Some would say the absolute opposite, citing the way young offenders act works to hide the identities of young criminals..........

So, would you apply that to all criminals like the YOA does? The YOA is great because your next door neighbor could have been 17 and raped a bunch of 4 year olds, and you would never even know about it. I say plaster all criminals faces and names everywhere so you know who they are. Put a tattoo on their forehead.............

Correct. Its a pull system, not a push system. You require fans to be famous. Its not a secret the word fan is derived from the word fanatical. I cant tell you the name of the guy who killed Lennon. I also dont remember the name of the shooter at this college. Why? It's just not something I'm fanatical about. I can recite the lyrics to alot of Lennon's stuff though. We choose what we want to remember, because we deem it to be important. Want it to go away, start tuning out........

If that's the case, with all due respect, you may have a memory problem.


My complaint is that we collectively seem to treat real tragedies as entertainment, the ultimate reality television.

My memory is fine. I just never read up on the shooting. When I surfed the Ottawa Sun, they had a big story and stuff, but I skipped it and went to the Money section. These shootings just dont interest me enough to want to read about them. If you dont like it in the media, change the channel, or go to another story, no one is forcing you to read it or watch. We arent powerless robots that have to watch or read what they show us. Besides, there was a much better story that day about someone running for cancer in memory of Terry Fox. I remember his name, but then I spent more time reading about him than any donkey who went out and shot up a bunch of people.................

Milkman you watch way too much tv. Its very easy to avoid all this stuff. If it aint Star Trek, Lost, or a great cartoon, than I dont pay any attention to it. If it happens to someone I know, I am sure I would find out, and it wouldnt be from someone who is paid to run around saying the sky is falling.............

The Leafs lost last night. Gerber was sharper than Raycroft..............
