All politicians make money in dishonest and heartless ways. What kind of America do you live in? All media is bias. Even publicly-owned ones.
WHOOO HOOOOO, Ignorance is pure, unadultered bliss. The MPR non-biased thing has to be the single dumbest thing I've read on the internet all week. Public funded, what public? It just means they don't collect all their money from ad revenue, it doesn't mean special interest groups don't bring a heavy hand to the negotiation table and dictate what is broadcast in exchange for funding. Try listening to all angles of the news and form your OWN opinions. If all you listen to is MPR, then you are NO BETTER than some Fox News junkie. Time to drop anchor on the Failboat. I think it is going to spend some time docked to this thread.
MPR unbiased? Seriously? Neither are Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter, then. Their articles are carried in many liberal-biased newspapers so therefore they must have balanced views to be printed in such liberal papers. Next you're going to tell me that we should Free Tibet because they've always been an independent nation and the Chinese are holding them hostage.
Or because all the idiots I see everyday wear the t-shirts. China should lock down the territory, arrest every person between the ages of 14 and 25, and give them a stern history lesson. edit: Ooops. Tibet is a territory. Not a country. My mistake. And the world at large has every right to tell China how to handle their territories.
I should take you to Korea with me. Dog really is a tasty dish. The dogs they use are raised as food a la pigs and cows and the way they serve it is... delicious.
I was in korea about 6 years ago - didn't have any doggy then whenever i go back I'll be sure to eat 63 dogs for taras :yumyum: maybe 64 if i like it
You sir, are wrong. Look how they handled their sudden abundance of labor when the iron curtain fell: Shipped off their high-paying manufacturing jobs to 'growing' regions to lower costs and sold the inferior parts at the same prices as the parts made in cost-heavy factories in western Europe. Geniuses, I tell ya. They're geniuses.
Taras, the problem we have with you is that you consistently make statements and arguments without ANY supporting data or backup. Seriously, you sound as ridiculous as someone from PETA. You have such a narrow-minded view of how the world works, which is extremely lacking. What the hell are they teaching you at the highfalutin school you go to? Maybe you should go to Berkley :laugh:
and yes Taras I like to believe in the Right side of the road... I'd rather lean right then wrong.. but when I am wrong I know it.. dont just tell everyone to f off cause its my opinion and cause I believe it it is the truth!!! I like you mate... but that level of understanding towards you has reached the top of hill and free coasting down the other side... and I am fearful that side may be a cliff
I was in Korea back in 2000 and didn't have any dog meat. But now I might have to make a trip for the delicious diseased Indian dog meat.
Sure Nate. I dont blame you. Your views are different from mine and its fine. I stand by my believes and i know there may thing that have same ideology as me. No hard feelings on my side at all But here is another interesting thing people might find a leftist crap or worthless BS. http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/player/news/animals-news/burma-wildlife-vin.html
Well i know that you sound like you never went to school! I can tell you i have see a lot in this world, i traveled a lot and see poor and rich. The crap that you post as your "support" is worthless lie of government and corporate america.
The government that 'lies' to you also allows you to live in this country for free and get a level of education far better than one available in your home country with less chance of getting dead via the mafia. The Corporate America you hate allows you to buy decent products for less money than anywhere else in the world. I've also traveled the world. I also go to school. I also have seen the poorest of the poor and the richest of the rich.
Guess what Taras, I do go to school, and my major is much more challenging than your liberal arts degre ever will be. You are the one that sounds grossly uneducated here. You provide statements about the US government without any backing. Have you ever heard of a fallacy? I would think so since you've probably taken philosophy class or two. If I went to Russia and started making statements about the government I would expect to be treated like you are here since I would have very little backing to my arguments. Again, you need to provide some proof along with your allegations. That and work on your spelling and grammer if you want to appear as educated. Cripes, I'm posting this from my Shadow...
Seriously, you need to stop using this argument. Anyone who's lived here can tell you that US college students tend to be some of the most ignorant, unintelligent, sideshow, down's syndrome people by density in population. Also, just because someone doesn't go to college does not make them unintelligent. Additionally, just because someone is in college does not make them experts in all issues. And yet you portray yourself like you've got no idea what's going on or how things work at all. I'm so confused. Are you a Political Science major? Philosophy? Is your father a Senator? What? Where does your political fact come from? MPR?
thats a pretty strong and broad statement there. Not every liberal arts school is weak. what I also think is funny is the general extreme levels of disillusionment in sources of information spread in threads like these but the lack of any backing up of where these disillusioned with all media people are forming their viewpoints from.
Truth. I'm one of those namby pamby Lib Art guys and it's not so easy. Sure, Engineering isn't easy either but... don't knock it until you try it. If you'd like I can bring over my books and you can do a literary analysis of Korean poetry with me.
It's a suitcase! And thank you I think...You must either have a reallllllly large monitor or blew my avatar up...I don't want to know. Nom nom nom....:yumyum:
