Actually, since it lauched in English, I have probably watched it in equal measure to BBC24, Sk* news, and a fair bit more than CNN, as it does a far better job of fair reporting on World issues.
eg today I have not seen anything elsewhere on the Swiss man who got 10 years for insulting the King of Thailand, the rising death toll in getting Bejing ready for the Olympics, the brothel owner abducted by students in Pakistan and publicaly forced to recant, the continuing escalation in Somalia (never seen a mention elsewhere on the Gaza's flood of sewage which drowned a fair few folk which was down to sanctions a couple of days ago).
The Beeb and Sk* are just concentrating on the split of the Home Office , the 15 folk in Iran, Steve bloody Maclaren and how the fermers are making off with satchels of free EEC moolaaah. ( :wink: 4th gen)


Maybe you should give it a try FUD.

Its all propaganda, hadrian. I have read all kinds of news from all kinds of sources. Cnn and bbc are pretty much the same. I've read Iranian news, australian, north korean and other news from other parts of the world to get their perspective, from left to right. My god (yes, I said the g word), I've even listened to Rush Limbaugh for a few seconds at a time, and the man is not just giving us his view of the world, the man is in a psychotic world all his own. Damn scary, I tell ya. :shock:

So tell me.. which news do you think is the unsanitized version, the true "fair and balanced," the one we can depend on like god (woops, there's that g word again). The one unbiased source that you use that is better than any source a devilopian such as myself might be privvy to? Because if there is one, I can quit wasting my time reading different sources and having to depend on my common sense, knowledge and instinct to know what is BS and what is truth. They all have an agenda, and they all slant it to different degrees.

Interesting about denver and the pie eating contest.. I hadn't heard that :lol: :lol: They must save all the good news for you :wink:

To get back to the topic, thats a cute little polar bear :mrgreen:

At least it was god with a lower case ''g'' !

As to the news? Dont trust TGS news services at all - propoganda machine. Brit news? Beeb slightly more than Sk* and ITN not at all since they ditched 24 hour service (if it is worth it -do it).
Have to admit Al Jazeera seems fairest in perspective to me for truly World stuff as it is a Pan service and it is not 1 country or sect or dictator it caters too/for and the quality of journo's it brought in since lauching the English service is excellant.


In years gone past however it would have been Pravda or ''comical Ali'' for up to the minute truth :wink: .


Actualy now thinking on it, gosh I would have been an even bigger news hound if they had this level of coverage in the 70's (man).
Vietnam (the glory years 71-75), Angola, Congo, Cambodia, Portugal, Spain, Cod-Wars.

As the old Chinese curse goes ''may you live in ''interesting'' times''

" I thought you Communists did not believe in the afterlife".
1. By living longer.
2. As an Atheist I can't except superstition in any shape or form. Communists on the other hand may have some long lingering left over indoctrinated traits.
Communism and Atheism, are two distinct, separate non antagonistic and complimentary species. It is not really surprising that you confuse the two. never mind we live and learn.
:D

As I have said, you can not OVERCOME death, unless you are willing to accept an afterlife or reincarnation. I am also aware of what an Athiest and a Communist is. On the other hand, you appear to have a problem sticking to the facts and the point in question. Indeed, some of us do live and learn, for others it is too late as they become isolated and blinkered :wink: [/url]

Friend Of Dorothy,
So how does one overcome death, by excepting an afterlife or reincarnation, I thought that in order to gain your heaven , one has to die first. As to my perceived problem of not sticking to the facts and the point, please feel free to enlighten.

Blinkered, isolated, too late too learn, problem sticking to facts, your the one who is name calling.
If you are as aware, as you claim to recognise the difference between Atheist and Communist, why the question begs, did you state that Communists didn't belief in god as opposed to Atheist? :wink:
