Is Boredom the Major World Problem?

The rubbish I read on other people's blogs makes me wonder if they are simply bored, and have nothing to say, or if there's some other reason, like I'm simply stupid. Check out some of this drivel: http://inanethoughtsandinsaneramblings.blogspot.com/ http://orangemittens.blogspot.com/ http://tenacious-s.blogspot.com/ http://angrychicken.typepad.com/. Is the problem that only bored people have blogs? Or is the problem that people are, in general, bored. Surely there's no other reason to assign such drivel to the computer screen? The extremely pathetic events that occur in their everyday lives, and they feel driven to record, makes one wonder if nothing exciting ever happens for them. Then I began thinking that maybe, just maybe, life is more exciting in Africa than in the sterilised, regulated societies in Europe and N America. Maybe living in constant fear of being mugged, robbed, driven over, or starving somehow is character building. Maybe the almost daily extreme events which occur make life far more worth living than worrying about what to get some fat, soppy, bored wife for Valentine's Day, or cooking for the spoilt brats you bred. Maybe the world's big problems, like global warming and Aids, are just so much more real for me than for you fat bums in overpadded chairs, comfy and safe, but bored stiff...
