The constant information feed into my mind presented by powerful media channels, information of most things that happen, have happened, could happen and could have happened all over the world from the past right to the future. Where the time present where I should be? Why one earth I need to know, the first thing in the morning, that somewhere thousands of mile away something has happened? I am simple person, and do I need highly efficient and professional people in the job to tell me in most effective ways, using most sophisticated tools of the trade, in most vivid details, about all horrible tragic and catastrophic events of the world? People dying, flood, hurricanes, crime, abuse, court cases, celebrity rehabs and jails, loveless marriages and guiltless divorces, political agendas, spins and overthrows, fat people, ultra thin anorexic people, traffic outrages, felled trees, broken roofs, tugs caught on CCTV camera, planet’s funniest animals and less so funny comedians, conspiracy theories, bad movies and propaganda documentaries, I know them all.
But do I have to, or can I choose not to?

People's need to be accepted. I think that people are so concerned with the way they look and act around other people that they can't ever be happy with them-self.
We obsess over celebrities for God knows why. Do they read news about us? I don't think so. Even though I do things far more interesting then them, I'm not noticed because I don't have money.
People have a crazy amount of paranoia when it comes to health safety. Do you think it really matters if someone doesn't wash the fruit at the grocery store? We survived for thousand of years without ANY sanitary measures. I don't think that a little dirt is going to hurt anyone.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony . You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you.

One of the things that makes no sense to me is when I see teenagers smoking.
Past generations didn't really know all the risks attached to smoking and by the time they did know they were hooked on this powerful drug.
But today's kids are educated about the dangers of smoking. Some as early as 2nd or 3rd grade.
Is it peer pressure or rebelliousness or just plain stupidity in thinking they are invincible.

The clothes that models wear in the magazines. I am like, so laughing because they look ridiculous. Did their 5 year old brother dress them or where they too drunk to care if they matched?Can a model refuse to wear something if she thinks it is hideous? Poor girls.
Then every other page trying to sell me these outfits for as much as I pay in rent. Please, you have to be kidding me. If my own sister wore that, I would make her change.
Are women so afraid of their own taste that they have to have a crazy gay guy tell them what to wear?

People dying in the third word due to unhygienic water / lack of water. Or from preventable disease when the immunisations only cost mere penny's.
