    I get your point, but this thread was not political at all until several of you made it so. And everyone who made it political was trying to make light of what happened today in Boston. So, who exactly is overplaying it?

    It's interesting how quickly people like Pressed Rat will jump in to let everyone know that the government is at fault, before having any time to gather and comprehend any information about the incident. You're the same as the 'sheep' you love to feel superior to, you're just the other side of the coin.

    Except you are the sheep here.

    Automatically blaming the government is no different than blaming the unseen boogeyman(men) you believe did it.

    So this event has had achieved much of what it intended.

    Invoke fear, division, mistrust of each other, the media and the government.

    And even people at this site contribute by spreading rumors, innuendos, arm chair detections, and lame theories.

    THis is it isn't it... When Americans are on the receiving end, you describe it as a "tragedy". When someone else gets 150, 000 X as many deaths, its "mere politics" according to you.

    And you wonder why this happens?
    Yes, who IS "overplaying it"...

    This level of double standards is pretty pathetic...

    And you're implying the media and government should be trusted?

    The media is to blame for turning a personal tragedy into a nationwide tragedy. And even an international one, since I know about the death of two people in some far off country that I don't care about.

    Not saying the tragedy for those involved is any less though.

    negged for saying the government was involved in this?

    Seriously, would it really be all that surprising if they were...? They're willing to take down their own towers killing thousands, so why wouldn't they be capable of doing this?

    I'm not implying that it was the government for sure, I'm just saying don't be so close minded... weirder shit can happen

    All the information I get outside of my yard comes to me from second hand sources. "The Media" is one of those secondary sources, it consists, in my case, of the major news networks and cable channels, NPR, books and magazines and the internet. I don't "trust" any one source exclusively but listen to each in turn, evaluate what I hear, and then form tentative opinions.

    I don't suggest you trust anyone, but I also don't jump to conclusions about unfolding events.

    It's a complicated world out there and anytime I think I have it figured out, I stop and rethink. I only trust my own conclusions to a certain degree, let alone anyone else's, and I certainly don't think the U.S. government is behind everything. I don't think they're that smart.

    If you don't trust any media, I don't understand how you can form any opinions at all.

    Let me guess, it was some militant, bad attitude femnazi? She negged me, too.

    Let's face it, there is no more fitting of a name for someone who would neg someone for stating their opinion -- as unpopular as it may be -- than a SHEEP!!!!!!

    Bah bah bah!!!!
