I disagree. We sit by and watch as dumbasses burn our flag, and insult us personally. As a culture, we do not freak at the little stuff.

This thread is proof that you're wrong. Again.

If they knew about it. Personally, I wouldn't care but then I've never been very religious. To me, the Bible is just a book.

Well, me too.

Pretty much shows you which way they are heading.

Hmm... I didn't see "hell in a handbasket" listed as an option.

Nah, I just wrote it down verbatim from my favorite liberal television news programs. A mind is a terrible thing.

Oh, and all my news comes from MichaelMoore.com... he's as unbiased as they come.

The newsweek story at the center of the controversy was not about the desecration of the Koran. It was actually about the findings of a report on interrogation abuses due to be released by the US Southern Command. The Koran-flushing incident was one example cited in one sentence about previously-unr...

The source is only anonymous to us, not to them. Clearly it was a source they trusted, but when a source recants, there's only so much a publication can do. Besides, as I mentioned, they ran the article past the pentagon and that accusation was not challenged. You don't run a story like that with o...

Brad, I think it's US intolerance towards things we don't understand that contributes to US hatred (ie the Koran). But I agree with you on the polarization. The fact that some folks think you can only be on one side or the other is indicative of how devisive that sort of mentality can be. It's a big...

Media bias- just once source. http://www.lifenews.com/nat1337.html A couple of things... 1) This refers more to the voting habits of the 300 journalists surveyed only. But journalists don't decide what goes in the paper, the editors do. 2) The stats quoted on the site don't jive with the numbers in...

The media has voted overwhelmingly democrat for the last 25 years. THIS IS A STAT AND IS FACT!!! I will find a link and post if people want. I'd like to see it... A 2004 MIT study that reviewed newspaper endorsements between 1904 and today found that in the 1940s and 1950s newspaper endorsements we...

Priceless.

Can you cite your soucre where Newsweek ran it past the Pentagon? This is an exrtremely contraverisal story. Correct? Newsweek has one Of course I can. If you haven't stumbled across the same (widely-available) information, I'd be curious just how much research you've actually done on the issue bef...

Nazi halloween costumes.

actually Newsweek ran the story past the pentagon before publication and it didn't dispute the item. Nor did the white house object when the item was first published. all that's happened here is that a previously reliable source has recently changed his story and now backed away from his claim. ther...

Awesome.

Guys are silly looking naked. Why women have anything to do with us and our various, um, appendages is a mystery to me, but I'm damn glad it works out that way.
