I am SOO scared! Why doesn't the GOVERNMENT do something?!?!?!
No really, in the 80s I was scared of nuclear war, thanks to a certain, badly written movie about nuclear war and surving it in the mid-west (lot o' nightmares from that one!), in the 90s I was frightened of GANGS and DRUGS! Thank you Clinton for shipping the gangs OUT of LA and INTO MY county and town (BTW, all that happened was instead of LESS gangs, MORE were created where there was NONE before!). And now here we are in the '00s! We 'survived' the computer viruses from the end of the century (remember that? Not ONE plane dropped out of the sky when the year rolled over, did it?), And of course, 9/11 was also a big fear event (although, didn't this same group try to blow up the WTC earlier? Didn't work so much then, but we didn't go to war with anyone over it either (and STILL never caught the guy that masterminded THAT one either).
Now, I hear the Globe is going to overheat! The waters will boil away, the air will become unbreathable to humans, etc. AND, as if that wasn't enough to be scared of; SOME MEDICINES COULD CAUSE DEATH!
AND EVERY political group PROMISES a change, but so far NOT ONCE HAS THIS CHANGE HAPPENED! NOT ONE TIME!
But wait, it goes on - apparently workiing GRAVEYARD SHIFTS can cause CANCER!!!! UUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!! When will it EVER end? Who do I have to go 'POSTAL' on to STOP this FEAR MONGERING, mongering that has been going on FOREVER!!!

I HEAR YA WALT!!! it's ...
I HEAR YA WALT!!!
it's about to be "the Day After Tomorrow" up in this bitch!!!
btw that was a great ...
btw that was a great movie! lol!
but yeah every decade ...
but yeah every decade there's always ALWAYS something "new" to scare us. I remember the movie from the 80's you're talking about "the Day After"!! and who can forget "Juice","Colors", "Boyz in the Hood" and "South Central" from the 90's! now we have our pick of global warming movies too. oh and what about "Deep Impact" and "Armageddon" too, with those asteroids hitting the earth?! UUUGGGHHHHH!!! AAAAARRRRR!!!
I hope graveyards don't ...
I hope graveyards don't cause cancer....clint would have it, but then again I can collect insurance and pay off bills. Or buy me a new car, or new house, or pay for the kids college....or wait....what?
That is a load of bullshit!! Ya think?
So, because you are tired ...
So, because you are tired of hearing of bad things that happen you have decided that sticking your head in the sand and ignoring them all is the best solution? I must be crazy because I don't like toxins and other real hazards. I don't like hearing about them either but I also don't want to ignore them and then die because of ignorance. You promote ignorance because you do not LIKE to know about hazards? That's the sickest thing I can think of. You know of a problem that could kill you, and others around you, but you just don't LIKE it so you complain and complain that the messenger should be killed because the messenger brought you the bad news rather than take on the harder job of DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT. That's just too sick for me to be able to comprehend. How were YOU raised? I was always taught to confront problems and do whatever I can to solve them, not to COMPLAIN about them and pretend they don't exist which is the "easy way out" but not really.
naw, I don't think it's ...
naw, I don't think it's like THAT TGIX, it's just that everytime you turn around, we see/hear about something "new" that's gonna kill us! I guess it's good to know this but it is kind of a downer too, like you can't even enjoy life cuz we have to worry so much about this and that.
That's about as logical ...
That's about as logical as outlawing water because of the people who drown in it. You must have something very funny in the water you're drinking to think that way Walter.
And navybrat76, believing the bible and the world is ending is a perfectly good excuse to do whatever you want since we're all going to die anyway as you say. Good one! Try that in court when you're about to be sentenced for whatever it is you took the liberty to do in violation of the rights of others. It's just plain sheer insanity to think that way. Get a grip on reality. Everyone who has EVER EVER said that the world is coming to and end HAS BEEN WRONG WRONG WRONG. HELLOOOOOO!!!!!! We are ALL STILL HERE! THEY WERE WRONG! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT THOSE CRAZED FOOL IDIOT BIBLE THUMPERS ARE RIGHT THIS TIME WHEN THEY'VE BEEN WRONG EVERY SINGLE BLASTED TIME UNTIL NOW? I've seen stupid people before but that one ALWAYS takes the cake! How many times can they be wrong until you will finally realize what a crock all that doomsday bull fucking shit is? Like it or not, we're stuck here in the mess we've made and we CAN make it better. That takes work, HARD work. SURE it's easier to believe in all that doomsday idiocy because then you can go around saying "why bother", why bother to make an effort, and the LAZY will do that. Get off your LAZY ASS is what I say and DEAL. DEAL WITH IT. DEAL WITH REALITY. Sure it's harder but it's more rewarding too. We aren't all going POOF today just as we didn't go POOF yesterday or the day before or the day before and some smart assed bible thumper said we would every single day. They were wrong, still are, always will be. Get off your lazy asses people and MAKE this world better. That is how it gets better - NOT by sitting around going "WOE IS ME, WE'RE ALL DOOMED ANYWAY SO WHY BOTHER?" That is the chicken shit easy way lame ass way out of doing what you need to do. I hope that's clear. If you need any clarification just look around you and see if the world ended while you did that. NO, it didn't. Did you make it a better place while you waited for it to magically go poof and end? No it didn't. Now try doing something positive. That's God's work. That makes things better. Give it a try. You'll see. It's amazing how it works. Work makes for better things. Good work that is. Sitting around, lazyness, idle hands, those do the devil's work.
