Answer 1

1,2,3,4,5,7 .....lol They all affect me in my life, but the ones that get to me the most, are 1 and 2.

Answer 2

2.   Children are the most defenseless

Answer 3

1. Massive Tragedies (airline crashes, bus crashes, terrorist bombings...)

I hate hearing about loss of life

I also detest news about gang culture, knife crime, robberies and beatings against the elderly.

The world is becomming bombarded with this sort of behavior.

Tougher sentancing for children doing the crimes and their parents will deter this.

Answer 4

1.  These things happen.

2.  Makes me want to extend my arms around them all, take them away from their troubles and bring them to a sanctuary where they can grow up laughing, loved and confident to handle everything thrown at them.

3.  Deeply.  When society starts to break down or go nasty, I have a deep terror inside me for me and for everyone I care for.  I have witnessed this myself in the last few days right here on N&E > CE to the point where I am considering closing down my participation here.

4.  Related to 3. since in a democracy society chooses the Government, and if it is not a democracy then society is in trouble.  Anger that they can't give me a job in the Civil Service to help sort it out.

5.  Like the weather - the normal swings and roundabouts of the market.  Thoughts as to how to avoid the worst troubles, and keep the wolf from the door. Related to 3. if the economic troubles are caused by inadequate control of the fat cats.

6.  Near total ignorance.  Never heard of most of them.

7.  If a politician is capable of addressing worries in 3, 4 or 5, then I am interested and will support the politician all the way.  Most toe the line and are incapable of resolving anything.

Answer 5

Number 2. I have two children of my own and it hurts to see other children in pain or trouble. I am glued to the Caylee Anthony case. I want to know what happened to that beautiful little girl.  

Answer 6

Answer 9

Answer 10

News  about  Israel  always  catches  my  attention.

At  the  moment,  I  am  concerned  about  the  Presidential  election.  

Celebrity  news  amuses  me.

And  finally,  major  breakthrus  in  health  treatments,  meds,  etc.  

I  hate  listening/watching  news  about  racial  strife,  etc.  

Also,  I  refuse  to  watch  some  of  the  major  elite  channels  for  news  as  they  "spin"  the  truth  and  don't  report  acurately.

Answer 11

Top of the list:

  (1)  Child Related stories -

   - Vulnerable innocent children who are being abuse, hurt, helpless indeed  etc.  Very sad for me stories like this.

(2)  Massive Tragedies stories -

   - Tragedies that involved massive number of innocent people like plane crash, sinking ship, war/ bombings  etc.  Sad indeed.

  (3)  Crime Related Issues  -

   -  People who are victims of such hideous crimes. Blood, death, torture   etc.  Waste of life.    

Answer 12

A bit of all of them.

1. Sad and makes you count yourself lucky it's not you & yours.

2. Just terrible for the children & families involved. You can't believe some of the stuff you hear.

3. Immigration - Major bugbear. Especially when our Government tell us that mass immigration has not had a negative effect on Britain and British culture and tradition. - THIS IS  A LIE.

4. MY MONEY & here I am scratching about to pay my bills !!

5. Sh*t ! How am I going to cope with that. What can I sacrifice to cover the excess costs

6. Freaks. Everyone loves a side show.

7. Labour OUT !

Answer 13

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7.

Celebrities can go f ck themselves. As can the muppets who buy those stupid magazines.

Btw you also forgot environmental stories.

Answer 14

All of the above but the one that incenses me is number 2  it makes me extremely angry to the point of boiling.

Answer 15

Number 2 causes me genuine physical distress.

As for all the others it's more if I feel there has been an injustice. It the one thing absolutely guaranteed to press my button.

So whereas a huge disaster is awful it's sometimes just that ' an accident' and life is all chance and circumstance however sad it is. But if the disaster has occurred through incompetence or whatever reasons I feel very very different.

Ditto for all the others.

Apart from 6. I don't give a flying F.
