    It would be interesting to see the comparison. Hmm. Maybe worldwide, but US?

      Lancer :
      I do NOT hope for American parents to die. I do NOT prefer a dead American to a dead Iraqi, or the other way around. Death of people is the worst that can happen, especially when they're essential to their family (whether elderly, wive or kids).
      I oppose the war strictly for these reasons, because I don't think the imperialistic interests of the Bush admin is worth all the dramas and tears they will cost.
      Both to the American people and to the Iraqi people.

        No, US... and CNN killed Fox News.

        It was just O'Reilly and maybe one other show that beat CNN in the same time slot. Everything else is dominated by CNN, and these would be US numbers.

          I'm possitive that these children were not being harrassed. The teacher was probably just saying to the class that there is some doubt to the justification for war and the child took it the wrong way. I would be suprised if a teacher singled out a kid and attacked his or her parents in front of the class. These kinds of misunderstandings happen.

              I don't know why people say CNN is biased. Perhaps inaccurate, perhaps fairly dry. But in terms of favoring policies of Democrats or Republicans I don't think there is any real noticeable bias.

                Just like those people that treat anything from CNN as immediatly suspect?

                    They are not being hassled, the teachers are just using their right to free speach! How they do is not of importance....

                      Hogwash. The parents might feel differently.

                        I bet you wouldn't be bothered about teachers hassling French kids.

                          You would lose that bet.

                              It seems you missed my sarcastic remark that hinted back to a earlier debate about the crowd at a womens basketball game where the audience where verbally assualting a player that faced away from the flag during the anthem. As this behavoir is considerd in perfect order for some around here why shouldn't this?
