thejake1453 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 is it just me, or does the american media hate its own country? from what I hear there only trying to make money, and don't care about the consiquences! if or when america is destroyed and/or brought down it's mostly going to be the media's fault, how will they feel then? they will either feel horrrible guilt at what they have done, or mostlikely go : "ah well, we killed our own country, we need to do a story on this to make more money!" thats the way i see it. and judging from what you guys are saying, the american media are commiting treason, there sopporting the enemy in a time of war! if thats not treason, i don't know what is. but you know something funny? the media over here isn't saying bull like that there more 50/50, they support our troops, but want them to come home.It's a shame Americans are being destroyed by their own country men, 'cos when you think about it, america has done some really good things, for instance, they created democracy, CAPITALISISM!!! if they haddn't done that, every country would be a communist country, and being a communist would suck, they have really stupid ideas, see communism only works on paper, but when you actually do it, its cr@p.

Vagrant0 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 is it just me, or does the american media hate its own country?It's a funny thing really, the main reason why the news shows exist is to keep people interested long enough for them to stick around for commercials. Look at how the typical broadcast is setup, their major news storys aren't talked about until after a few breaks. Then they keep recycling stuff like Anna Nichole's death for two weeks because there's nothing else interesting enough to keep people glues to their TV. It's really alot of marketing. Part of the reason why good news isn't shown as often, people aren't as emotionally charged as when they hear about soaring oil prices, gay senators, or any of the other stuff. It's enough reason to stop watching the news and instead read about events with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Athenians did way back before the Peloponnesian War. We just adopted it and are now trying to make everyone else adopt it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elpiggo Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I think we should be there. If we weren't, there'd have been hundreds of terrorist attacks etc. by now. But it's unbelievable that the Americans just went in with tanks and blew up innocent people. *cough* as usual *cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I think we should be there. If we weren't, there'd have been hundreds of terrorist attacks etc. by now. I'm pretty sure you'll notice a distinct increase in terrorist attacks since the Iraq war began; not the other way around. Iraq was nothing to do with the war on terror (see: Al Qaeda being America's scape-goat for all life's little problems), it was a war for oil guised in the form of WMDs. But it's unbelievable that the Americans just went in with tanks and blew up innocent people. *cough* as usual *cough* People need to be more informed before posting here; that's obviously not what happened. The war went fine. Easy peasy. Some quite big blunders were made (see: friendly fire) but overall, no problemo. It's the aftermath war that they can't cope with. They're obviously not literally tanking it around Iraq gunning down anyone with a slightly different skin colour tone and I'd rather you didn't act naive/ignorant to that fact by posting such useless drivvle.

poopgoblin Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 [WTF? He/She said that saying that America created democracy was the dumbest thing said on on this forum, so how is that acting just like th american media?By not telling the full story. Ninja corrected him, and he admitted he was wrong, but Dark0ne made the comment about it being the dumbest comment that could be said, without aknowledging that thejake admitted he was wrong. Also, when Dark0ne called it the dumbest comment, I think he meant it in good humor, as I'm sure that someone of Dark0ne's stature would've realized the mistake.
