The trend that aggrevates me the most is how local news is broadcasting more and more world news... only to have the world news come on right after it. Stupid... I like local news to be local news. If there isn't enough bad news to report... then report something good for a change.

First of all 'positive outcome' is subjective; what positive outcome means to you can differ in its meaning to someone else.\n\nWith that reasoning, the answer is yes.\n\nRegarding the references to Hitler, street gangs and such...to them their outcomes were positive, Hitler's plans were coming together, the street gangs continue the violence to accomplish who knows what, so their out come is positive, especially if they don't get caught.\n\nRegarding what is socially accepted as positive, then the answer is no, not always, however what may be socially accepted by the masses may cause you to disagree.\n\nIn the end, everything is subjective in one way or another that there may never be a "correct" answer because of ones point of view, and if debated intelligently, intellectually, with reason and fact then you can manipulate what is accepted on a social level but never make it a constant.

Damn that's good! You are right. Looks like truth is not selling today, however.

People do not want to hear to good news about Iraq!!! As long as the bad news flows from the liberal laced media, people will be blind to the fact that we are winning and we are giving freedoms to people that have suffered long enough!!!!

When a person is given good news, the person wants to share that good news.\nIf a person has lived in darkness and is given the light and can see things and understand things as never before, it would make sense that this person would want to share this light with the ones still in the dark. Many people may prefer the dark because they are comforable there.  People that have the light remember what that was like and show compassion.

I am happy. Being happy or not is a choice. You can see the positive in everything if you want to.

Nope! Just wishful thinking.If it sounds too good to be true it usually is. A popular saying that people should pay attention to.

I think knowing there would be happiness would give hope in the sad times.  That would probably make it all ok.  But I have to admit, I like not knowing.  I may like the hope of possibility more than the hope of the definite.  And that makes me hopeful, since I can't be guaranteed anything.  Hmmm... I may have answered my own question that is completely different than this one.  Wow.  That is amazing.

NO, that's so cynical. Maybe I'm missing the point, but I thought the news was wonderful. This will make a real difference. Maybe, just maybe this heralds the start of a new type of status...

Well...Looks like they have you to SPREAD the good news.

I think that when something terrible happens, its human nature to want to be optimistic. Can you imagine how it would feel to hear that someone you know was "dead" instead of being "missing"? It's like killing all hope that they may still be alive. It doesn't happen often, but miracles do happen and it doesn't hurt to have a little hope. The media is not often very considerate of the words they choose, but when they say "went missing" they do sound somewhat compassionate.

ignorance is bliss...\n\nbut we'd better do something before it turns around and bites us in the a$$

Assuming you're not pregnant, start with that. Good news helps soften people up.

Nope, even though I know it's true.  Listen to Nicole Nordeman's song, "What If"....it talks about this very thing.\n\nThe worst thing that could happen if all of us are wrong...we live better lives, are better people than we might have been otherwise.   But if all those who don't believe are wrong...\n\nReally, listen to the song.\n\nPS>>to Opinionated...are you REALLY saying that being good, kind, loving, is a waste of time?  Wow, I feel for those around you if you really feel this way.
