There is a hard core group on FR that posts nothing but negative news. I don’t have any trouble finding bad news. I turn on my TV and can get it 24/7.

I’m not hiding my head in the sand, but damn it, I tune in to FR to find the news that is not reported. Those constantly focusing on bad news and sharing it on FR pisses me off. This constant stream of bad economic news that the posters want to shove in our face serves no purpose other than to confirm THEIR view of reality. They seem to enjoy wallowing in bad news all the while with big sh*t eating grins saying “See! See!”

What you focus on and pay attention to creates your reality. My reality doesn’t suck. If I have more years like 2007, I’ll be retired in less than 10 years.

Ok, thank you for sharing. I didn’t realize we were discussing bad news.

I tend to agree. President Reagan was a good example of the "power of positive thinking" etc., on the other hand I hope you would agree that there is a separate reality outside ourselves, and objective reality or substrate of some kind. Trust me on this - when other people %$@$% things up, it can affect you and yours.

Don’t shoot the messenger.

I like as much news as possible posted on FR, both good and bad.

I then choose what I read. That’s the way it should be. If I’ve had enough of one particular “bad news” subject I don’t read those threads anymore.

Either you choose the good and the bad or you let someone else choose what is “good” and “bad” for you.

I’ll choose myself thank you.

One more thing...

This thread was started on what the poster claimed was “good” news...

His/her headline was sarcasm...

So this entire thread was mostly about whether it really is good news or bad news.
