What happened to people? What happen to saying "live and let live?" Is it because of social media and all those people that choose 'not to live' can not sit back and let other people 'live'? People apparently have lost the ability to turn the channel, all of the hype over Miley Cyrus, but unless i'm mistaking, don't we have more than one channel now? if you don't like something can't you change the channel? But no instead, people would rather watch the whole thing, then complain about how bad it was, and how 'she' shouldn't be doing that. I'm just wondering when my facebook friends became her agent(we need to talk, you can get me discounts right?). Things like this have been going on for YEARS but now why is it newsworthy? Why? Because we as a society make it so, by making a big deal out of it, of course the news is going to capitalize on our inability to ignore something that should be no big deal. Personally with technology the way it is I think regulations on media should go away all together, If she wants she should be allowed to go up there on stage and strut around naked for all I care, TV's now have parental blocks, if you know a channel will show nudity, block the channel on your TV set if that's not something you want your family to see. Better yet, turn the TV off all together, and go do something outside, nobody is forcing anyone to watch these performances but peoples reactions to them seem to indicate that they don't have a choice in the matter, it's unfortunate that people can't figure out how not to see something on the TV.

its called social media and opinions

we have always had the latter, but the former allows more people to share them without hving to be in the same room to do it

people are still 'letting live',,,,not a big deal

In case you've been living in a cave the past 24 hours, apparently Miley Cyrus acted like a whore on MTV last night. Even though this happens every year at the MTV awards, apparently she out-whored Lady Gaga, Madonna, and Britney Spears. I don't know how, but she was able to pull it off. Not only did this event dominate all media this morning, but apparently it broke Twitter world records as well.

By the way, we're probably going to bomb Syria over false WMD claims, and don't watch Russia Today or the Ron Paul Channel, You might get exposed to "propaganda."

I posted the crap about Cyrus to put a space in the dead thug commemoratives.

One thing he finally learned well.

Roll over and play dead.

Yep, but the only place you will actually find that more than once as a topic, or up for discussion, is on RT or the Ron Paul channel.... sites the gov't calls propaganda

Truth is treason in the empire of lies!

The conversation wasn't on Miley's behavior specifically, it was on peoples reactions to behavior of celebrities, I could have used any example to make my point(Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, even Tiger Woods) if I changed it to any one of those examples the point of the message would still be the same, I chose to use Miley's behavior as an example because it is current. But so there is now confusion I have edited the message so it can't be construed as adding to the conversation on Miley Cyrus, see edited copy below:

simple answer

its 'newsworthy' now because we have SOCIAL media to expose what people are talking about,, and therefore, what the news might report as a reflection of what people are thinking and talking about


same way that people can choose not to watch something, they can choose not to read an opinion

doesn't seem like much of a difference to me,, right to express is right to express,, no matter how trivial the matter may seem to others

Because the powers that be, need something to distract us with, while they go to war for us. So that war is taken off our minds, until the next round of "Syria VS Whoever", and by then, another media whore will have gotten headline's for doing something "shocking".
