they younger generation.

You think our parents and other people 40, 50, 60 and up are learning about the Kardashians or Amy Winehouse? nope. They're watching politics, world news, local news, weather, etc. I can guarantee you that my grandmother has been watching the Norway stuff all day, and if i ask her who amy winehouse is, she won't know.

 

we have multiple worlds?

duhh.  have you every seen a 60 year old try to use a computer?

bc 91 people dead > 1 person dead
simple mathematics

what are you getting at? do you not agree that the Norway incident is getting it's fair share of attention, just not through the mediums that our youth run to?

 

If you're on Perez Hilton it's obvious you're more important.
Oslo Massacre just ain't got that HYPE.
