First off, everyone who has posted in this thread has agreed that the media is biased, including yourself and Mr. Dave. Second, I never urged anyone to suicide bomb the fox news corporation. I don't think that type of action would resolve anything. Only love can conquer hate-Marvin ***e

By your past statements, its easy to conclude you don't watch fox news.

Yeah, if you had read, you would have noticed that I said I listen to it.

By your own admission you haven't seen all of "outfoxed" and I suspect nothing else that disrupts their assertions of "fair and balanced" like the F.A.I.R. report.

Thank you for furthering my point. At least you have a very unique way of arguing against my hollow presentations.

And given that you're listing the above mentioned things as a reason for why he's "bias" against your opinion (which is laughable), I'll remind you being the worldly chap that you are that I'm a U.S. citizen by all accounts, our gun control is viciously enforced, and our health care system is one of the more advanced int he country.

You said 'reason for why he's "bias" against your opinion there', and to be honest, I'm really not sure who you're talking about. For the second point, either they have much stricter gun control laws in Canada, or they just don't have nearly as many guns, because violent crime is virtually nonexistent up there. 'Our health care is one of the more advanced in the country,' I assume you meant world, which simply isn't true, and Canada's outshines us by a light year.

You came up with 2 reasons Barrack Obama shouldn't be president. I've cast a vote for the man and I could muster up more than that.

Its not that you want him elected stupid,

I'm glad that we're having a mature, nonpartisan discussion here

Quote:

its that you can't see the issue from all sides. If you can't do that, you ought not to speak on the issue.

Uh, well the Clintons are liars, probably nearly as much as the Bushes. I feel the same about Barrack Obama. John McCain stands above George W. Bush and **** Cheney IMO, because he actually served in the military, rather than making painstaking efforts to avoid it. As for seeing issues from both sides, I just now began to do that. Sorry, I didn't realize I was the news. I mean, it would be hypocritical of me to say the media is biased and then be extremely biased myself. However, I haven't been really smearing the R's candidates. All I have been talking about is how the right has been doing that to the left, and somehow I've gotten way out of line and should no longer speak on the issues according to you.

I really have no idea what TheBig3KilledMyRainDog is on about. The more I read his ramblings the more I am confused as to what he is saying.

Literally, a month ago, you were running around saying Hillary Clinton cared about the people and was completely honest (TheUsed2lGuy)...Anyway John Mccain said he's cool with us staying in Iraq for 100 years people actually think this warmongering twat is a good thing?

Zombeels · 05-01-2008, 12:48 AM

American mainstream media is the ****s.*

Actually, it was a few months ago, and I said I thought she was genuine. I am still supporting Hillary, although I am perplexed by her obvious pandering to conservatives, and opportunistically hopping a ride on the Repulbican bus to run over Obama.
Ha! You really make me Lol with that comment, Crowquill, because literally a few months ago, you said McCain was alright for a Republican. The irony is obvious, since you were trying accuse me of hypocrisy. ha ha

I had no idea about the Iraq statement a few months ago and besides I said something to the effective of "I don't know much about him but he bashed Falwell which makes him much better than Huckabee." Hardly the same as arguing passionately about how honest Hillary is.

Miltamec Soundsquinaez · 05-01-2008, 01:34 AM

Ha! See, you're doing what the media does. You're taking what I said, which is that I thought she was genuine, and spinning it by saying that i passionately argued that she's honest.
Genuine and Honest may be similar adjectives, but you are literally changing my words to suit your argument.
I know you didn't mean to do it like FoxNews, but I have to point it out, because we're in this thread, and that is exactly what they do. They spin people's words around, and take them out of context.

yes - stricter gun laws and a giant sinkhole of money for a registry that hampers people who purchase firearms for legitimate reasons and does virtually nothing to control the illegal arms used in crimes.

from what i've heard there are more guns per capita in canada than the US

violent crime is non existant in canada? wrong. with only 10% of the population of the US though it's not going to be as predominant. nice generalization again though.

if the canadian healthcare system is so much better than the american one why is it that so many healthcare professionals head south after graduation? why are waiting times for necessary but non life threatening procedures measure in YEARS?

You got some data to back that up. First I heard of that

I think the healthcare is considered better for the patients and not the healthcare professionals. Pay is better in the US in some areas so a lot of professionals leave for the bigger piece of pie. Also all Canadians have access to heathcare and don't get screwed by scrupulous heath care insurance companies. The waiting times depend on what region. No one ever said Canadian Healthcare is perfect but as a whole it is better for everyone and not just the rich.
