And then there's my Facebook friends who will also see the video and get similarly angry and similarly spread their anger ... and in this way Western civilisation will collapse... Or am I just being paranoid? <em>Pete Aldin's last blog post..<a href='http://www.greatcircle.com.au/2008/02/06/hate-something-change-something/' rel="nofollow">Hate Something, Change Something</a></em> I think there is the distinct possiblity that someone will send me a upsetting video on Facebook which will make me angry and then I will go and take out my anger on 16 or 17 people around me who will also spread the anger… And then there’s my Facebook friends who will also see the video and get similarly angry and similarly spread their anger … and in this way Western civilisation will collapse…

I don't watch the news (no TV period), I rarely visit news sites online unless I'm looking for something specific, and in the car I usually have my iPod on so no news there either. I believe that actual news has a place in the world, but I draw the line at sensationalist fear mongering which the US is disturbingly good at! This article isn't news but some author's lack of anything better to write, so to make up for a lack of point, it gets turned into sensational BS relying on keywords and over-paranoia of the American readership. Definitely NOT news. While I agree that nearly anything can be used as a dangerous weapon, I must argue against that article being actual news.

It's certainly hard enough to seriously injure or even kill someone when you stab them in the right place with it, and tough enough to not be easily cut. This clearly demonstrates how news is dangerous to society. I propose a ban on all news, because news kills people.
