I'm sure cancer or drunk driving kills more people than prowrestling, but because one man had a fucked up weekend all of the sudden "we have to do something about this problem" when there's still a goddamn senseless war going on, people are still dying of cancer, children are still fall victim to soulless perverts... But it makes good tv. That's all it is. It's not about fucking news anymore. God forbid a news place gives us something FUCKING RELEVANT because it's all some god forsaken ratings drive. Let's talk about the war in Iraq like it's a footnote, talk about wrestling, sports, local news, and a fucking heartwarming story about a kitten that was stuck in a fucking drain pipe. Let's ignore how social security is getting abused, ignore the fact that there are people dying of AIDS and they're in pain because the health care system in this fucking country is driven by money and not by health, let's turn a blind eye to everything that doesn't pull in the ratings because in this media hyped country it's not worth a damn. There are bigger problems in this country than drug use in wrestling, like drug use on the street. I don't know. I'm just pissed off at a lot of things and this just sorta set me off.

Fourfifty, the irony is that you're behaving just like the "mindless mainstream." The only difference is who you're defending.

I mean, this "Focus on wrestling" is utterly retarded, and if you'd spent any real time looking at where the media is focused, or how much time had actually been spent on issues like social security and Iraq, you'd have to be retarded.

Come on, man, be less of a spoiled child and look at the stupid shit you've said. You bitched about the SEC looking into a publicly traded company for defrauding people because Congress had better things to do. Really? Does the SEC have something better to do than to look into investor fraud?

You bitch about a "focus" on wrestling. I don't think you have a fucking clue what you're talking about. Not a single fucking clue. If you did, you wouldn't make a statement as patently stupid or false as that one. The media spends more time on sexual predators than on wrestling. CNN does, even with their silly little special investigation and their Larry King discussions.

Do you watch a lot of news? Look at a lot of programming, or are you one of these people who hears about a couple of programs or a single AP feed on a wrestling forum and you bitch like Fox viewers do about the "liberal media" without ever having flipped on another channel? Do you have any idea what the content of the news is on a regular basis? Do you have any idea what other things Congress is doing right now, or the SEC specifically? Do you really think that dedicating an extra hour to the War in Iraq will somehow end it sooner? Or maybe pedophillia will end if we just spent that one extra Larry King discussing it instead of Wrestling? Are you really that naive?

Or did the content override the thinking portions of your brain, and leave you ranting like a moron?

There are bigger problems in America, and they get more time. and nothing still gets solved. And all this bitching about focus? With all the focus on the war in Iraq in the last election cycle, did we vote for an overwhelmingly anti-war Congress? Or an anti-War President? Howabout the midterms? No? We're still in Iraq, with all that focus?

Then shut the fuck up.

And I hope to God you were out there this vocal when the baseball steroids issue showed up. It took a lot more time away from the precious, undertalked issues, and I'd hate to think that you were only bitching about this issue from the hypocritical stance of inconvenience.
