The terrorists finalize their next wave of attacks, China grows stronger and becomes one step closer to realizing their 1000 year dream of world domination, a million illegal invaders swarm the border, never to leave...
Let her and her friends have their prom! For this will be the highlight of what will prove to be a sad, wasted life cut short by the cruel, cruel, world surrounding them (and getting ever-so-closer).
You nailed it Captain! The sad reality is right in our faces but when you speak of it you are looked at with the 'deer in the headlights' look or just plain ridiculed.
Perhaps those things you mention color my thoughts even when posting to what most here would consider a 'trivial' thread. Hence my 'overreaction' which I've been called on already.
We have become a nation of sheeple, that's for sure (or 'fer shure' for the shallow pop culture world).
Ummm...yea that was me doing the ridiculing.
I do agree that there's no sense arguing anymore over something silly like this girl and her Ten Grand Prom Extravaganza.
But, I think that people who express the nihilistic view of the future like that one dude did (about the terrorists and the Chinese and the illegals etc etc...) ...DO need to be called out.
And I'm happy to do so.
But, hey, everybody has an opinion.
My advice: Don't be so embittered by other people's attempt to create happiness. As pathetic as it may appear to you.
Instead...just enjoy life.
Yeah, enjoy life.
Love Doc
