RE: Is this a healthy habit?

Using the negativity from others to do something you do not want to do is a terrible reason and, very unhealthy as it places your soul outside your own person. However, if you were going to do that anyhow then their negativity simply adds to the reasons why you personally wish to succeed.

The latter is how most people excel in many service jobs such as military, police, firefighters etc. It is pressure of failure and the pride of doing well coupled with the honor they bestow on themselves from others that drives them. Once started on this path, it lasts a lifetime.

That's good btw.

RE: Obama takes over GM

Better. And I'm looking forward to it, it'll feel great to be back in uniform again comrade Toranoga.

RE: Obama takes over GM

You had better. Being fluent in newspeak will ensure your place on the soup line.

RE: Obama takes over GM

No cause for concern comrade.

Spanish Court Considers Criminal Case Against Ex-Bush Officials

What's really interesting is this;



Oh, and just in case anybody thinks that Fox is biased (although this obviously shows they are not) even Al Jazerra agrees with them.

Fox News

As I showed they had no bias in the above examle, the existing evidence leans in my favor as does Occam's Razor. Try as you might, it is rather difficult to prove a negative so according to the existing evidence and logic, so far, you are wrong.

RE: Do you agree with raising tobbaco prices?

What's interesting about al this is that the anti tobacco types who petitioned for this will eventually get what they want, and, what they never figured on. As more people quit smoking due to prices and morreso, the bans on areas where one can light up, the government will have to make up the tax shortfall somehow. That somehow will be spread across the board to ex smokers and non smokers who have never smoked alike.

Finally they will get to test their 'health benifit' savings plan in real life. I have a feeling they're not going to like it. On the other hand, smokers when they quit will realize a savings no matter what.

Fox News

Perfectly fine.

And, from what I have seen and read, I certainly believe that you are very mistaken.

Fox News

Robbie

Here Robbie, it's really not hard. Here I offer an unbiased report on Obama and his meeting with Karazi.

Fox


MSNBC


CNN


Frankly, I don't see any difference in the stories. Read them if you like but they're all just as complimentary to Obama and his plan, even Fox strangely enough.

Robbie

You are certainly not adding to the strength of your contention by complaining how I should google quotes for you.



That's a theory. Do you have proof that we can look at?



Is it? I can't count the amount of times people have said that Fox News is extremely biased. If you believe so then please provide some proof. If you don't believe they are then that's fine too but please, add to the discussion rather than attack me for asking for proof of a contention.

Fox News

Robbie, please read the OP where I ask "Can you provide examples of lies in news reporting or omission by Fox News?

Can you provide examples of lies in news reporting or omission by CNN, MSNBC or any other news agency? "

Evidently you cannot so why did you bother venturing onto the only active thread on the C&P forums?

Fox News

To show that systematic bias in Fox's news reporting is no more than any other news agency, is only in the mind of the left and is not reality.



Well golly Robbie, is it really that difficult to provide a link to a news story and then a brief quote of the lie?



They don't exist, that is my point entirely so, they cannot be found by myself or, others. You seemed so sure that google had tons but seem to have been unable to produce any.



You expect others to use google but you are unable to actually peruse the news at the Fox News site and compare to another agency to support your contention? Golly.



It's a subject open for anybody and you walked in. That it has been the only active thread in the past five hours with eleven posts proves you wrong.

Fox News

Yes. It's called quote and provide a link. I give you an example below.



The time being between three and six am might also be a factor.



I didn't find any examples, just rants.



You should be able to provide a few stories from the past month or so and line them up beside any of the other networks to show the lies easy enough then.

Heidi

You and Robbie contend that Fox is a systematic culprit when in this case, the error was the consultant's. Many other networks back this up as they ran with the same story.





In order to prove bias on the part of Fox, rather than the error of a consultant they used you need something other than your opinion.

Fox News

It was a genuine mistake and the others followed as you say, like sheep because nobody had solid sources. Bush and Jeb had a cousin doing the analysis and had talked to the guy shortly prior to the call saying he won. The moron took them at their word, just as all the other news networks did.

So, as for what more do I want, I asked for proof, not an instance where they made the same mistake as all the other networks.

Fox News

The same as ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN did.

