It's Only Logical

The ladies on 'The Talk' were talking about the 911 call concerning Demi Moore. They said that most people have probably heard it (not me) and wondered if 911 calls should be open for the public to hear.

Now, most of you know how I feel about censorship, but I really see no point in letting the public hear 911 calls. Are we any better off for hearing people in distress? Do we learn anything by hearing possibly the last moments of a person's life? I don't think so. It's just a strange voyeuristic curiosity that helps no one, in my opinion.

I was always terrible with these type of logic problems. This one is like a foreign language. I get a headache just looking at it. That brings me to the IQ test. Does it really determine smarts, or... environmental disparity?



I guess if you are smart, solving logic problems like this should be a piece of cake, right?

I agree, there is no need at all for 9-1-1 calls to be made public. I almost always cover my ears or leave the room when they do play them because they're so disturbing

I've heard many on those "48 hours" true murder mysteries. In those cases they can be very telling. How did the husband sound when he called...what did he say then that didn't jibe with later statements. Those are interesting and after the fact. Demi Moore, having been married to two big lunkheads has surely had worse intrusions in her life.

But, the public is not trying to solve a crime. We are just being judge and jury and voyeurs.

I don't feel sorry for Moore. She is responsible for the consequences of her actions. I just don't want to hear it.

Even the supposedly funny ones, where people call 911 about getting the wrong chicken or something, are weird.
