Have we become a "Jerry Springeresque" society?

Question

Are people only looking to pounce on their opposition here?
How long before our government officials start wrestling and cat fighting in session like you see in other countries?

Answer 1

I fear we have, dear Kelly.

Just read the "Immigration" section of YA. It's scary!

Answer 2

The worst thing that could possibly happen is already being done, lawmakers and representatives no longer look for common ground or a consensus that would make for good law but merely to run to the media with opposition to whatever the other guy is for. Does'nt matter that they don't have any other idea themselves to offer, its enough to just shoot the other guy down. After all with elections every couple of years they never get out of campaign mode. Any publicity is good as long as you get your air time(ie:paris or brittaney). Good greif look at the nonsense going on right now its a full year to any meaningful moments before an election and they are already going at it. oooh I think I'm going to be sick now. pass me the remote Springers on.

Answer 3

honesty and commutation is the key to avoid this.... but hey when officials are wanting there bills to be passed for money and when money is the main objective than you will have fighting and as you say Jerry Springersque. People don't realize they are only hurting them selves when they cheat and steal from others cause sooner of later you are the one getting cheated and stole from.
