Subject: Important Question: Are 24 Hour News Networks Necessary?

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Please allow me to introduce Myself

I've been thinking, are these networks doing any good in our society? Do they serve a purpose beyond self perpetuation?

I've been doing some thinking on what drives young American males to go on rampages, and one of the possibilities is the fame that comes bout from everyone knowing your name. Are some people making the choice to be famous for bing a monster vs not being famous at all?

Maybe the instant notoriety found from having your name repeated over and over again is the draw for these sick people.

Of course it's not all of it, but maybe a big part.

Nw, please keep the gun argument to other threads. I would rather this thread sink to page three before giving yet another place for that tired debate.

Please do not send me group invites.

Most certainly not. It leads to reporting lots of questionable information.

Guide to immortality : Sleep with Life

I had a pretty big time thread once.

Here's me bragging about it.

No of course not. Although I completely disagree with the notion that the Newtown shooting was purely for fame.

IMHO the only worthy news is international relations. Coverage of wars and conflicts over the globe.

Everything else seems small time. Maybe keep the civil matters and local crime in the papers. (Yes people still read the paper)

Worldwide news networks like Al-Jazeera, yes.

Networks like Fox and CNN that just repeat news ten times a day, no.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!
