Thread Name: BS: Discovery Protester message good, means not
Subject: RE: BS: Discovery Protestermessagegoodmeansnot
Mean snot? well, yes, maybe but!
The guy is/was unhinged about something of little consequence if he is on about the TV station's programming. But I would share the sentiment. What a lousy waste of a great forum. Discover what?Pablum? Less than that.
And History? Yup, the world revolves around crabfishermen and truck drivers. Who knew before the History Channel pointed it out to us. What a Modern Marvel it is. Makes me want to puke.
But back to the guy who feels he can't get a hearing, either by throwing money away or by the taking of hostages. Why is it that the imagination always breaks down with the cause celeb? I geuss, when one reaches the end of their rope and desperation sets is it always devolves into some act of violence. Ah! We humans!
Do something in a postivie vein or at least be a martyr, not a murderer. They never stop to think. Think: What good will doing this be for the promotion of idea "X"? It's not going to win many converts and the ones it DOES appeal to are not really who you want in your seminal ranks of the movement.
So, if you are on the verge of going nuts over your unheeded message of warning about whatever, please stop and think (while you still can) who am I helping by doing this? Who am I hurting and will this really do anything to alter or alleviate the situation?
It was kind of a slow news day anyway. Next, for your entertainment value, Hurricane Earl! brought to you by the Weather Channel!
