I am not a fan of talking head shows.
I am, however, a fan of the Talking Heads. |
rob im normally not on people for much but why are you making a big fit over these types of shows? yes i agree they arent the most informative, they are very biased, slanted, and dont give you enough information to be very educated in the subject. but cant you take it for what it is? informational for people who have NO CLUE? its a great way to get a small tidbit that causes you to research it more on your own. thats the point of these types of shows. to spur people into thinking about things. taking action. researching things. they arent made to be taken as total fact.

while i dont disagree they may be pricks, that doesnt change the content or the importance (or lack thereof depending on the issue) of the information at hand. if i murder someone, and some prick is the one talking about it, does that detract from the story? it sure as hell shouldnt and thats my point. the story at hand is still in some way important (not necessarily to everyone of course) and they are relaying information. |

eh, well they usually they a normal story and put extreme views on it, its part of their job i guess, to be controversial but it gets annoying fast. the fact that they talk about a story for sooooooooooo long gets annoying too. but i guess that is the problem with the main news outlets now a days, they obvsessed with stories and dont let them go. Sending 3 reporters to the scene, bringing a psychologist in the studio and a behavioral therapist and anyone that knew the victim/accused. :/ |

i feel the same way. i don't know much about this situation but the ppl who saw it occur must have been first shocked and then called 911. we don't know whether they were middle aged women. i think most of us would think twice engaging a violent criminal. this whole hero bull is stuff of hollywood. its easy for us on a message board to say we'd kicked his ass. |

everything in the news is sensationalized. so yes i agree that the same story is repeated WAYY too many times. case in point: anna nicole smith. :) its stupid but its the way it is. it is unfortunate.

yeah. its really hard to say what you would do if youve never experienced being in that situation. especially with violent criminals. want to make sure you can do something? keep a basball bat in your trunk, but make sure there is also a baseball glove there too otherwise they can get ya for illegally carrying a concealed weapon. |
