Either the nation the media is getting more sensitive and sensational to everyday occurrences
Quote from: EscapeVelocity2020Either the nation the media is getting more sensitive and sensational to everyday occurrencesThings are better than they've ever been in history. Don't fall into the common trap by thinking what you see on the evening news is at all representative of how often these type of events have occurred historically.
Not that I frequent Hooters or a similar establishment called 'Twin Peaks', but https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB8QqQIwAGoVChMItr3D3aTpyAIVBXgmCh14ogoT&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2Fvideos%2Fus%2F2015%2F10%2F29%2Fwaco-biker-shooting-surveillance-video-lavandera-pkg.cnn&usg=AFQjCNHEXGaEfgcB7vfGw8Y62CJ0qm8fHA&sig2=Ijo9mp7-njLTnQfywDvmpgAnd this is just one of many 'sensational national stories' this week. Either the nation is getting more sensitive and sensational to everyday occurrences, or things are getting worse. http://www.khou.com/story/news/local/2015/10/28/katy-isd-responds-to-teachers-controversial-assignment/74778804/Please excuse my lazy and elderly cut and paste, but I wanted people to be able to see what I'm worried about. It's definitely getting weird around here and I hope anyone and everyone can comment. Is it better or worse elsewhere?Not that I'm worried, mind you, since I'm on this site and have my shit together. But Mustachians probably see these things in the news and wonder WTF, or maybe it's just me?
