Do you think maybe some of the situation is caused by the arrogance of the populace in whom choose a dire need to take tax dollars and use them for the things they deem important such as faster computers, faster cars etc. (things that are wants not needs) and ignore these problems? Pride comes into the picture when people find themselves "above" others instead of seeing the situation in it's entirety; therefore could this lead them to decide not to help?
Their clothing does not infringe on your rights. If tv is so objectionable, turn it off. I say that as a fellow parent.
I honestly wished I did not feel the way I do, but I need a reason to first. I would love to see all third world countries be eradicated of their woes, but how can this be done if we cannot take care of our own people?
I see where you are coming from, but please let me explain. It does not infringe on my rights, but the right my children have to not be made to feel inferior, be taught "if you don't look good, your nothing". You mean to tell me with all of the technology we have no one could come up with "rated" commercial eliminator; or better yet if I or a family member is watching something educational the commercials fit the programming. I mean really, you can sit and watch the Holiest of movies, but if it is aired in America it would be desecrated by commercials alone.
We can do both. The question is whether or not we will.
OK, I get that. I still feel you can turn it off, though.
I guess I might associate the two a bit more than I should
Trust me I have turned the tv off more than once just for shear disgust. You have another channel for a recall and there is something worse on that channel; after doing this more than once I usually go and try to find something constructive to do.
Sure. You're going to tell me that many Americans don't look down on 3rd world countries? That American's aren't "better" then them?
IMX.... not the citizens. The governments (or lack thereof) in far too many cases, but that's wholly justified, in my book.
Feeling "better than" other people is normal & fine with me.
The persona I am basing this on is the persona portrayed via media. When is last time you hear of a "humble" actor (not some are not, but most are). As far as I was always taught, pride and arrogance are two things you consciously try to avoid in totality; like you stated isn't any too much.
Very good explanation.
That's your basis? With rare exception, celebrities are attention whores, no matter how nice they may be as people. That's why they wanted to be famous in the first place.
No, no, no, one of many basisThat's your basis? With rare exception, celebrities are attention whores, no matter how nice they may be as people. That's why they wanted to be famous in the first place.
I sometimes picture actors as children jumping up and down shouting look at me, look at me, but every once in awhile there is one who just likes to act. My basis is on this being one country with the most people who are quick to tell you where they are from, even if not asked; arrogance is believing anyone cares (unless of course they ask you, but we all know this is just to make nice mostly), as well as the previous stated reasons.
