Journal stefanlasiewski's Journal: We now return you to your regularly scheduled program. 9

Journal by stefanlasiewski on Thursday March 20, 2003 @01:18AM

So I finally turned on the Television, expecting to see live footage of reporters about happenings in Baghdad, or experts talking to former Secretaries of Defense about strategy, or something.

Instead, I see all the normal programs: Survivor, American Idol, sitcoms... one news program talking about the war (With ironically, Jim Miklaszewski).

It's like it never happened...

    American Idol, nor any other show like that, is on FOX News Channel. Shepard Smith is anchoring right now.
    
    You do know that FOX has several different channels, right? FX, FOX News, FOX network, etc.

People are bored with the war. I am bored with it too, although for different reasons. I have a long attention span. But we are just playing their game. Let's play something else.
Politics is boring. Let's not talk politics any more. I'd rather talk about religion instead.

  Well there is boredom, and their is shock and depression.
  
  I'm bored of the news, because it's usually the same reporters spouting the same information every day "Blah blah, general so-and-so said something about the city of Basra, and I'm just going to repeat the party line again again without doing my own investigation ... blah blah blah".
  
  But I'm also shocked and depressed... I've got several other big stressful events going on (such as my job search), and watching bombs destroy cities and people is too m

    I don't think that humans were designed to handle all of that at once...
    I think you might be surprised what humans were designed to handle. It takes work, though, which is why we need to develop a viable religious practice.
    I want to get some religious discussions going. I have posted some religious opinions in my journal. Let's talk about that instead of all this blood and gore, shall we?