RE: what did you do during the blackout?

I went out for a run and then got back and it was only a quarter to nine so, shoveled mine and the neighbors sidewalk as it snowed a little Friday night.

Fox News

Referred to by some left leaning types as 'Faux Noise' when quoted, stories from this agency are often dismissed as lies.

This thread asks two questions, both which require proof rather than opinion;

Can you provide examples of lies in news reporting or omission by Fox News?

Can you provide examples of lies in news reporting or omission by CNN, MSNBC or any other news agency?

RE: Cull Thy Neighbour!

Not so fast Rusty. If I'm going to be winning then I'm going to have to get on board here. What channel would I tune to?

RE: Cull Thy Neighbour!

I don't think so as I for one don't watch tv and am sure many others don't. Therefore, it would have no appeal for people like me and many others.

RE: Baby seal Killing

We have the appitite, means and willingness to do so therefore we are the predator by nature.

RE: Baby seal Killing

There was an interesting question somebody made awhile back about what was more moral, to kill a million chikens or one whale.

RE: Baby seal Killing

Seal hunting supports people with little or no other source of income. While it would be great to make money without hurting any living thing reality dictates that somebody has to kill the cattle, chickens, fish and such that we humans consume. In this case, there are strict guidelines on what may be killed and how it is killed and admittedly, sometimes (more like often) those guidelines are breached in the skinning process.

Seals produce a skin that is of no equal for clothing such as boots and gloves and thier meat is in high demand in Asia. Seals if left to their own threaten fish species that we humans need to survive off of hence, it is a partial culling process whereby the population is kept to a cetain level much like wolves, bears and deer are in many places of North America.

Other than the carelessness of killing seals often leading to the live skinning and the illegal killing of babies before they are permitted to be killed (which can all be addressed by more on site government supervision) I have no moral problems with this. People living in areas where there is no work depend on this hunt to feed their families much like you would require a job to feed yours. The difference is, you have options that do not require you to work in an industry that kills fish, seals or whales that is the only game in town.

RE: religion

Lady is smart and, to the point right on.

Religion is about peace but some use it in a quest for power. Hence, it is like a tool, an issue to use to fulfil that quest.

RE: Science in the classroom

Very good point and one on which I, as a believer in Intelligent Design subscribe to however, Darwinism can, even with all those gaps, be explained for much of it while ID is, for all of it, simple belief and cannot be considered science at this point.

RE: Science in the classroom

I guess you are n agreement with me as I never said that evolution was flawless in fact, I used the words "evolution is a science with the ability to test theories and make discoveries based on proved theories."

On the other hand, intelligent design is one huge gap with no proven theories or even tests that are able to be conducted that (we know about) to prove it's viability so at the moment, only through philosophical examination can it be theoreticly proved.

And while I appreciate your impartiality, and how religion does not enter into your rationale, intelligent design is, at the moment, purely based on religion or, at least on a belief of an unproven imagainary force which is higher than us. In a nutshell, God.

RE: Science in the classroom

Simply because some believe that Intelligent Design is science when in reality, it is an argument for religion. On the other hand, evolution is a science with the ability to test theories and make discoveries based on proved theories.

Myself, I believe both should be taught - evolution in science class and intelligent design be touched upon there as well and expanded on in philosophy courses.

RE: Advice..Ladies

Short.

Oh, and mention my name a lot in the same sentence as 'undying love' and it could be considered a fair profile.

RE: why we are here on this site?

I'm here for the cool advertisements and the polls.

RE: Question: After getting along so well online - what makes a guy drop off from the face of the earth?

RE: War on poverty---Is there an exit strategy?

Sadly true I believe.



Losing the war on poverty is to create an entire sub society of peasants which would undermine society and, bankrupt what is left of it though ncreased law enforcement due to escalating crime and the increased violence borne of desparation.

To lose the war on terror is to lose income from investments as countries fall to Qutbism placing immense pressure on what is left of the economy.

Together, both of these factors could lead to the destruction of the government. And, if that happens, the able will run to the hills only to discover they're already occupied.

RE: War on poverty---Is there an exit strategy?

Sure. I agree wholeheartedly. Change the tactics however, the exit strategy is still victory as the war must be won.
