I've recently been introduced to the concept that money is debt. Governements don't just print money notes, they authourise Banks to create money by arranging loans. The money doesn't exist before the Bank arranges the loan, then when a person promises to pay back the loan and signs on the dotted line, the money is keyed in and becomes new money. In this way, banks earn interest on money they lend out that never existed before they lent it. They earn interest money on money they don't have. And it's legal!

How long can this go on?

He bashed Jon Stewart because "only stoners watch The Daily Show and it actually has an impact on the election," got the whole Malmedy thing wrong (and was promptly skewered by Keith Olbermann....wonderful), and bashed James Fetzer for presenting 911 conspracy theories to a "captive audience" (college students who can think for themseleves). How sweet would it be for this loon (to use his own term) to be unemployed?

But he is white. He has a white mother. He's not an African American by any stretch of the imagination. Right or wrong.

What are the good things about censorship in mass media? I've written 5 pages why it is "bad", now I gotta write about 3 pages as to why it is a "good" thing.

Any body have some suggestions?

Thanks

I don’t think the president cares about the people of this country; if he did he would not have sacrificed over 3000 men and woman in a war started with lies. None of the reasons we were given to start this war still exist yet we still get feed more false reasons every day and Americans are still dieing every day. It just amazes me that anyone can believe that we can change a mindset with force. And as my brothers and sisters risk there lives to end a war that did not exist before we started it I ask how will it end?

I can't.

I do NOT support the Troops.

F*ck the troops!!

That would be like opposing the RAPE but supporting the RAPIST!!

You cannot separate a person from his/her actions. YOUR ACTIONS DEFINE YOU.

The "troops" are all scumbag killers, and I hope they suffer before they die, every last one of them.

Killing innocent people because someone TOLD YOU TO is not a justification...

I bet Hitler wanted Germans to "Support the Troops" too, don't you?

It's not any worse than CNN or the silly stuff they call news on my local news channel.

This link - to an article at CNN this morning (Sunday) - tells how US leaders wish to expand the military numbers, to over half a million bodies, by 2012...macho, proud to be American, trained killers, to do the bidding of elected officials. If these folks survive their bloody duties, possible 'friendly fire', and the other horrors and atrocities they participate in, they then become repatriated citizens (in your neighborhood) at home.

Do you feel secure with this reality???

OK-here's the situation....

I worked for an environmental organization last year, and a reporter interviewed me and my boss, then wrote a story he did about us which was in the newspaper and online ..
Problem is---my boss lied to the reporter!!!.. and he told me to lie too!!!..

So now the Article is on-line on the newspapers's website--and I feel guilty because the reporter might get in trouble if any fact-checks his story...
I WANT THE REPORTER TO TAKE THE STORY DOWN FROM THE WEBSITE BECAUSE MY NAME IS IN THE STORY TOO AND I"M SOOO EMBARRASSED!! ---
Should I call the Newspaper's editor??? Will the Editor take it off line!!

Virginia Tech made headlines when 32 kids got killed. Well, last time I checked, 32 people get killed every 8 hours in the USA, but there is no call for tearing them up and pasturizing them. No headlines reveal the real killer of our society. Why?
