You know I've been watching a lot of criminal dramas lately, not a huge surprise obviously; they constitute the majority in their respective category. Shows such as Lie to me, CSI, etc... are in my opinion worse than worthless, they are genuinely damaging to the intellectual fiber of society. Here's why:
Ever since being criminalized, I've been thinking about who the true monsters in the world are and I have come to a conclusion; they are the uneducated society.
Take for example serial rapists/murderers. Granted they are the absolute scum of society, however their occurrence is so infrequent (less than one in 10 million) that the damage they do is virtually negligible. However, they are given the most "exalted" position criminal dramas due to their shock value (and "entertainment" value as well I suppose). It is because of these shows that I believe we live in a heightened state of paranoia and ignorance while millions of people die every year in unjust wars all over the globe.
In America only:
What about the 1000s who die thanks to a lack of gun control in the country (don't give me that we need guns to kill criminals bullshit - look at Canada and all sane European countries that have INSANELY low crime rates and gun control).
What about the 100,000s who die EVERY YEAR due to tobacco related illnesses.
What about alcohol, etc...
These unjust deaths TRUMP any crimes committed by the depraved and yet they are largely ignored, just as this message will be.
In short, you don't think you're getting fucked every day but you are and you don't care. I'm done getting fucked on a daily basis. Who actually wants to do something to change this world for the better?
Nevermind the fact that we have about 1000 years left on the planet before global warming and pollution really catch up to us.
