Stoner Posted April 24, 2018 Author Report Posted April 24, 2018 Don’t suppose any of our legal minds have any insight into Canadian labour law? What can I do you for? Quote

Wyldnwoody44 Posted April 24, 2018 Report Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) Is it weird that I make a concerted effort to avoid most if not all news, I don't have cable, I don't like the world and I don't want to be negatively affected by all the stupid crap happening.... When we bombed Syria, I didn't know until I accidently walked by a TV with coverage on. The less I know about this stuff is better. To further add, I find comfort in reading about griping in hockey some days, it's not all that serious and after a very stressful day, I actually find comfort in reading some of the hockey threads here, even though it's just you f*cks ;) Edited April 24, 2018 by Wyldnwoody44 Quote

ubkev Posted April 24, 2018 Report Posted April 24, 2018 I found out we bombed Syria 4 days after the fact when I went to watch my DVRd episode of Hawaii Five-O and it was all up by breaking news! I was fcuking pissed! Thankfully my wife records Blue Bloods after Hawaii Five-O so we managed to get all of my show and only her show was ruined by 15 minutes. And that's fine. Quote

Doohicksie Posted April 24, 2018 Report Posted April 24, 2018 I guess. The Democrats were against it, but the Republicans were for it, but it would have been the other way around before January. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 24, 2018 Report Posted April 24, 2018 No, really,... we bombed Syria? You did (along with France and Britain, I think). And Putin is pissed off about it. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/13/world/middleeast/trump-strikes-syria-attack.html Quote

Stoner Posted April 24, 2018 Author Report Posted April 24, 2018 No, really,... we bombed Syria? Yeah, she wouldn't tell the president if she was hot. Quote

Awaiting ban. Quote
Eleven Posted April 25, 2018 Report Posted April 25, 2018 No, really,... we bombed Syria? Dude. YOU WORK FOR A NEWS STATION. Quote
SwampD Posted April 25, 2018 Report Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Dude. YOU WORK FOR A NEWS STATION. I'm an audio guy, though. That means I don't have to listen. :lol: It is kind of amazing. Unless I'm on air, I don't watch TV, even at work (except for hockey, and even then, it's usually at a low level with music on). So unless the bombing was going to effect a specific stock's price, they probably aren't even going to talk about it. Plus I've been training someone, so I've only been caring about when I see someone's lips moving, do I actually hear their voice, not necessarily what they are saying. I'm with woody. I used to know and care. It made me miserable. I'm way happier now. Also, throw in a nutso kid, two ailing parents, and trying to be a 50 year old rockstar and I only have so much extra room in my brain for giving a ###### about stuff that doesn't affect me one bit.

Stoner Posted April 25, 2018 Author Report Posted April 25, 2018 "It doesn't affect me." That's a problem. We're at war as a country and no one can tell the difference from peacetime. 1984 stuff, there. All of us should be sacrificing, not just the military members and families. Bring back the draft. Cut Internet service from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. People will start watching the news. Quote

The US has been bombing the middle east my whole life. It doesn't matter who gets elected, or which party is in control: the US bombs the middle east. It's what we do. How am I supposed to invest emotional capital in something so monolithic, right now, in 2018? Quote
