pretty much everything that comes out of 70% of americans mouths these days
the population idolize people like the cast of Jersey Shore
That the History Channel now basically only shows series like Pawn Stars, Swamp People, IRT, Ax Men, etc. instead of awesome historical series like Conquest, Wild West Tech, Mail Call, History's Mysteries, Ancient Discoveries, etc.
@OmegaTheDestroyer: I know what you mean. I do not even watch Jersey Shore. It make no sense what so ever. I mean really who puts their lives on T.V in that manner.
@lykopis: I know what your mean. There is reasons why I think they do that. One is because there are afraid of failing. Another is they have a mentality that failure is not an option. So they go that way. But it feel like it is been twisted up when that happens. Or it could be that they love ignorance because they benefit from it. They could be insane or not in the right mind at that time. They could be thinking that if they stick to what they know is a sign of not giving up. So it could be because of their beliefs.
@lykopis: Or people remaining ignorant as to refrain from being seen as "know-it all's".
and that happens a lot. o-o

Yep --- each one of those are applicable absolutely. I try to stay open-minded (I fail at times though -- I am a work in progress) but yes, you are right. I don't get frustrated anymore though, I just get disappointed. When heels are dug in, there goes opportunity to learn and it becomes an exercise of who can repeat their views in as much para-phrasing as possible.
@Xanni15: Yes So True. And not just that one, it is also the way their attitude is. It is not helping at all. I can see if they were being criticize first, but if they were not then it was no need for that. You are right on.
aggressive fanboys, religious zealots, atheists, overly political people, music nowadays, marvel NOW, ryan reynolds accepting comic movie roles, fans of reality tv (yes even you " i watch it sometimes just to see how dumb it is" your supporting them dummy!!!), reality tv stars treated as celebrities , memes, ... i think i read this thread as things you want to shake by the head

this so much!!
And pretty much anything else (from politics, to religion, to common stuff, to stuff in comics, etc...) makes me shake my head. for different reasons of course, but the feeling is usually the same: disbelief, frustration, rage....
@mk111: True. DC needs their own channel like boomerang channel.
If the petitions don't work out, we can hope the DVD sales will help revive the shows like it did with Family Guy. If that doesn't work too, well, I suggest boycotting the channel. Its one thing cancelling the show due to low ratings, but another is due of lack of merchandise.
