I mean, number 22 is great, but does it really deserve to be that high?

(awaits flaming) | They aren't ranked in any particular order, but you have obviously have to look at them in some sort of sequence. Hovers 3 picks are right in the middle.
And you know what, that guy and his dog may invoke something in someone that the other pictures don't. |

No. 10 is the best photo. |

...and quit glorifying war. War sucks and it's sucking the life and financial stability out of our country. |

Stopped watching the news like 12 years ago. I feel fine. And so far I've not missed much. I hope the pebble rolling down the hill one day runs out of snow.. |

War sucks and it's sucking the life and financial stability out of our country. | I would say that some of the images captured moments of celebration and happiness, though depending on your point of view, those images may also be negative. For example, number 42 is either a joyous wedding or a devastating flood, depending on what perspective you take when pondering the significance of the moment. Likewise, number 40 is either a triumph for civil rights, or the downfall of society, depending on your opinion of gay rights. I think I'm going to have to agree that there were too many unpleasant images on that list. There are many unfortunate things happening in the world today, but I believe there are also positive things that the media prefers to hide from us. |

I'd much rather have an understanding of what is happening in the world than delude my consciousness with silly sitcoms, reality shows, and movies with Seth Rogen in them, nonstop.

All we ever hear about or see in the media is negative until someone mentions "the troops"... And don't get me wrong, I have family in the military & respect for what they do. I'm just sick of the glorification of war; so sick of it that it really does make me angry.
I have an idea... Let's watch the news one night this week and see how many stories are of shootings, robbings, murders, and attacks & how many are stories of good things and people doing good for one another. I'm guessing it will be about a 7:1 ration. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
