Does anything shock you anymore?

[Taverner]

I know nothing shocks nothingshocksmeanymore, and Perry Farrell might allude that nothing's shocking...

But - does anything shock you anymore?

[Leggs Akimbo]

1. Ignorance

The level of ignorance in this country is beyond shocking.

[DemWitch]

4. Not only ignorance

but the complete comfort in being blissfully ignorant and not having to take the responsibility for learning the facts instead of believing what is spoon fed by the mainstream media. That's what grinds me...

[Leggs Akimbo]

5. exactly

well put.

[AwakeAtLast]

[Misunderestimator]

3. Bad things don't shock me anymore... it's the good things that do...

:shrug:

[physioex]

6. The fact tha there is soo little outrage in this country...

Over the atrocities being commited...I guess this is also a form of ignorance....

[SarahB]

25. Exactly

:thumbsup:

7. I still get shocked when I tongue a nine volt battery.

I wonder how NSMA avoids that.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

20. Easy

I have better things to tongue

[elperromagico]

8. Electric chairs,

especially when the sponges are dry.

11. Lyrics to a song a "neighborhood garage band" was singing.

I think their name was the "Obscene Perverts". They actually sounded good when they practiced and had a girl singer who rocked. But I have twin girls and a young boy (all single digits). When they started rehearsing "That's right, I'm fucking the dog. That's right I'm fucking the dog!!! Rowww rowwww rooooooooooo!!!".

I was shocked.

I had to turn on my own stereo and shut the windows of the house.

Their other songs included "Fuck, fuck, fuck" and "You're Fired!" (this was before Trump's show). The You're Fired song was the chorus for all the very explicit things this girl did at work to get fired, drugs, rampant sex, shooting people, etc.

Look for them on next season's American Idol.

12. So this is a Pat Boone cover band? n/t

[MyUncle]

14. I saw a picture of Pat with a pink jacket on the other day,

that was shocking as well....

[elperromagico]

15. LOL - with a matching pink toupee? n/t

[MyUncle]

16. I found the picture, it's an orange jacket with pink shirt.

I wish I knew how to post photos on DU. I'll have to learn. But some of you might still be digesting...

[elperromagico]

21. How to Post Photos on DU:

Find the picture you want on the Internet
Right-click on the picture
Select "Properties" from the drop-down menu
Find the image URL
Copy-past the image URL into your post

[MyUncle]

28. Thanks Elp, I'm giving it a try, prepare to be shocked.

[elperromagico]

29. Good Lord,

and he's got Rick Santorum with him too. That's twice the awful.

[dolo amber]

10. When I was 2-ish

I stuck a bobbypin in a light socket...that was rather shocking. :D

(That also might just explain some things, eh? :think: :D)

[Misunderestimator]

13. Ok... it DID shock me when I hear Bush pronounce "nuclear" correctly

once in his speech yesterday... but maybe I was just dreaming that.

[Zorra]

17. No. Absolutely nothing.

So much bullshit, so little time.

[Murdock]

18. I don't know if I'd define it as "shock" anymore..

It's more of a surreal feeling now..

I feel like Linda Hamilton's character in Terminator 2.. When she had her dream.. Standing outside the playground.. trying to warn everyone of the impending doom.. but no one can hear me..
There is no fate but what we make of it.. or so they say..

It is absolutely surreal...

Our scientific advances have far outgrown our emotional capability to handle them.. It's a miracle that humanity has lasted as long as it has thus far..

[leftofthedial]

22. nothingshocksmeanymore

said it best

as usual

[Kahuna]

23. I stopped being shocked many moons ago.

Anything that man's imagination can contrive will be done.

[sbj405]

24. The forty-whatever percent that are still supporting *

Who the hell are they? And why?

[phillybri]

26. Not after this!
