Yeah' date=' religion is the downfall of man.[/quote'] never saw that, how does it work? It's a hilarious, offensive, movie. The truth should not be considered offensive. no, just unacceptable to the public because they don't want to hear bad news, their ignorance will be their downfall It's offensive if it offends people. You can't pick or choose what's offensive. The public doesn't want to hear bad news? News flash: the media thrives on bad news. Whether it does offend someone or not, I don't think it should. The fact that something happens does not prove that it should. The media may thrive on it, but common people want to hear IMPROVEMENTS to their lives, not for the media to tell them 24/7 how their lives will forever be a living hell (though many will accept that answer) If you were to ask someone "Do you like hearing bad news?", they would be likely to respond that they do not. Subconsciously, however, the human mind is excited and intrigued by bad news and will keep one listening/watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cin Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I remember watching a program on National Geographic that mentioned that the Organic Material required for Life may have come with an asteroid impact, and we're probably not alone. I'm currently reading an article on Darwinism in the National Geographic magazine. A big part of the argument is the genetic code (between species it seems to be the order of Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine and how its ALWAYS the same 4 bases) and how changes between species seem to be between what genes are on or how long like the genes coding for Fins also coding for Limbs, its just the time the genes were expressing themselves differed.

Way2goofftopic But an example would be how people will stop to gawk at car accidents or buildings on fire. It's human nature. It's also why the news is always bad. Because good news doesn't get as many views as bad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
