.... this is sort-of-politics related. and sort of world cup related. Skip if not interested.

Okay. Just one thing. I always think that this country can't possibly get worse, and then it does. And I can't even rant because seven hours of Heidegger are enough for my patience. And I usually cut politics related post but this time I'd rather not ( Read more... )

the world is a damn scary place, serious business, politics, headdesking indeed, wtf, my country is hopeless

it's like here, first news story will be that ray allen is staying a Celtic...and then comes the story about a HUGE fire two cities away where firefighters got hurt...it's like HELLO PRIORITIES

janie_tangerine July 8 2010, 20:33:37 UTC

HELLO PRIORITIES INDEED. =__='' yeah seriously, and I'm glad I didn't watch the news when they kicked Italy out of the World Cup or I'd have headdesked forever. :/

Definitely and absolutely does happen here ( ... )

Augh, HOW DO I GET THE TWENTY MINUTES OF FOOTBALL. Or, well, here it's not twenty minutes but all the sport that gets talked about is that, so. :/ And oh dear seriously it sucks everywhere. Tho thanks, now I feel less alone at least. ;) And ah, rant politics at me all you want, I'm the poster girl for politics ranting. ;) ;) Also seriously your news sound exactly as sucky as ours, except that at times we get how to teach your dog good manners. And announcers have resigned for that, which imo is just sane. I mean.

LET'S BE ENRAGED TOGETHER. >:( *whips out appropriate icon*

It happens here too, and there is no such thing as freedom of the press, it might not be as obviously censored now, but it still is. And dumbed down, hence the stupid stories ahead of important events. It is so annoying, I think you're more than within your rights to rant about it. =)

I'm starting to think that there isn't anywhere, too, but here it's getting ridiculous. Especially because re the earthquake everyone is sure that they're all fine and stuff when the situation is crap, but since people don't know they still vote that idiot that is my PM. :/ Ew, sorry for the other rant. ;)

You are wonderful - this without a trace of cynicism. Other than that, I don't know what to say.

janie_tangerine July 8 2010, 20:35:26 UTC

♥ you're too nice to me but thanks. ;) And I don't know either. Or, well, maybe I know, but it'd take me three entries. So.. I'll just pass for now. :/

Most of the times I think that, too. :////
