LOL I must have missed that part of the thread. LOL but now that I get it... very funny

In that case


LADIES AND GENTLEMAN. LET'S GET READY TO RUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMBLE

You can't have a boxing match without THAT. Hey do you think we could get the real guy?

Lizbud. we are all friends here. Edwina and I have a way with each other. I'm sarcastic, she's sarcastic. it is an unwritten unspoken agreement. Not to mention I gave an opinion in this thread before giving a rebuttal.

Edwina I do not believe in censorship either (in most cases, there are some things no one should be subject to seeing but thats another story) However I don't think that keeping some details to themselves is censorship. We don't need to know the names of the ships that are out there and how many men they have one them and where they are at this moment and where there destination is. All they need to say is, a rescue mission has been organized. or something like that lol. Some details should be kept hush hush.

We don't get coverage on plans the police are making to catch a serial killer. why should this be any different?


EDIT: One more thing to add. My husband made a good point earlier. The internet has changed our lives especially regarding media. NOW, news is old within 36 hours. Before the internet news was news for a long time. There wasn't constant coverage. Perhaps THAT is what makes this seem more extreme. when something happens we find out about it immediately. We don't have to wait. And with that increased amount of news flow of course things are going to look worse.
