brainwashed by corporate owned media

I'm not brainwashed

My mind is filthy!

I looooove it! 2 pages and only one person has bothered to actually debate or offer up some reasons why they disagree.

Duh shit! Everyone thinks they are speaking the truth or else they are lying. What sense does it make to say something you think is false? Nobody here should have to post 'This is just my opinion, I could be wrong.' with every post. Get real and drop the whining! But of course, I can admit to being wrong and change my mind when presented with facts that contradict my beliefs. I don't resort to saying 'Tell Osama I said fuck you.' instead of coming up with something constructive to bring to the table.

I think 'al Jazzera' is Arabic for 'Fair And Balanced'.

So Abook, what do the great unbrainwashed believe. Any idiot can rant on about what they don't believe. This is your moment to enlighten us with what you believe.

honestly, I think its about how your lover/partner has always used bluecheese dressing. what do you think to yourself? Such thoughts as "not on my health" or...."Its tooo creamish and....overfloody for the tastebuds."

Well guess what??

I had some today......and i liked it!!!!


Did it have to do with quantity or quality? Look. I dont know, but it mixed well with the particular salad that I had.


I dont think there is more that needs to be said.

Thanks.

You're an intelligent fella Know1. It's a shame that too often you choose to simply knock people/or their opinions down without making any constructive criticism of them. Your posts would be far more interesting if you put some meat on their bones and backed up what you say with some source/background information. I believe that it was not wholly unconstructive of Abookamongstthemany to put forward these points. I just don't see what good it does to make a side-swipe at his post without giving us something to feed on.

Thanks. I wasn't knocking anybody. Many of those statements are just unsubstantiated "catch phrases" and I find it completely humorous that people will believe one side of them but call those who believe the other side (also completely unsubstantiated) as brainwashed.

Here - you only need to look as far as the very first statement. Can anyone show me that the "almost all" of the media in the U.S. are controlled by 5 corporations?

(I'll bet that someone can, but I'll bet that someone else just as easily can show that "almost all" isn't controlled by 5. After all, "media" is quite subjective).

Great post!

I agree with everything you said...all of you. After all, the truth does not matter, but how I feel about what the truth seems to be, that is what counts.

I feel therefore I vote.

What is your truth? Can you even state an opinion without insulting or using a backhanded compliment? I dont believe you can, therefore your truth is nothing but dogshit.

the truth? I watch the #1 most watched new channel in the country for 5 years in a row. The fair and balanced Fox News Channel. I just found out I have been brainwashed. I'm kinda upset about it, I apologize.

Why do you hold people to a standard higher than you're willing to accept? This is not the first time over the course of a week that you've complained about someone being insulting, and yet you've built your board reputation on that very tactic.

Upset, I should say so!!! I been watching Fox for longer than that. I like to tune in for a few minutes in the morning just to make sure it's safe to leave the house, and what's this I'm being BRAINWASHED. Well I gotta tell you I'm just flat out PISSED. Frankly, I am just as shocked as you are. But now it's all starting to make sense, why I take issue with so many posts here, yeah like oh oh oh God my head huuuurts.

Building a board reputation? I think you need to get out a little more if you are doing things like building a board rep. LMAO !! A little sunshine wont hurt ya !! Go on, dont be afraid, go do something besides pandering on a board.
