Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers

I hate when people die and then on tv someone always says "our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of blah blah blah"... It feels like a robotic response every time someone dies.
I always picture some office worker saying "boss, some bus passengers died. " and the boss saying " ok, issue the standard statement 35a."
I hate over used phrases!! It's like "tough". Everything is "tough". How did the ballgame go last night? "well, it was tough." F you!

    They have to say something that can be accepted by the generic public. They cannot say nothing, and they cannot say prayers alone or else risk being called religious bigots. That's just how companies work, they always say they are aware of issues, are working on them, and that they care about 100% customer satisfaction. When someone is representing something much bigger than themselves, they need those "robotic" responses or else they will screw up somewhere and get someone angry.

      I guess maybe I hate the "general public" for forcing us to have to use such stupid responses. On a related subject, I hate interviews with pro sports players. It's so boring and predictable.
      "What did you think of that questionable play that Rodriguez made today?"
      "Well, Bob, we're just here to play baseball and do what we need to do and blah blah blah. "

    And, some people have claimed that religion has been completely removed from the media. PFFT! I don't like it either. It reminds me of how Politically Correct and sappy America has become. It makes me wonder what percentage of people who say this actually mean it.

    When someone says "thoughts and prayers" it usually means very little thought and NO prayers by my estimation.
