Despite what you were told on Fox News and on White House press conferences the world is still on a poo-poo slide down to hell.

Yes, the world will never be safe. The world has never been a safe place. There are a million ways for me to die, some of the are human errors, others just natural phenomenas. Point being; never i the world going to be safe. Granted safer, but not completely safe.

Despite your hatred of Fox News and the White House, they've never told us that the world is a safe place.

Excerp from the Amnesty international website
Canada

:Covering events from January - December 2002

There were concerns about police accountability and refugee protection.

We better invade Canada quick so we can get some police accountability and refugee protection. BTW, where are these refugees coming from?

Fox is the bull shittiest news agency out there. It's not even news, it's just entertainment.

so its ok if the world is one big pile of stinking shit? you know, one can infer from their actions and our president's speeches that he was implying they were changing the world for the better. the world isnt any safer than it was 100 years ago, and in some cases, its even worse.

you know, everybody picks on FOX, but they arent the only offender. ive watched CBS, ABC, even CNN and MSNBC in some cases, and they all suck.

the bulk of their broadcasts arent even about the country, the economy, politics or world events, theyre about celebrities and tv shows. i was watching the morning news on UPN, one time i think it was, and they had a story about how the lady who plays the maid on 'will and grace' was arrested for shoplifting. WHO CARES??? its shit like this that pisses me off about mainstream news. and meanwhile, they had a banner on the bottom of the screen telling of recent events in Hamas. shows you where the medias priorities lie.

sorry about that rant, but yellow journalism like this really pisses me off.

Well, I stopped watching TV. The British television here is horrible. All they show is some retarded entertainment programs and generally pointless sick stuff.

This is why why we have the internet, which serves as an Alternative Media but is regarded by the True Believer as a leftist, communist, propaganda-spewing work of an enraged Anti-American.

The problem is that some people will believe anything they read on the internet.

"undergroundnews.org says Bush plans a New World Order? I knew it was true!"

"anarchynewsletter.net says Rumsfeld has formed a secret Gestapo-like secret police? I better watch out."

http://www.undergroundnews.org/ is an internet security website, I don't see what that has to do with Bush Jr. or a NWO

http://www.anarchynewsletter.net is not even a real website.

I don't see how quoting fictional people that are citing fictional articles from fictional websites or websites that have nothing to do with paranoid theories is going to prove anything. You could at least quote someone that said something similar.

They were hypothetical examples; I simply made them up as an example if what I'm talking about.

Linking us to a thread where someone wrote such a thing would help your credibility, unless no one ever really said such things. :-P

It was a hypothetical exaggeration of the way people just link to these sites that all promise "fairness" and to cut through the mainstream lies and other such things, but are really questionable on their own merits.

You want examples? Try your own threads for a start.

This is a general observation, not a play by play. You seem like a person so literal minded that if I stated that the sky was blue, you would demand that I take a digital image and examine every pixel to make sure it was "really blue". Of course, then you want to define 'blue' and 'sky'.

And then you'd blame it on Bush....

I don't think its worth to do a whole new thread just for this tidbit of idiocy so here it goes; George W. Bush tried one of those new segways today. These technological marvels are supposedly idiot proof.

This is true...once people realized they could settle somewhere and regrow the resources of an area...rather than just traveling from place to place for what they needed, the shit started to fly...the concept of ownership of property has been one of the most damning factors on earth.

Because the man in charge of world peace was riding aroun on a segway and probably fell on his head, inflicting even more damage to his neural pathwys, therefore diminishing his knowledge of proper vocabulary and syntaxe. "YOU HAVE MISUNDERESTIMATED ME!"

And you don't think he might? He nearly killed himself with a PRETZEL! I mean...pretzels is little ya know...the headlines on that one woulda been good...and it would have been just morbidly funny if people reacted to Bush's choking on the pretzel like when Kennedy got shot...but I don't know for sure that would happen...but maybe, what with all the jingoist head in the sand "Support America or you can get out!" patriotism going on right now.
