The rest of the world laughs at us, Tom, Katy, and Suri...we're pathetic.

I guess I don't think the two things are mutually exclusive (not that I particularly care about Tom Cruise's baby). Personally I am quite sure the men who cooked up the "War on Terror" didn't do so for reasons related to terrorism anyway (hence the fact that President Bush has repeatedly said he doesn't care where OBL is), but in any case I think there's enough time in the day to read the paper and still joke about Suri Cruise. Honestly I think the only substantive thing most Americans can do in furtherance of the "War on Terror" is join the military, something most are unwilling to do. You yourself have time to post here - shouldn't you be off fighting (or at least lobbying, or at a minimum reading the paper or something)?

IMO, the two are mutually exclusive. If one considers the time in the day as finite and since the news can't exceed the cycle of a day, then there is a limited time to display news (in whatever facet). The more the Tomkat story takes up, the more that other stories have to be axed to make room. It's a zero-sum media game.

Although I agree with your point that the only "substantive thing most Americans can do ... is join the military..." I believe there are two seperate, but not mutually exclusive, seperate circles of life involved in this country's debate -- the military viewpoint and then everyone elses. One outlet that is available to the private sphere, and is relatively equal to that of the military's counter sphere, is the ability to make and form law. Being altruistic enough to craft law that affects everyone it touches is equal to physically enforcing it at the point of a gun.

Don't you think some of the soldiers in Iraq are reading this sh!t too? Or should they spend all their free time thinking of their buddies getting blown up in ied's.

Do the math, entertainment is a part of life and just as much a part of your life as anyone elses, unless you live in a secluded cave with no electricity. Get a life and don't judge what others find entertaining, and don't pull the 'insensitive and unpatriotic' card in a fvcking celebrity baby thread. :roll:

We should all be focused on Steve Irwin at the moment, too. Although, if Suri Cruise is to be considered a celebrity then the "celebrity pool" is once again balanced, showing God is hard at work making sure we'll be properly distracted- in perpetuity.

What the...?

That's being a little extreme, no? Life goes on. Do you expect it to stop so that everyone can wallow in a chronically depressed state? What would you have everyone do instead?

Give a sh!t? I'll settle for that. Read the news. Watch the news. Maybe try reading the news from another viewpoint like the BBC or SPIEGEL. Then maybe go out and make an informed vote in November? How about that?

TURN OFF THE FVCKING ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT NEWS!!!!

lol BBC...yea they're not unbiased at all.

Did you know 400,000 US soldiers died in WW2?

Liberal: Someone who stayed quiet when Clinton was carpet bombing the Serbs but bitches about Bush and the war in Iraq all day.

Normal Person: Someone who can laugh at TomKat and shed a tear for the Crocodile Hunter.

Life. Live it.

dude my hands can touch anything but themselves. oh... wait.

 

[JujuFish]

After reading the title, I was wondering WTF Suri Cruise is. Upon finding out, I am now wondering WTF cares about information on Suri Cruise?

I don?t know what to believe anymore,? said Emily McElroy, a Tom Cruise fan. ?I?m shaken to the core. I haven?t felt this depressed since I watched a DVD of ?Legend.??

I wasn't referring to the media, but the public - I was responding to GTa's comments that "more Americans care about Tom Cruise's baby than our soldiers dying in Iraq and the War on Terror." Ultimately I don't think the public at large has any obligation to spend every waking moment obsessing about terrorism, and indeed I'd say that if they do, the terrorists have largely accomplished their goal.

The media is a separate but related issue. It seems to me that reportage on Suri Cruise doesn't steal bandwidth that wouldn't otherwise be used to report on terrorism. Serious media sources (e.g., quality newspapers, or the Lehrer Newshour) are not spending a lot of time or energy on Suri Cruise, and they are spending as much time as they reasonably can on the war. Ultimately there is an attention-span gap, and soundbite journalism will always win out, but I guess that's a topic for another day.

I love all the posters who say "who cares ... who gives a shlt" yet they cared enough to come in here and read the post, AND respond to the post.

Jesus christ if you all can't have a little fun in your life and need to be worrying about the "real world" 24/7 why the fvck are you even on ATOT to begin with?

<because it makes me feel better than you></because it makes me feel better than you>

Anyway I love the guys and girls 18-26 that bitch about why aren't you focused on 'the war', yet when you ask why aren't they involved: "I have school". The worse are those without even a major yet.

We don't agree on much but sure do on this one.
