Not to mention that the UN is a democratic institution and Fox is a far right news agency run by a right-wing demagogue.

Even if I was high I wouldn't trust a Fox news article over a United Nations dispatch.

Interesting article about our favorite television company at http://www.csmonitor.com/2003/1009/dailyUpdate.html about a PIPA/Knowledge networks poll, the American public on international issues: Misperceptions, the media, and the Iraq war.

Wow, by my scale Fox is a little left of center and the U.N. might as well be run by Barbara Streisand and Mr. Natural

JCKnife,

Why did you ignore my post? I'd like to hear what you think. None of it comes from the UN, just from the United States government.

He's a troll? I've only just entered the political threads, but I only thought we had the one troll. I thought he was a person who honestly disagreed.

I don't think JCKnife is a troll at all, just someone with an opinion I disagree with. It might be considerate if we keep most of this conversation to one or two threads, rather than the current six or seven. Even though we're posting in 'Real World Discussions' it does flood the front page, and this is a Firefly board after all.

I think I'm reaching the point in this headache where EVERYONE is a troll. Yes, myself included.

Yes, spreading these discussions over several threads does kind-of flood the front page. On the other hand, these discussions get a LOT of posts.

28 posts (28 today) Censorship or Freedom of Choice?

140 posts (10 today) The Demonization of the Opposition

and so on.

The question for others who may be more familiar with websites - would it be possible to have certain threads tagged, and put over in an accessible spot, but removed from the general 'discussions' listing? If possible, whom does one ask to have this done?

Oh, it was IRAN? With an "n" not Iraq with a "q"?


What I'm wondering is... how can Bush keep ignoring the fact that most of hijackers were... uh... Saudi?
