Savii In this blog I will discuss my opinion on media, religion, and life in general.

Now in a recent blog I read about a church that supposedly says that god hates everyone. There are 3 things wrong with this, and some irony. First of all, in the blog he had an example: "Pray for more dead soldiers". These words in context literally mean "Pray for more soldiers to die", but you don't know the sign holders train of thought. Maybe they are asking you to pray for the dead soldiers. Just because "Anonymous" is creating a scandal doesn't mean that the Westboro church states that "God hates everyone".

Now onto media, what happened to honesty? McCain fumbles a single word and they are on him like ants at a picnic. Why do we allow the media to stretch the truth about everything, and even attack people? Do you think the media has too much power? And if you do, what restraints do you think it requires?

Whats the true meaning of life?
In my opinion, I say happiness. Since when did life become about money, grades, and a boring job. If you don't like doing it, change it. Life is short, make it as great as you can! What do you think is the true meaning of life?

Few extra topics I would like to bring up:

How much time do we invest in activities we dislike?

Overally, is believing worth it? How many hours do you worship in a life time?

Lastly, why do we always think we are right? Is self pride really a gift or a curse?

HAPPY NEW YEARS!2012!

It's nice to see SDK still allows this crap to be Featured. It makes the real Blogs look better.

Personally, it was scattered. You should've stuck to the Media as a topic, beause the other two are over-done.

Theres really no point in living if you're just going to die anyway. It does't matter if you're life is filled with happiness, in the end, you're just going to die like everyone else, we might aswell die and get it over with.

Shut up, I'm not emo. xD Its true.

If you actually did research on Westboro, you would know their train of thought. Here's a hint, it's not what you stated.

The media can say whatever it wants. It's up to the populace to decide whether to listen to it or not.

The meaning of life is objectionable.

The rest is just null.

The media is the media. They will make sure almost everyone with some kind of device with Internet hears their story whether it's true or not. Keep that in mind

Quoth HullBreach:
I thought Westboro deserved its own comment since they frustrate so many people. As for the media: commentators and opinion column authors have every right to express the opinions they were hired to share. The problem lies with anchors and journalists who try to express their opinions when they were hired to be unbiased. We see that all the time. It can be in the form of spin (delaying or withholding facts), question leading, and even opinions directly expressed. 90% of the media in the United States are self-proclaimed progressives. That means they share a view with about 20% of the populace, leading to skewed reporting. The same goes on both sides of the political spectrum, but it is less apparent on the conservative side. (Remember that I am talking about anchors and reporters, not commentators.) There are very blatantly biased news sources out there (i.e. NPR, MSNBC, WND, HuffPo, NYT, Breitbart, etc.), but there are also ones that give fairly reasonable coverage on their news (i.e. CNN, FOXNews, Yahoo!, WashPo, etc.). It's a good idea to find those who don't slobber all over a particular viewpoint and go to the commentators (i.e. Hannity, Colmes, Limbaugh, Maddow, Savage, Moore, O'Reilly, Beck, etc.) just for entertainment.

Meaning of life? I don't think we will ever know a definitive answer. Still, we can fulfill our own views of life by doing what we enjoy.


Mr.Gump do you watch the Colbert report? He actually has support that wants him to run for office XD apparently his biased news is agreed with :p

I am glad that they made Westboro Church. Now you can see how I feel about Osama. Some people misinterpret religions and make them look bad.

Westboro is not a church. It's an extremist cult from mostly a single extended family. If they actually lived by the teachings of Jesus that they claim to follow, they would see this famous Matthew 5 piece from the Sermon on the Mount:

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? Do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect"
