I don't understand how the far left is bad yet the far right is good, both are equaly as bad and biased. Sure, there is some liberal bias in the media as is there conservative bias in the media, but most of the media just has a ratings bias. That's what they do, they don't just make stuff up, they take a fact and then add their twist, it's the nature of "news" entertainment. But scientific facts are, global climate has risen 1.4 degrees and it's melting the polar caps, yellow stone is in fact an active super volcano (all active volcanoes eventualy erupt), the economy is looking pretty bad, and an asteroid or comet will eventualy strike the earth (it's happened all throughout earths history & will continue to do so). I'm not going to debate it any further, but I thought a little centrist light should be shed;^]

Get the puck out of here with that bullshit. Rush, Bill, and Sean are quiet? Gentlemen, please stop kicking around these terms, you have been indoctrinated by Fox. You did not come up with "far left and liberal media", they made these terms up and you are using them, just like the little sheep that follow them. The only difference between Rush and Bill is, Bill uses KY, so it just seems like you like it. I can think for myself, and do not have to be told over and over, that you are "fair and balanced". What a crook of shit. If you need someone to figure out the truth for you and feed it to you every night, you are stupid, I don't care if it's from the right or left. Do not quote numbers to me, if you got those numbers from someone else, like they told you the truth. So one group is telling you we are in dire times, but you want to believe those that are responsible for it, when they say we are not? So, they are telling you the whole truth? Please with this naive bullshit. Have you been laid off? If not, please do not quote silly numbers to me. I want to hear from the person that has been laid off, so they can tell me how bad it is. You mutha puckers that are still working, should shut up about unemployment, because you are talking out the side of your necks. It's like telling a cancer patient, you know how they feel. No you don't. You do not know how hot the fire is, until you have been in it. What makes me laugh is when Bill tells you how high his ratings are. Jerry Springer, and Howard Stern, have high ratings, and I don't watch them either. You can find shit programs all over the air waves. One of Bill's favorite sayings is, "I don't want to try this case, on TV". Oh really, what the puck have you been doing the last 20 minutes? He is so smooth, but I am not easily manipulated, by any media. A lot of the "conservatives", are still running around in a daze, pining for days gone by. They remember when the genius Reagan, was in office. The one with the "Trickle Down" economics plan (also referred to as getting pissed on), or described by his soon to be vice president, as "VooDoo Economics". Look, if you think the actor was great, I am not gonna burst your bubble, but just ask you to think on your own. I know we are doomed as a planet, and this is based on my own observations. I try to keep it simple. If you think we can keep raping this planet of all it's natural resources, and get away with it, you are wrong. This big ball we call earth, is spinning because of what it's made of. We keep taking, and taking. Ore, gold, oil, silver, diamonds, you name it, we take it. Now, if you believe in a superior being, I think all religions believe in the final days. In the meantime, if you still have a job, and are doing well, good for you. However, there are many that are not doing well at all. Do not snub your nose at them.
My ex wife just loss her job last week, along with 3,999 other employees at Merrill Lynch. She was a vice president making over $200,000. I'm sure they would like to hear the rosy unemployment numbers you speak about.
I am not a liberal or a conservative, I am an American. I will not let anyone put me into a specific camp. I have different views about many things, some are "conservative" and some are "liberal". If you are in just one camp, you are a sheep being led by one of the shepherds.

Timmy
Let me give you an example, the Kentucky derby a horse was euthanized much the same way they have been doing it for 100 years, media got a hold of it and ran the cruel to animals complaints and I'm still hearing about it Libs again. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/05/peta-calling-horse-racing-reforms-after-derby-horse-euthanized-track
here is some food for thought.
A notable story of recent months should have been the evidence pouring in from all sides to cast doubts on the idea that the world is inexorably heating up. The proponents of man-made global warming have become so rattled by how the forecasts of their computer models are being contradicted by the data that some are rushing to modify the thesis.
(NOAA) issued a statement that snow cover in January on the Eurasian land mass had been the most extensive ever recorded
Tracking satellite data for the tropical troposphere, it showed March temperatures plunging to one of their lowest points in 30 years.
ice-cover around the Bering Strait and Alaska that month was at its highest level ever recorded. (At the same time Antarctic sea ice-cover was also at its highest-ever level, 30 per cent above normal).
and....
The Gore Kool-Aid drinkers will point to "all these scientists" but can't give you one link between CO2 and any kind of climate change. As the founder of The Weather Channel, John Coleman, recently put it, global warming is the greatest scam in history.
When Professor Gottlieb is not writing a guilt-trip treatise on the environment, he's writing about Marxism and how the Soviets just didn't quite get it right.
You see, global warming is the perfect template for Marxism because it's the great equalizer. The wealthier a nation, the more CO2 it produces. To atone for its sins, it must pay carbon offsets. In other words, the producing nations pay the non-producing or under-producing nations in cash for the sin of emitting a harmless gas. It's beautiful.
The global warming movement is a way to not just confiscate money and wealth from the producers, but because of their guilt, they gladly hand it over. If Karl Marx were still alive, he'd be beaming with pride.
Some say churchill said this some say he didn't, its still pretty accurate.
“Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart; and any
man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains."

