There are an equal amount of good news stories and breakthroughs around the world; maybe even more than there is bad news. Bad news gets viewers and controversy going. It's all about money.
 
Russia is wanting to take over europe like stalin did, the economy is very bad in europe right now. The unemployment rate was nearly 30% in my home country before i decided it was time to get out of that shithole. WW3 is coming within the next 10 years.

To be fair, the Israel-Palestine thing has been going on forever, but it does seem like the world kind of flipped on its head with the MH-17 tragedy and Israelis ground invasion of Gaza happening within like 8 hours of each other
 
Heidy
I just don't keep track of it. Might seem ignorant, but why the fuck should I be depressed about the horrible shit going on around the world 24/7.

People also care more about the bad shit that is going on. Being good is something that is expected.

That's right. But there aren't all bad stories out there. Roary actually posted this to the personal support sub-forum awhile ago and I thought I'd post it here:
http://www.odewire.com/
It focuses on optimistic and intelligent stories rather than negative ones ;)
The positive stories are out there, but it just takes digging.

A good video that sums it all up right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pes8_eAAmpw
Worth checking out!
 
I'm more interested in Yellowstone Super Volcano, and the increasing amount of sinkholes popping up all over the world.

Not to mention the fact that fuksihima has been spewing radiation since 2011 and is effecting sea life.

Also the fact that we have an island the size of texas made entirely out of trash.


But hey yeah man! Russia BOOOO! Yeah fuck that shit whoooooooooooooooo. Putin and Obama! YEAH JUST KISS IT OUT BRO! YEAH WHOOOO
 
First with the Ukraine incidents now some thing is happening in Israel. When ever i turn on the tv all i see is war from everywhere, buildings exploding. Whats your thoughts on this..?

There has always been these sort of calamities happening at a very steady pace around the world. The only reason you're hearing so much about it now is because they're affecting countries which are self-proclaimed "more important" than the little countries.

You rarely hear of the consistent terror and war in countries such as Rwanda or Chad, or Sudan or Lybia because why does our government care if they want to destroy themselves? They're neither an asset or a liability to the first-world countries. These stories can obviously be found with simple google searches, but you never see them as headline news or viral internet news because people don't want to see the thousands upon thousands dying in less fortunate countries, especially when it doesn't affect their gas prices or air-fare
 
It's just too many things happening at the same time, by coincidence I guess since they seem totally unrelated, and you get the feeling the world's flipping, because actually I think it's just the usual amount of calamities. Also too many planes going down recently, one more just crashed in Mali today or yesterday evening I can't remember

Ya, its pretty much World War 3
 
I dont really focus on it but im just noticing how much worse its getting by the months. I remember 5 years ago you would rarely see school shootings and such. Now every week either a shoot up happens, bombs, shooting down planes. I just don't know what to think about it >.>
