  • There is absolutely no doubt about that at all. In ancient days it was bread and circuses. Today, it's media, movies, internet and all forms of computer social sites. Might be why we're here on this one.

    Entertainment makes us happy. Information makes us sad.

  • Sometimes. I have been very disappointed, sad, at the quality of some entertainments I have attended.

    Yep, but that is nothing peculiar to society today.  It has been thus throughout history (for the majority in any given society). This post was edited by Bozette at May 8, 2017 3:06 PM MDT

    Absolutely, unequivocally, indubitably, without a doubt and with no hesitation, YES!  
    Look how much Brad and Angelinia make.  Who is watching the news right now and not watching Netflix?    It is a very sad statement, but true.
