Yea, I got that picklez... lol. My point is that it shouldn't be a topic of discussion in the first place. More appropriate topics might be "why are we RE-electing officials who don't fulfill campaign promises?" Or "Why do the citizens ignore prominent issues over sensationalism such as 'OMG, Snookie's prgnant!' rather than 'Holy fuck, Congress just trashed the bill of rights with this law they just passed!!'" How about "Why do people expect the government to change if they're not willing to participate and affect that change in their own sphere of influence??"
The media isn't there to keep you informed. Its there to keep you distracted from the shit-hole our politicians are turning our country into!

I was being sarcastic.
Anyways, I agree with you, the media is nothing but a distraction.

and you're perpetuating the sensationalism by posting about it. So am I, but at least I'm trying to put it. In perspective with the BIG picture.
People are so upset about someone taking someone else's life under a legitimately legal amendment, yet. Hardly anyone's said a thing about our President deciding all on his own to be judge and jury. He assasinated two of our own citizens in cold blood. No trial, no jury of his peers, no proof. Of guilt presented... Just the DoD saying "He's a terrorist; a threat to national security", and Obama called in two drone strikes to kill him and his son.

because one is boring, complex, and requires me to think, and the other likely involves something easily digestible, lots of sex, and excitement
commercial media gives the consumer what they want, just like fast food joints. This is why cable news is so much more popular than the newshour (even though the later can be accessed free by anyone with a tv)

Wow, this case is getting ugly.
The judge revoked the bond of George Zimmerman today, meaning he has to surrender to sheriffs office within 48 hours and spend the entire length of this trial in jail
The case stinks now because the Martin family and the prosecutors are asking the judge to SEAL all discovery and evidence from the public!! They dont want all the facts of this case getting out. This is in direct violation of Florida State Law! We will see if the judge grants the request by the state and Martin family but we'll see... They dont want the public knowing all the facts!

If they don't want the public knowing all the facts, it means that the Martin family has something to hide. I could speculate on what it is they have to hide, but then I would just be doing what most cable news channels do, right? It's funny, because they have all these legal experts on their news shows, and they speculate and speculate and speculate, and the funny part is that after a while, the speculation seems to become the truth to most people. Almost like brainwashing really. Our whole society/civilization is in shambles. Let's all do a bunch of drugs n say fuck it.

Depending on the exact situation, I may well have possibly done the same thing Wouldn't do it if the kid was like running away or whatever. But if he was trying to like attack me or whatever, he may very well just have to get shot then Now, if I was getting jumped by 3 dudes or about to get jumped by 3 dudes, one of, if not 2 or all 3 of them fuckers is DEFINITELY gettin shot though if I got a gun on me lol. Whoever said they wouldn't, well, I don't know exactly what to say about that. They'd rather get jumped by 3 dudes than shoot one of them. That's just ridiculous

From the beginning I knew Zimmerman would be found not guilty.
Now I am wondering when the riots are gonna start.
