Politics - 23 September 2006

Threre are no gay news anchors (on the major cable stations), ever noticed that?
If the media is so liberal, why are they so non-PC?

Or was it always this way?

Case in point:
O'Reilly
Beck
Dobbs
Grace
Hannity
Scarbourough

Press
Carlsom
Matthews

People are either a liberal or a conservative, we can even see touches of this in the non-talk show news anchors!

It seems that in Murrow's day- TV news was more of a civics lesson, and had the purpose of education.

Today, news seems to have more entertainment value.

Do you believe new was better in Murrow's day....or today?

Okay I know this is a generalization but speaking about the majority of conservatives...


Evolution - factual - conservatives deny it.

Global warming - at first denied it was happening, now denying man contributes to it despite overwhelming evidence.

Homosexuality exists - conservatives claim it's a lifestyle choice.

What's up with that?

Even though Earth goes through natural stages of change....it's important to remember that all the pollution, and the multiple carbons stay in the atmosphere!

Do you believe in global warming, or is it something to scare people?

Man made global warming is here. It is a fact. As much a fact as gravity. Worse still the most recent studies in the polar caps show that it is accelerating at an alarming rate, possibly worse than some of the less optimistic predictions. It may or may not be possible to stop/reverse.

Added to the problem itself is the fact that each country is operating in competition with every other. For one country to make the necessary changes proportional to its contribution, that would put that country at an enormous economic disadvantage, leading economic collapse and ultimately massive loss of life. Therefore only unilateral agreement will allow effective counter warming action to be taken. Even then countries will flout their commitments in order to give themselves an economic advantage. Add to this fact that some counties rely soley on sale of global-warming products for their survival, additionally politicians of other countries are in their 'pockets'. Do we really have a chance?

Do you not woory that in a short time that using torture will ecome a tool for everyday interogation in the United states .
What if we arrest a known drug dealer but some how the shipment of 2 pounds of meth is missing .Do we use torture to make him tell us what we want to know .After all it will kill people .Same if he is dealing perscription drugs like methadone for pain which is known to kill people .
See if a kidnapper is caught but the child is still not found do we use torture .
Once we allow it in any form to corrupt our legal system and method of interogation it will be abused by people who say yeah but this guy you know we had to to get the information or people would have died .
I fear any nation that allows torture and now that my own does i fear for all those people in the future who will give false confessions and be subjected to hours and hours of torture in a vain attempt to get what we want out of them .
I understand that our troops are and have been treated badly .

Can anyone tell the difference between the Tories and New Labour? Have we got the politicians we deserve? Is voting for the Lib Dems a wasted vote? Was there ever any choice in the first place?

Questions, questions....
