Everything is trying to depress us  |
|
 We watch a lot of nature and history on the TV have any or you noticed how every thing has turned depressive. All i see is war, war and more war. Even the animal show seem loaded with violence. Is it just my attitude has there always been this much blackness on these channels? or are they really more into this stuff?

1.  zandi458 (6047) | 10 months ago |  Well I don't really watch much of these stuff on the TV. Reporters have been drumming up their reports and making it looks like war is a normalcy in human lives. War promotes cruelty, vice and stupidity, as well as untold physical and mental suffering. It should never be aired on the tv as it brings disastrous to the normal thinking mind of peaceful people.

2.  OLIJULSAR (1063) | 10 months ago |  I think there have always been that type of show on, it's just that it has not been so thought about like it is now with everything going on.
Most of the time with all the news of war and people killing, we don't get much time to think about good things that are going on and good things that are happening. So I think all bad just gets more emphasied now then it did before.

| 3. cobrateacher (4271) | 10 months ago |  Hi, Pat.
A friend and I were discussing something similar at lunch Friday. She thinks there are more escapist things around than ever, like comedies and cartoons. I don't think many of them are that funny anymore - even the animated TV shows are about negative things more often than not. We really need to get out of this horrible Depression. It's depressing.

is sure depressing and there is always so much violence there!
I think that you are right about the nature and history shows
too. I don't know if it has always been there, but I have
been noticing it more lately too. I hope it isn't what the
world has finally come down too. Even the poor animals are
fighting all the time?

| 5. snowcat46 (1112) | 10 months ago |  History is chock full of man's inhumanity to man. That's why I hated it. It's why I won't watch while my hubby watches show after show about the slaughtering of Indians, Holocaust, and others. Humanity is about war, and I don't want to see it.
Nature is about survival of the fittest. That's life. I love animals, but I don't want to see this sort of stuff over and over. I know they have to kill, but I can't stand seeing this on top of everything else. Yes, it's always been this way. History and nature are about survival, and that involves harshness. Personally, I'd rather see fluff films. They make me feel better, even if they are just fluff.

| snowcat46 (1112) | 10 months ago | None that I've found!! I like going to www.hulu.com (NOT a referral) and looking up the older shows. Things that make me feel good. They have a lot of choices to watch. Stuff that isn't real, but the good guys always win. Like Dresden Files. That's what I'm working through right now. Gritty, but since wizardry isn't real, not particularly depressing.
I think they have some of the older shows, like Partridge family and such. I don't watch those.
I like movies that have clear winners. Always is a funny, kind of sad, love story. I always cry at the end, but it is a happy ending. Mighty Joe Young, like there's a giant ape anywhere, but the end still makes me feel good. The Ref, hilarious even though he swears constantly.
Even horror movies that can't, by any stretch of the imagination, be real. If it's that bad for them, it's that much nicer for me not going through it! But it can't happen, no matter what. Like The Ring. Scary, but still not real. I'll never watch The Strangers! That could happen and I won't watch it ever. | |

6.  thenextnoel (283) | 10 months ago |  We've become more tolerant of violence in the media in today's society and this is the result savypat. I doubt it if the kind of things you see on TV would be allowed air time 50 years ago. It has its advantages to be allowed much freedom in the media, but as Spider-man said, with great power comes great responsibility... or was it Benjamin Franklin? I don't remember:)
