Thinking about the sweet innocent children, and adults that lost their lives today in the tragedy in Connecticut...

Thinking about how I have a brother who is a school principal too... and he has 3 children in Elementary school as well...So this whole thing really hit home...

CHERISH...cherish and cherish each day...each moment...and each one you love...

God Rest their beautiful souls and heal the hearts of those left behind...

:rose:
 
Okay...time to kick my flip flops in the corner and put on some big boy clothes and head out to the first Christmas party of the season....enjoy the rest of your night all....xx
 
My son is having a tough time with the shootings today. I've been trying to come up with ways to comfort him. He's not aware of the violence in the world.
 
drunk women are really not that appealing...there is seriously nothing sexy about seeing a woman slur her words, fall over, and reek of alcohol while she's fondling you and trying to get your number....1st world problem over here lol
 
All the things I have to bake this weekend ...

Chocolate chip
Chocolate chip with pecans
Fudge
Almond toffee
 
Spare a thought for the 19 students knifed by an out of control fellow student in Henan China very recently. I believe most survived.

BUT imagine how much more damage he'd have done if he had a fucking GUN!

Tough Gun Rules Work in China. (which is why I love living here).

The common thread here seems to be an out of control person with a weapon.
 
Don't read if you don't want to hear my rant

Media are licensed to cover whatever will get their rating ups. Until people collectively come together and STOP WATCHING it will never stop.

I have personally experienced this type of invasive coverage at the hands of local newpapers who plastered pictures of my mother's body pinned underneath the car that killed her.

Front page.

With a cloth thrown over her head.
Headline : PROMINENT PHYSICIAN'S WIFE KILLED IN WRECK

I was six years old. So "shock" media is not a new thing..

Many of these morons (media) don't have a clue about what they are doing, how they are doing it, and how it will affect someone who sees it. They do not care that a child may see it or that some children who do see it do not have the loving guidance of a caring adult to sit down and try to explain it. All they see is the raw coverage of violence, and they are left with those images.

WIth regards specifically to the coverage of yesterday's events, although I am deeply saddened, I am no longer shocked at human depravity. That these victims were CHILDREN, and the media puts it out there for shock value, really hits a new low. As long as there are people who are willing to watch. They will continue to cover.
 
Loving this time of year...Just sitting in my home ...fireplace on...and just makes me happy looking at my Christmas tree and all my holiday decorations and the lovely smells...

:heart:

What you say is absolutely right.
However, media coverage is still needed - it's news after all - and legal and legitimate.
What we don't need - and you say this - is the sensationalist way in which it is covered.
By the media instead striving to cover news responsibly and with some level of respect for the victims and their families, we SHOULD be reminded of the level of human depravity that is occurring apparently regularly. I'll stop short of consideration of these incidents as 'moral panics', which unfortunately the media seem to incite among the general population.
We should never allow ourselves to be complacent.
We also need to understand that it is often less the individual's problem but society's.

I'm not saying media coverage isn't needed :), I'm merely stating, and I believe you concur, that a level of sensitivity is in order with regards to certain events.
I'll go on to emphasize that the media in and of themselves are not all "evil shock mongers", but I do believe journalism seeks out sensationalism and puts an unnecessary spotlight on the soliloquy of the deranged. If we, as a nation, as a society, ever have a hope of changing, we must open the curtain on all the good that happens, and give it a standing ovation. I think more good exists in this world than we allow ourselves to see.
