Shocking

[miffy63]

As we're exposed to all kinds of global disasters in this age of multi media, does anything shock you anymore? Or is it just me who's become hardened to Africa, freak storms etc. These things all still tug at my heart strings but nothing really shocks me!

I do have a question though, how do I get my text in other colours on AB?

I have to admit miffy i was more upset at cancun being hit by the Hurriacne last october (a week B4 my hols there) than anything, but I am shallow.

I heard about the 'near miss' asteroid whilst in the car yesterday... at first I thought, what if they're wrong? what if it's the governments way of telling us it's on its way and after it wipes out a small country they then tell us how they were wrong!
Then I thought about the possibilities of it knocking the Earth off it's axis ever so slightly, what repocutions would that have?

I finally came to a conclusion.. there's nothing we can do about it ....and had totally forgotten all about it till I came online tonght.

Lore, when everyones time is up, theirs a fair chance you will know nothing about it, so live life and don't worry about some stone falling to earth

Hi miffy,

I am not shocked by anything Nature does, but what does shock me and always will is when young children are abused,and also the extent of it around the world, wierdos are everywhere.

I couldn't agree more with the last two posts.. I fail to see why so many people (it would seem) can behave in such a way. :o( it makes my skin crawl!

[Pippa68]

ditto what ray said..and wardy..I still find that shocking, and hope I never get so jaded that the shock discontinues.

cruelty and abuse of any kind to anything still shocks me who could harm defenceless animals children etc and the way nobody in power who can change anything realises whats happening in the world all the undeserving get everything and all the law abiding hard working get is more crap the world is topsy turvey

i think over the last few years we have seen all sorts of extremes as regarding nature and human atrocity, to make us become immune to shock. like others though, i do still get shocked by abuse of children, especially the rape of a 3 month old baby. That sort of incident will NEVER stop shocking me as long as i have breath in my body.
