Highway Heros

Unread postby MD » Tue 19 Aug 2014, 06:57:24

You don't have to look very hard to find lots of fire and smoke on the highway where normal Americans rush to put out fires and save lives in the process. You don't have to look hard at all. IT'S WHAT WE DO IN REAL LIFE!

(no video links. do your own research. share if u want.)

Yet our main stream media seems to be entirely focused on the Flash Mob that is currently occurring in Ferguson.

Americans should be hanging their heads in shame over this one.

Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.

Just think it through.
It's not hard to do.

Too touchy a subject for y'all?

Sorry MD, I pay very little attention to the mass media because they are all incredibly narrowly focused on whatever cause their editors think is interesting at this moment. Most of the time it is about something Kardashian or Jay Z or some other personality I know nothing about and care even less about.

Your point is taken that we are more interested in seeing the difference and hatred rather than the good side.

Such is human nature.

It's not the media it's the consumers, they just provide what we want.

I think the media owners and advertisers have something to do with it.