Actually Rick I don't really watch/listen to either one, I speak for me. But that was a funny line..using KY... A great example is the horse that came in second at the Derby like Cyder pointed out. Now P.E.T.A. (which should stand for People Executing Terrorism All the time) is pushing for the rule of horse racing to be changed. You are a bit older than I am Rick so you remember some things I only read about. Here is my impression on the situation. This is one of the last chance for the 60s liberal groups to get their way on things. So whenever "the establishment" does something they don't like they run to the nearest TV camera and get coverage. P.E.T.A. is currently being sued in Virginia to change their status from Non- Profit to a slaughter house. http://www.consumerfreedom.com/news_detail.cfm/headline/3535 So, people like Bill and Rush have what they believe is the job of generating balance. The left pushes on MSNBC/CNN and the right pushes on FOX. Bold headlines make great news....that is why I read and investigate for myself.... One show I do like is Glen Beck....but thats a whole different thread...
Here I hope you enjoy this...

to say the right does not fuel the media is ridiculous. Anybody that has an agenda and some money uses the media, it only makes sense. we are a media driven society.
What we need are more supporters for the legalization of marijuana, they get my vote. why can't we get a stoner with a political show to point out the great uses of this wonderful plant and how users are persecuted and alienated. the native americans smoked a peace pipe before negotiating, why doesn't congress blow a bowl before beginning a session each day? smoke a fatty and you will realize we don't really have any great differences, we're all just trying to make it. of course it will piss PETA off because we will all get the munchies and be eating hamburgers or chicken strips.

I fully support the legilisation movement so long as it's heavily regulated, I've actualy got a propisition written on the subject which covers maintaining clean marijuana, crack downs on related crime, a measure to use it's taxation for mental health & rehabilitation programs, etc etc etc.. It's just a matter of time, prohibition only makes the problems worse and the only effective way to fight a war on drugs is through treatment and education. Besides all the obvious, a person should have the right to decide how they treat their own body.
I should point out though, only a small portion of tribes used marijuana in the peace pipe, most used tobacco. Also, the reason it'll take a sober person to push the issue is because we have to pull in people from the other side of the issue;^]

Most definitely regulated. Tax it, control it, sell it like cigarettes. If someone can pickle their liver with booze or smoke cigarettes till they can't breathe then we should be able to enjoy marijuana as well. I think it could overtake booze as the legal drug of choice. I had to stop smoking because of my job. I miss it, it helped with my A.D.D. and it helps me sleep. Plus my wife gets real snuggly when she smokes. schwing!

Glen Beck???????? No you didn't say Glen Beck. Did he just say Glen Beck? Yep, he just said Glen Beck. No he didn't. Rick, I'm telling you, he just said Glen Beck. Wait, you mean the Glen Beck that thinks he was birthed out of Bill Oreilly's butt? The Glen Beck that thinks the 2 border patrol guards, that shot a drug runner in the back, and lied about it in their report, and were convicted, are political prisoners? Yes Rick, that Glen Beck. Terry, Terry, Terry, you can not mix crack and meth at the same time. Wait, is this an episode of Intervention. Terry, Chuck and I are on a plane right now. We are there for you my brother. Put down that pipe, no you can not have one last hit.

Timmy, even if you regulate and even educate on the subject the problem is that the world is so influence by what the see and hear, hence the media conversation, that we as educators cannot battle morally these outside influences. To mention piece pipes is like apples and oranges. They lived in a different society and different understanding of community. They did not have responsibility of money and providing a roof over thier head, driving a 1.5 ton metel object at 60 mph. They did not have to see a loved one fall by the waste side because he had no more control over the mental faculties and ect... Does this or would this happen to everyone, of course not. Because we live in a society that believes they have a right to do what ever I want regardless of who's involved and who will it affect. This mentality will continue to shread self worth. Something I noticed a while back is the asian population stands firm of culture and that we are all connected. Here they live in a nation of wealth and have a wide choice of purchase but you will almost never see them drive an american car. They will drive Honda's, toyota's, accura's, mercedes... but never a ford, GM, or Chevy. A thought process that believe we can live and support family but never support the job market that gives a population the freedom.

there will always be those that abuse a substance. hasn't stopped the breweries or distilleries.
drunks are a lot bigger problem socially than pot smokers.
I do have a right to do what ever I want as long as my actions don't affect anyone else negatively. Smoking in my home is not going to hurt anyone, just like sitting at home and having a few brews is all good. Everything in moderation.
I bet the bar scene would be a lot nicer as well, I would much rather hang with some stoned folks than some obnoxious drunks. And everything sounds better when your high so you wouldn't get too much flack for your set. :)

Cannabis is never going to become legalized.....there are too many people making way too much tax free money to ever allow it too become legit. So stop hoping, and keep investing in Visine and Twinkies....man its starting to smell like my old art teachers sweater in here.....
Regulation means bigger/more government and higher taxes....we need less government..not more....
