I am finding it interesting to read them......and how many of them are about bad news. Is it me, or does anyone else see how depressing it can be......???? Maybe it's the sign of the times we are presently living in.....

What are you thoughts on this????

I notice this almost every day. People have different reasons for focusing on bad news, I suppose.

It is a little odd that the latest headlines are brought here as if it isn't known that we all have access to TV, radio, and other electronic means and most are already aware of it, sometimes it's 2-3 days old.

If you are noticing the titles then you are also noticing that the bad news ones get the most hits and discussions.

Hi Free.......Surely there are some good things happening out there in the real world that are good and could be uplifting to folks.

I have this one friend that really doesn't like to watch the news on TV because it is so depressing to her.

And yes, sometimes it is old news......

I usually try to stay away from those kinds of threads for just that reason......
