I went to see the Indiana Jones film today, I won’t comment on the film but on the people who went to see the film…
There were scenes were people got hurt, bled and died or where blown out of where they were and nobody minded that (not even me,) but when a huge machine that destroyed a forest came up on screen, ravishing the greenery and destroying everything in its way because “it had to get to point B” I heard a general, “oh, no! Not the forest!” from the people watching the film and I was included in that lot.
Well… look at that…. Marketing and making people aware of our environment has finally had its effect on people… “we care” about the environment and get upset if we see it destroyed mindlessly, even if it’s in a film.
Now… the question is…. Are we no longer affected when we see people dying? Hurting? In pain? Has environment taken over people?
What do you think? Are we immune to human suffering?

Might just be the Stupidity of Hollywood. They wouldn't know anything sensible if it attacked them,sadly that goes for some of those Thrill seeking Compulsive Movie goers. Fear Of Existence glossed over and Covered Up by Cheap Thrills.

I'm not talking about holywood but the reaction of people.
I saw on the news the other day how a guy was run over in the states and how people didn't do anything at all to help, they just kept on walking by, by the looks of it all it seems we care more about our environment than about our neighbours.
