Why the rise of NASCAR, Paris Hilton news stories, UFC, and wrestling mania & reality TV......hate crimes are up according to the FBI, swatstika and noose incidents are up as well? Clearly there is a trend where these forms of our "entertainment" are on the rise here in the USA. What does it say about the "mindset" of today's U.S. citizenry?

1. The entertainment you listed ties into the hate crimes how? I am more worried about your mindset after reading this "question"
2. That's because the media (ALL OF IT) doesn't like to report anything good. When was the last time you actually saw something good on the news. Violence and sex sells.
3. I think I worry about you.There may be some things in American culture that are frivolous to some, but to others they are the escape from the real world. As for NASCAR, where else can you go to get real family orientated entertainment, besides Disney. Not football, not Baseball and certainly not Basketball. Have you noticed the attitudes there.
4. You've been watching Fox again!!!!
5. It means nothing.
6. People are intellectually lazy and shy away from hard hitting news stories because it forces them to use their brain cells
7. NASCAR and UFC are interesting and exciting to watch. I have no clue as to what makes people interested in the other three.
