sorry love.
what is your issue?

TheDuality0fMan 7:55 pm
my issue is the Casey Anthony verdict
and why i feel like i am the last sane person on the planet
..or in my general vicinity

elusive wit 7:56 pm
what was it?

TheDuality0fMan 7:56 pm
they found her not guilty of murder, and guilty of withholding evidence

elusive wit 7:56 pm
i avoid that shit like the plague
mainstream media.
>.<
its reality TV labeled news.
pisses me off.

TheDuality0fMan 7:57 pm
i know
i know
and thank god you said that since i am like the only one who DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT she got off.
Yes, it is a tragedy what happened.

TheDuality0fMan 7:57 pm
and yes, it is a crime in and of itself that no justice has actually been served.
But, the fact that so any people became so invested in this case, and are now angry over the verdict pisses me off.
Why?
Because it has no goddamn affect on anything they do on a day to day basis.
They choose to care about the shit that doesn't matter.
Mean while, they can't afford to pay their bills, or clothe their children, or maintain any semblence of a life because they are dead broke. And the people responsible are still walking the earth, free as a bird and rich as Solomon.

TheDuality0fMan 7:59 pm
And their is no outrage!
there*
Fuck this country.
No.. not the country. Fuck the majority of people in it.

elusive wit 8:01 pm
amen

Q&A: Kirby Ferguson - On The Media

I'm glad some one finally talked this guy up. He's onto something.

History repeats itself. So does media.

BBC acts to stop Twitter leaks by stars and writers | Media | The Guardian

BBC acts to stop Twitter leaks by stars and writers | Media | The Guardian

I find it ironic and amusing that I tweeted this article.However, I can see BBC's point in this one. Its too easy to share information that is supposed to be confidential.

Given then amount of crazed fans some stars have, its easy to see why their security could be at risk if their schedules were divulged among countless other contractual dealings that could be in jeopardy if the details got out.

Its like posting toliet shots on facebook from drunken nights and wondering why you get fired later. O.o

Borders and bankruptcy: Goodbye to bricks and mortar | The Economist

Borders and bankruptcy: Goodbye to bricks and mortar | The Economist

I must admit to feeling a ping of loss at the idea of my lovely bookstores closing its doors. There's something prolific about wandering aisles stocked with paper-bound piles of words upon words. While I prefer the dusty, slightly musty smell of the used bookstore on a lazy Saturday, there are times when the only place I can find the book I am looking for is my local Borders.

I have a thing with patience. Sure, I can order it online, but it takes time to get to me. I can have it in hand in minutes, by driving down 72nd Steet, without shipping costs.

As the age of the e-reader dawns, I'll have to learn to say goodbye to the feel of pages between my fingers much the way i said goodbye to the inky smudge of newspaper.

Ah, nostalgia.

Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World | Brain Pickings

Oh, Brain Picker. You've hit so close to my heart with this one. Reality IS broken. I'm a long time supporter of video games versus television.

Video games promote hand-eye coordination, problem solving skills, social awareness when played with others, and the ability to judge your surroundings quickly and accurately.

My gamer tag is Nemesisaria. ;) Find me on Xbox Live.

Fox News Political Twitter Account Hacked : NPR

I for one find this hilarious. As an open disparage-er of Fox News' politics and positions, whom the promote and how... I greatly admire the joke. Wouldn't it be funny if someone from the digital department just got loaded and played a practical joke?

Is it just me, or are hackers getting blamed for a lot of things these days?
I hope everyone had a safe and happy Fourth of July.

Due to my holiday festivities, I am a day behind on all my news scouring. I have about seven or eight articles that will make it up here eventually today, as I also have to start back to school, for the Bachelor's in Sociology waits for no one.

However, neither does the news. Try reading my paper. The commentary will come later, as slim as it gets sometimes, when I've had a chance to read all of them myself. Other than that, follow my Twitter! Or, check out my version of CommonSense.
