Human beings are addicted to negativity/doomsday/sky is falling

Prove me wrong


People are absolutely addicted to News, and news is constantly pumping negativity, argumentative crap into people’s heads because it sells, and positive stories simply do not. They may end with a positive, folksy, or whimsical piece every now and then, but it’s far from balance.

People are addicted to watching television series which constantly stirs up drama and shite, with personalities that do nothing but try and out smart arse comment the other smart arse comment, keeping things on a very negative level because that’s what we call entertainment. Somebody is always screwing somebody over, cheating, killing, or involved in some underhanded crap.

The movies that are being pumped out are almost all doomsday shite, from the outrageous number of zombie, apocalyptic, end of the world shite where humanity did something to kill themselves off, be it environmental (a real favorite of Hollyweird) or some meteor, alien, monster, etc that comes to exact revenge upon the bad people of earth.

Funny how this was actually brought out in yet another doomsday movie “The Day the Earth Stood Still” where Mr. Wu (alien) was speaking with Klaatu (alien) about how human beings sense their own eminent doom. That was one of the most honest things about humanity I’ve witnessed in a movie in quite some time.

Video games... Same thing

Politics, no middle ground, everyone to their far fringed corners and come out fighting the pure unadulterated evil that the other side represents because they are on the other side of the aisle.


People like to scoff at old TV shows like Leave it to Beaver, Andy Griffith, Father Knows Best, and so many others from that era that depicted an idealistic view of American life, calling it unrealistic and out of step, but is our current “programming” a realistic depiction of the way we really are, or not. Are we shaped by what we digest, or are we simply a mirror image of what is being portrayed?
