You wouldn't want me to be more thoughtful when I'm in a bad mood and somebody is pissing me off. It's for the better of everyone...

No. If your thoughtful when your angry, its very good for everyone.

Look: You were acting like a tw4t, I treated you like one, and you got angry. Deal with it.

You are proving my point Asher. You cannot accept friendly advice because you always think that the sender is always trying to say "Har har, I'm smarter than U! har har har".

If you can't take advice, then how will you ever grow?

Then to further dig yourself a hole, you drag it out in public.

I'm not the one not accepting PMs, now am I?

No? Didn't think so....

I haven't seen it either, and I guess that your version of events is probably closer to the truth than Daz's, but nevertheless it seems odd that you would attack his interpretation of the footage without even having seen it yourself.

Like I said, I'm inclined to believe Daz is just trolling, but I'm certainly not going to argue about it if I haven't had the chance to forge my own opinion of the footage in question. To do so seems silly.

I'm arguing with him based on his description of what he claims shows that the footage was faked. There's nothing wrong with that.

We all know how independant these "embedded" journalists are...

Luckily there are serveral journalists left who don't want to be "embedded" into a military unit...

Unfonrtunately the US says they won't protect them at all, like that Journalist who got killed just recently by the Americans.. Well we all know how top quality CNN is

[Daz]

Asher: I give up. You win. Hooray.

You can go back watching CNN now...

NYE:

"Why do you think the same thing could not happen now?"

It could, but it's quite unlikely. The media are pampering the politicians instead of controlling them, even the Washington Post and the NY Times. If you compare it with what the british or german press have to say about politicians, it's incredibly lame.

"I don't see anyone's journalists, grouped on nationality, to have any higher credibility than the Yanks, with very few exceptions. Most have far less."

Pretty fat call. Well, how much do you know about german or french journalism, hmm?

No, I just think of more creative places for you to go to when I'm thoughtful and angry...

I can take advice, just not from certain people. You happen to be one of those people...

That's because I, once again, overestimated your intelligence. I'd assumed you'd be smart enough/mature enough to let it die. C'est la vie.

You are hardly one to be talking about maturity when some people are on your "list" of "I can accept advice from" and "I can't for whatever reason."



You could easily open the PM box and we could duke it out in private....If thats what you actually want, of course

There's nothing wrong with not taking advice from people you have zero respect for.

I wouldn't take advice from Albert Speer, nor Giancarlo either.

That's not immature, it's practical.

I don't want to duke it out, I wanted it to die, which is why I locked the damn box to begin with. But you wouldn't have that, would you.

HershOstropoler:

But there are literally millions of them. Do you think that every single person in American media is out to cover for Bush and co? I refer you to Michael Moore's recent outburst. He is fairly close to the mind set of many in American media. Do you think Mr. Moore is pampering Mr. Bush?

Haha. I left myself an out. 'Very few exceptions'. Most of those would be found in Western Europe. But what do French people do about knowing that their President is a lying, theiving, hack? At least the Yanks require that theirs have never been caught before.

You deny yourself knowledge because it comes from a source you dont respect? Maybe I could route it through a source you respect?

that, would you.

All one simply has to do is stop responding to the poster in order to kill a subject.....It becomes much easier if there are less people involved

If Albert Speer sent you a PM giving you "friendly advice", would you take it?

How about HARDMAN? Or CivNation?

It was dead a couple days ago, and I'd prefer it stay that way.

I realize that as a philosopher, you truly enjoy flamewars and have nothing better to do with your time, but I'd rather spend my time on Apolyton not virtually strangling someone.

FrustratedPoet: Funny that YOU mention the term TROLL. Attacking is the best defense, eh...?

The report was on a Swiss/Austrian TV station 3Sat, and was called "How the reporting becomes faking" and it featured what I explained above.

No clip was available at the web site just a text on what the schow was about

Amerika im Krieg: Seit Tagen bringen die Medien ihre Bilder in Stellung. Die Front reicht bis an den Times Square. Die Schlacht gerät zum Videoclip. Moderatoren und Reporter inszenieren den Wüstenkrieg als Live-Spektakel. Dabei sein ist alles bei diesem schaurigen Event. Es gilt, die patriotische Schlacht medial zu verkaufen. (Bild: CNN)

I wont bother translating, because you'll say that that it just MY view of the translation...

Now YOU stop TROLLING.

If it was good advice, then yes.

Regarding the philosopher bit....I thank you for your compliment

but I'd rather spend my time on Apolyton not virtually strangling someone.

But thats all that happens here in the OT......

What if it was incredibly stupid, obvious, and for something you already addressed?

You can take it as one, but you know that's not how it was intended.

Hey Tass, Asher. Please.... the on-topic posts are being lost in your spam....

Cut it out...
