News nowadays is not objective in scope , but controlled by a few elite powerful people . Americans need to look at the news media , as manipulative and biased . Only furthering the agendas of Bush and his handlers . There are so many inconsistencies pertaining to the official report on 9/11 , however these issues are just not reported . News is heavily edited and controlled coming out of Iraq . In my opinion the news media is behaving on par with the way Joseph Gerbals and Nazi Germany disseminated information and propaganda to the masses back prior to WW2. Wake up people . America is certainly under attack . But the enemy is within our government , not from some guys in a cave in Afghanistan .

I saw a story on the news today that really shocked me. There was a 29 year old male sex offender, that tried to enroll in school as a 12 year old boy. I guess he was trying to get close to some of the students. That is so sick, but what really got me was, while the school that he tried to enroll in the final time caught him and became suspicious of the situation, he was able to enroll in two other schools in other districts. Wow, people will try anything these days, but i'm shocked the school officials in the other schools weren't aware of the fact that the man wasn't 12 years old. He certainly didn't look 12 at all. Anyone else heard this story?

it's being blown so far out of proportion it's becoming the perfect decoy, drawing attention away from far more important issues. The government is probably thankful to her for the opportunity to play the stern but benevolent chastiser. Jade G would do and say anything to redeem herself at this time. She is geniunely stupid for which she became famous, she has a loud mouth too, and now suddenly she's everybody's favourite person to hate, for those very reasons that made her popular in the first place. Such hypocrisy. Personally i dont believe she was being racist, and that's from someone who cant stand the sight and sound of her.

Can YA now please put a limit on how many questions are allowed per day on the JG and SS circus

So, to the lefties who think he is a pretty neat guy, what do you think about his offensive, racist statement?

To the rest of us, what would you like to say to El Presidente??

Now with 2 air craft carriers sitting by Iran and more and more mobilized forces building up on Iran's border (Iraq); do you think that the US will declare its job done in Iraq and let the Iraqi Forces deal w/ the militias and handle Iran? How far do you tihnk the US will go to attacking Iran?

In a conventional war, Iran would loose miserablly; also what about AMerica's ally, Israel? Do you beleive theyll go straight in with the US or maybe even beat AMerica to attacking Iran?

--
Im not saying theres a plan to attack Iran or anything; but its going to happen. Im asking...

-How long do you think it will be until America and Israel attack
-And how do you think they will go about attacking Iran?

China invaded Tibet, and killed the innocent people there. China's claim for Tibet is outrageous!

Whenever I see the term "troops" in a news headline (for example: "25 troops killed in Iraq today") it makes me think of 25 GROUPS of soldiers. Then, when I read the whole story, I learn it is actually 25 INDIVIDUAL soldiers. Still a terrible loss, but not the massacre I was envisioning when I first read the headline.

I always thought "troop" meant more than one, like a boy scout troop, which is a group of boy scouts. And now I'm wondering if the media purposefully words headlines in this way to make the war seem even worse than it already it, or to snag more readers.

Anyone else think the term is misleading when used in this way? Or am I perhaps unaware of an alternative meaning for the word? Thanks for your input!

I would never have believed that the government could have done these things but a friend told me about the documentary Loose Change and after watching that and a few others i found them very convincing.

Are there any documentarys i can watch that disprove the claims or evidence these documentarys show or any websites i can check out that answer the questions that these documentarys ask ?

If so can you please tell me what they are and where i can find them ?

Thanks

And by "winning" I mean not leaving it so that it turns into a Fundamentalist Muslim theocracy within the year.

On the day she died, one british businessman was asked by the german journalist for his opinion. He expressed his word in german very clear " DAS IST EINFACH ÜBERTRIEBEN" or exorbitant attitude of people who never know her personally, but they cried like children.

I salute him, cause he is a clever man. I would never cry for someone I do not know privately. What for ? I don´t care whether she is an actress or she is just a servant.
