I have this analogy where it's like you are stuck in traffic because there's a car accident and everybody can't help rubbernecking. We want to see the accident because it's part of our nature. Being addicted to doom in the news is no different.

A lot of the cry babies on this forum seem to be depressed and want everyone else to join their suicide pact.

I'm addicted to hope.

I just can't seem to get enough fixes.

Doesn't seem like a suicide pact of the depressed to me. In fact, most of the responses seem like folks are well adjusted to an inevitable dismal future. They post doom, because it is obvious, yet they post it with a sense of humor.

If hope is my heroine then humor is my methadone (except it comes with a high).

Anybuddy who is serious about the prospects for the children and their progeny would have to realistically be doomstruck.

But we're not addicted to it. Doom, despair, and depression feel terrible. People only get addicted on that which feels good.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Sixstrings', 'I') think interest in bad news is just human nature. From an evolutionary perspective, it serves our species well to pay more attention to bad news than good news. Danger can kill you, after all, whilst butterflies and sunshine can't.

I'll say it, My name is sittinguy and I'm a doomaholic.

I look for it, seek it out, get excited when I see the name Schiff, Celente, Rubini, California, Michigan, dollar collapse, and my favorite, survivor727

I wouldn't say its doom, its reality,
