You Cannot Turn it Off: News Addiction
BizangoBob writes: "In this time of madness, I find myself staying up later than usual, watching more tv than ever before, tracking more channels, with more open browser windows than even I did before. As though KNOWING more will somehow help. There's a great piece about news addiction in the Washington Post. It made me feel I'm not the only one."
.. yes sir, here's your case of 40s.
Thanks, Nig GUH!
People are using the phrase "make no mistake" more often than usual on Slashdot. It's starting to look silly.
Louis Armstrong, trumpet player and Jazz pioneer, died yesterday morning in his Los Angeles home. He was 71. Armstrong's last performance was at James Madison University's Convocation Center on March 24, 2001, where he played to a standing room only 5,000. Armstrong was helped off the stage by his wife of 20 years, and he later told a reporter for the campus newspaper "I don't know how much longer I can do this. This may be one of my last shows." His final song was his biggest hit, Hello Dolly! He is survived by his wife, 3 children and 6 grandchildren.
Do you know why they make aspirin white?

What fool modded this as "insightful"?
bla bla bla
come on now we're sick of this shit.
"hard to grasp"
shit negro I laughed my fuckin ass off
Make no mistake.
Sure this isn't propoganda on the part of the Post to get you to turn of your tubes and start buying the newspaper? Hmmmm... another DC conspiracy!
This has been a problem for school districts in my area. The local newspaper ran a piece on it, and the superintendent basically asked kids to go to bed on time. I'm suspecting it wasn't a problem for elementary schools tho.
Make no mistake
ps taco you pussy
It's real easy for you to sit back and say "Let's nuke the Arabs", as you gaze at the computer screen in your nice cozy chair. Yet I doubt you're all that interested in actually enlisting and "blowing shit up in the middle east" yourself.
I just searched every reputable news site I could thing of for details of Stephen King's death. There was not a single mention.
What is it with Stephen King that makes people so quick to pronounce him dead? I find this to be in terribly poor taste.
I ain't smoke no crack in two hours.
Stephen king's official site, as well as some fan sites and his radio station's site, say nothing of this. I would think they would be the first to display the news, probably with some sort of memorial. Man, its just hoax-o-rama right now, isn't it.

Only been reading this fake submission for the last 3 months. When will the idiot learn...
dude, didn't you hear? There is no god. Its just a fairy-tale a bunch of people repeat to make themselves feel better about dying or make them feel morally superior without all that tiresome "ethical reasoning". duh...
because they fucking suck! go there if you want to have your comments deleted. someone should mirror all that content those 14-year old fuckwad trolls keep deleting.
mod parent up, then mod this down.
Thanks for sharing that jew boy
Slashdot Trolls, I hereby call you to service to troll slashdot with anti-US, pro-terrorism trolls. Slashdot is just sitting here, ripe for the picking.
So get to work boys and girls. Slashdot needs you in this time of opportunity.
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

Bill Gates and Microsoft have given $20 million dollars for relief after the WTC attacks. How much have Linus Torvalds and the Linux community given? Nothing. Just goes to show who really cares at this point.
Excellent point. The sporadic reports of twerps beating up American Muslims and idiots calling in telephone threats to American Mosques should make everyone sick.
We need all the solidarity we can muster in anticipation of whatever the President is going to do to retaliate against these fucking low-lifes hiding like the fucking animals they are in the mountains of Afghanistan.
Did you know that September 11th was Dylan's 20th Birthday? Look here and scroll down just below his photo to see. Even if Dylan is dead, his "intellectual property" apparently lived on...
I just heard some joyful news on talk radio - pharao and son of Osiris Ra-Sept-Brop-Trop was found alive in his egytian tomb this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will welcome him - even if you won't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an egyptian icon.
Well shit - guess if I already spent the last two years in Mid-Eastern Politics I had nothing better to do then to watch this?
derr
Hey, chill out. Many of us are just watching and waiting for the first attacks by the military. I love how the moronic radical arabs think actually. Did they think we were just going to roll over and blow this off? Last week I didn't give a damn about Israel or their conflict with the Palestinians. This week I have changed that opinion to STRONGLY supporting military action. I want ground troops in there supporting the Israelis and I want people going through the streets wiping out those fuckers we saw dancing in the streets. Every single one of them. I want to see Mecca leveled to the ground and I want to build a huge Jewish temple on top of the smoldering crater. FUCK YOU ARABS!
I would also like to add that this is also the time for every single American to exercise their second ammendment rights to bear arms. If you don't have a firearm, go get one. The terrorists we need to worry about are living among us not in some distant mountain region in Afghanistan. Please keep an eye out for suspicious activity from ANYONE of arab descent or of the Islamic faith. Don't do anything crazy like attack them, just keep an eye on them. We can only have peace through eternal vigilance. If you notice these people doing something suspicious, please, report it immediately to the authorities. I don't want to see every arab rounded up and put into camps, so this is a way to keep an eye on them without having to resort to that. Remember, it is your duty as an American citizen to defend your country. If you shrug off this responsibility you are no better than the people who did this.
