ha ha !! true!!

and yes marcus did win that one! :hello:

Gee the Bea haters are all out in force on this thread!

I think she talks a lot of common sense. You probably hate her because she's referring to YOU when she speaks of internet people removed from real social lives! And how sad it is.

Touched a nerve did she? :dance2:

Nah not in her mind, she will think he will be eating out of her lap in the morning

It's what hippies do, didn't you know?
She's so intelligent her brains about to burst, so the hair helps to contain all her wonderful knowledge for it to spill our of her arse, sorry mouth throughout the day.

She forgets that they are some people who can't leave their homes who actually rely on things like the internet.

She generalises far too much in her bid to come across as some kind of Mother Theresa figure who wants to 'save the world', when in fact she is indulging in a reality tv show which, if she truly believed in all her 'escapism is bad, and we should all be out there doing good deeds instead of watching TV, being on the internet' she would never agree to be a part of.

If she feels so strongly about the state of the country/world, why doesn't she step down off her soap box and actually go off and volunteer or something, instead of taking part in a 'reality game show'?

Oh that's right she's 'thought' about doing it a few times, but never actually done it!

I could see Marcus' disappointment growing every second. He likes her so much yet could not believe half the stuff she was saying!! Wonder how they'll edit that tomorrow!

Hmm funny how people read things differently. I thought he was nodding in agreement with most of what she was saying. And also seemed happy to have someone to have a proper discussion about bigger issues. He likes her more I'd say.

And she said herself that she was generalising and there were always anomalies.

Whatever. You guys are clearly determined to read her every word to she says in your own light. Some guys just can't handle a woman with opinions and views about bigger issues. Her basic premise that technology is destroying human social contact is an absolute truth. I really don't get what you're trying to ridicule.

It could have a sense what she said and I could agree with some of that but what she does is against what she said. How you can be part of relity TV wich make people watching not living their lives and say something what she said??? Also I dont like way she is talking to people like " we shoul think about plannet". She is like priest and she doesnt like different opinions.

But technology has also opened doors for communicating with people all over the world. For example, when i went travelling i was able to talk to friends and family via internet and actually see their faces via web cam. If it wasn't for people studying things such as space and technology, then we'd still be living in the same villages with little concept of what's going on in the rest of the country let alone on a global scale.

Yes on a level I agree that technology is also having a negative effect as well. Like Bea said, you end up using facebook, or texting someone who is no more than 5 minutes walk away...so you're losing out on that physical contact at times.

Bea told markus to 'shut up talking about space, as we need to focus what's going on in the world we live'. I found that pretty rude and ignorant. Markus was trying to have a discussion about something which interested him. Yes i can understand Bea's point in that there are so many social problems, global warming etc etc etc which exist on Earth which need to be fixed, but to say it's pointless taking the other stuff in to consideration just seemed pretty ignorant to me. She's come across in a number of chats as having a know it all attitude, I dislike this trait in any person.
