Got moved to hot topics for magical reasons! But really tho this is not the first black person that said they are part of the problem. Marcus Gravey said the same thing in the 1920's.

The government and the media are the main problems with America.

The media isn't allowed to air things that will invoke a negative or panicking reaction. It's like the people don't have a right to know the correct information about what's going on in the world.

The line between can and cannot know information has become blurred over the years and people have become selfish arrogant jerks. If there is even the slightest bit of information that it is possible to get offended at - EVEN IF THEY AREN'T OFFENDED THEMSELVES - they will get pissed off and try to sue someone for it.

Everyone needs to grow up.

There needs to be like this big guy standing on every corner of ever street that slaps the back of the head of every moron in the country that does something retarded.

"OMG THOSE SQUIRRELS ARE HAVING SEX! I'M SUING THE TOWN FOR EXPOSING PORNOGRAPHY TO MY CHILDREN WHO AREN'T EVEN AT HOME RIGHT NOW!"

But you know what? That isn't even the biggest problem. The biggest problem is the fact that these people can actually get away with suing for retarded reasons an actually WIN! Of course people will keep doing it... "If some lady can sue a park for tripping over an acorn and breaking her leg and win, then I can totally do something like that too!"

So let me get this straight, you said earlier that the media cannot air things that may provoke a negative reaction correct? So you are saying that the media can't air things that make the government look bad and can't say things that may be truthful? The media has the right to say whatever they want.

But of course you only want to hear the happy stuff in your life, I guess that means you live in some kind of Utopia. Whats That

The reason why we have so many media channels and stations is cause we have so many sources and each source (such as CNN, foxnews, etc.) has there own look on it. Meaning it may not be "wrong" or "incorrect" information that they report. So you can't really watch and listen to the news and expect it to be totally correct, because that would make you naive. In order to get the clear picture of any situation you have to watch more than one new channel and when doing so you have to take it with a grain of salt. Or else you will just be walking around scared and hiding in your house all day crying because of the sad and cold world that is sitting outside.

No, you misread me.

The government controls the media to the degree that they don't want the public going into a panic if something bad were to happen.

It's not about making one group look better than another, which might be the case from time to time anyway, but it's about the government thinking without the consent of the people.

From the government's perspective, it's better to keep the public ignorant of matters that they believe they can handle in secrecy.

IMO, the worst people are the ones who REALLY DO feel offended over the slightest thing, and will be sure to tell you juzt how much their feelings have been hurt and stalk off with a digified expression.

Also, massively spread false spam. I'm not a big fan of Obama, but it irritates me to see emails shooting around showing "proof" that he's doing horrible things behind the scenes.

Oh, I agree. I wasn't saying Obama did so, I was expressing my annoyance at those hastily-spread and often untrue rumors.

Here are two (non-president-related) ones where the person spreading the rumor acts all horrified at why so-and-so would do this and how so-and-so should be shamed and blah blah... but the rumor turns out to be utter BS:

I agree with you on that. they are hastily spread and 90% of the time untrue. Yet people all over the world still believe them knowing this... don't you think by now they would learn?

Oh and nice examples... no wonder people break the law in Illinois[/off topic]

It's not even emails. It's just word of mouth.

Like that whole "Obama is a Muslim" rumor. Who the crap cares?! What difference does it make?
