I am happy for the families that the miners were able to be rescued Helene Send a noteboard - 14/10/2010 05:36:37 AM
And as a feat of human ingenuity, it's an interesting story.

Now that I think about it. Over the years I've heard many complaints that reported news is always negative. This is a story of positive news, and therefore, I see it as a positive thing, that so much time is spent on it. It's an interesting psychological experiment, if anything. I don't think that people really care about good things happening to other people, when they don't know and love them.

Is it awful of me that I don't really give a crap about this mine rescue business? LiterateDog - 14/10/2010 12:58:18 AM 1538 Views
I feel the same way. Beqi - 14/10/2010 01:03:51 AM 872 Views
Well, everyone knows you're a hateful bitch, so I'm not surprised you'd react the same way. LiterateDog - 14/10/2010 01:14:18 AM 954 Views
Thank God! I hated trying to hide that fact! Beqi - 14/10/2010 09:11:20 AM 771 Views
They're rescuing mines? BlackAdder - 14/10/2010 01:23:05 AM 975 Views
The rescue is taking place in a mine. My statement was in no way incorrect. *NM* LiterateDog - 14/10/2010 01:24:05 AM 457 Views

This one could've gone either way. Joel - 14/10/2010 11:22:13 AM 949 Views
I don't get involved in all the negatives news stories, either. LiterateDog - 14/10/2010 04:26:14 PM 907 Views

I have just this moment had my iGoogle page hacked to pieces by my boss Two Wongs - 14/10/2010 10:20:29 PM 825 Views
Lucky you. Given that you described it as "managed to avoid" the story, you're totally HBC material. *NM* LiterateDog - 14/10/2010 04:27:04 PM 479 Views
Is there a button for my shirt? Two Wongs - 14/10/2010 10:18:27 PM 852 Views
Why? Is your neckline plunging too low? *NM* TaskmasterJack - 14/10/2010 10:24:13 PM 481 Views
It keeps popping open, since you ask *NM* Two Wongs - 14/10/2010 10:40:36 PM 469 Views

Tell your friend you'll feel compassionate after you bludgeon her to death for her sassy mouth. *NM* LiterateDog - 14/10/2010 08:35:52 PM 451 Views
I was just dissapointed that they refused to show real news *NM* Fox and Ravens - 14/10/2010 03:12:35 PM 447 Views
I mainly watch for the weather. At least they didn't fuck with that. *NM* LiterateDog - 14/10/2010 08:36:17 PM 436 Views
Probably because it's tough to stick your dick in a cloud. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 14/10/2010 09:54:20 PM 462 Views
It's an incredible story, but a lot of people don't care about South America. Zalis - 14/10/2010 03:14:49 PM 980 Views
It has nothing to do with the fact that it invovles brown people thousands of miles away. LiterateDog - 14/10/2010 08:37:11 PM 789 Views
Yeah. That's why I said the same complaints would be raised if it were in West Virginia. Zalis - 14/10/2010 10:39:10 PM 1019 Views
*edit* I continue to hate the placement of the edit/quote buttons. Heh. *NM* Zalis - 14/10/2010 10:39:33 PM 466 Views
