  1. Who wants to hobknob with murderers anyway? on LonelyNet · · Score: 1

    The world's spinning out of control as it is. I rarely watch news channels anymore, just skim CNN.com for important things. Everyone's dying, everyone's killing each other, the LAST thing I want is to walk around the world wondering if I'm gonna be a chalk outline in the next instant. And yeah I agree with whomever said that they are closer to family and friends. Perfect example: I have 11 aunts and uncles and 20+ cousins. Most of us are online and I found place that lets us have a family website for free. Chat, pictures, news, programs to share, funny stories, family trees...I'd never see them ordinarily since they live in New Mexico, California... I love these schleps who start in with the Big Bad Internet Ripping Away Community. Come ON. These are people who hiss and spit when the weather frizzes their hair. The same kind of people who bitched to have children removed (bodily of necessary, and the peasants rejoice) from theaters by 6pm are now complaining and pissing about how kids don't go OUT enough and the Internet is to blame. We're a high tech society. Sure, we don't take as many hikes as we used to. But isn't that a lucky thing since we're "developing" all the beautiful land left anyway?
