A day in the life of Fox News

[Tupac Shakur]

People can read the thread and make up their own mind about that. I suspect I'll come out ahead, however, as I provided more value in that one post than you have in the entire thread.

[DaShi]

That's true. Unfortunately, that post had little to do with the topic of thread. I did show that you can google articles for the purpose of this thread. Now can you apply them to the topic at hand. That's something you've never done before on Apolyton.

Quit repeating and try thinking.

[DaShi]

Or maybe you'll get lucky and KH will do all the work for you, again.

[Tupac Shakur]

The topic at hand was boring.

[MrFun]

I just want to see Dashi and Tupac make out.

[DaShi]

Only I have copies of those videos.

You and Dashi both.

Wow, three opinion pieces. Got anything remotely objective?

Of course, even your first opinion piece admits that in China flights of businessmen between the two cities fell from 11 million per year to 3 million as soon as HSR was completed while HSR usage was off the charts high. Sure, poor people who's time isn't worth much will still go by bus since that's the cheapest way to get around (but takes the longest) but the fact remains HSR has been a fly away success in China just like virtually every where else it has been built. Naturally, people in rural areas think it is a waste of tax money since it doesn't directly benefit them but really who gives a **** about them? Most of the tax money comes from the cities just as most of the population lives in cities so having public policy designed to benefit the VAST MAJORITY of the population seems common sense to me.

Those of folks in fly over country can belly ache all they want but they get way to much pandering done for them by politicians since rural dumb ****s are over represented in the Senate. Those welfare dirt bags can talk about "my tax dollars" when those lazy good for nothings actually pay some net taxes instead of being a drain on the national economy. They demand endless farm subsidies, and endless ethanol subsidies (it wasn't environmentalists who pushed that but the corn lobby), and they always suck up vastly more federal money then they pay so they should all just die as far as I'm concerned. They're all a bunch of lazy good for nothing welfare queens who want to throw a hissy fit when we, the people who live in urban states who are stuck subsidizing their worthless asses, actually want something for ourselves for a change.

Oerdin, isn't California's high-speed rail projected to cost ~$45 billion? I think that's ~$1200 for every person in California. Would you rather have high-speed rail or receive a $1200 check?

[Dinner]

$1200 amortized over 30 years is pocket change. In addition $15-$20 billion of it is coming from the Feds thanks to the dumb **** Republican governors who turned down HSR funds. That means even with cost over runs the per person debt will end up very favorably especially since the cost is amortized over three decades. This is a no brainer, slam dunk.

Um, no; only the piece that ran in the China Economic Review is even remotely an 'opinion piece'. Jesus Christ, are you ever right about anything?

You are dumb. I mean really drooling idiot class dumb some times. Watch the video in the WaPo article and listen to the author introduce himself... As an opinion writer for their editorial section.

[Tupac Shakur]

Did you miss the banner declaring the piece to be in the World news section?



I won't even ask you what in the article made you think it was an opinion piece, as you clearly didn't read it...

edit: Even better! After clicking on the video, I discovered it featured a completely different writer than the person who wrote the news piece!

Go ahead and watch the first five seconds, you stupid clown. Listen to him explain he's from the EDITORIAL PAGE.

Since you don't seem to know what that means here's the wiki: "The editorial page (also known as the opinion page) is the page reserved in a newspaper or magazine for the publication's editorial. ..."

As for the blog associated with the Economist (which is a magazine I like and subscribe to) read The Economist's published position of blogs. Here's a hint they are a place for individual writers to editorialize and post their personal opinions without reflection on the official position of The Economist Magazine.

In short, you're being a ****** as usual. All three are opinion pieces.

See above, you ****ing idiot...
