according to you I DO belong to another world, it's called Earth. on my planet we understand that when the government WE choose to SERVE us is not doing their job, chooses not to be held accountable for their actions, uses the office they were entrusted with to further their personal agenda, and decides which pieces of the constitution apply to them......

Our rights are not to be trifled with.

nope, they are dangerous, which is the irony of the message, they are yelling , chanting, arguing, burning straw people, fighting with police, using up tax dollars, and acting like children and uncivilized unpeaceful children to boot...in fact l apologize to all children because children are much better than the nit-whits that fight for peace.

And the funny thing is they are completely oblivious to the destructive message they are sending...quite the opposite of peace.

You know I often here those in the corporate media labeled peaceful demonstrators as being violent or causing violence, ignoring the fact that more often than not it was the police who became overly aggressive, against demonstrators in the hope that the people will lash back at them, giving them a reason to brutalize the people. I am not saying everyone who demonstrates are always peaceful; there are and will be those who will become violent or have non peaceful agenda. Also, it’s it has happened where the government have infiltrated some organizations that it does not like, and these infiltraters would act out, becoming violent, which would cause the police to start beating people left and right.

Things have really changed...there was a time when those who oppose the oppressive establishment were considered heroes and true patriots….remember the so-called founding fathers of this country? But then again, things have not really changed, but in times of crisis or fabricated crisis the true nature of some will manifest it self. Martin Luther King would be just as hated now as he was back then, when he was marching for equal rights and justice for all people. After all he not only spoke out against racism, but the unjust war that the US was waging, and it’s never ending support and propping up of dictators. America’s moral is like shifting sand blown about by a strong wind; one day a particular ideal is just and good, then anther day the opposite is good. For example, it was fine when Saddam Husain gassed his people way back in the 80s, in fact the CIA use to say, Saddam is a son of a bitch, but he is our son of a bitch. Noriega was a known drug dealer/cartel, at the same time he was on the CIA’s payroll as did Saddam. The United States did not have a problem with anyone of them, until the US had no more use for them. But you are right, those who speak out against evils will be a threat, to those who do wicked things, and will seek to do whatever it can to snuff out any decent.

Ever been to war? Nope? Didn't think so.

It's a double-edged sword -- we need the media, but it's a propaganda machine. How do we even know most of the so-called problems it reports on are real? We gamble that what they're covering is genuine, feeling confident that media competition makes it so. Still, we don't know for sure, and can't. For example, what's happened to the Rita Cosby scandal concerning her allegations about homosexual relations between Larry Burkhead and Howard K. Stern? It completely fell off the radar. Why? The media doesn't want to 'out' its own, that's why. So, in this case, media competition has failed to keep everyone honest.

I agree, we cant all be where the news is happening, when it's happening. We need an organization to keep us informed on current events.

That the news can be used to spresd propaganda is also one of the biggest problem America faces right now, part of the problem stems from the fact that newspapers and especially TV news is ratings driven. For some strange reason bad news and negativity outsell positive, informative and helpful articles, add in the propensity to exaggerate what brings in the profits and everyone who depends on mainstream media has the problem too.

A radical solution might be to stop news media from selling advertising, after all they are supposed to be the news, not entertainment.

But then how could they could exist without becoming a function of government? We're stuck with what we have, I'm afraid. It sucks.

Not acceptable, unless you are A) a sheep, or B) a lapdog. Nothing will ever get better unless people that recognize something is wrong make it happen.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

All that is needed for the forces of evil to triumph is for enough good men to do nothing.

All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

In order for ?evil? to prevail, all that need happen is for ?good? people to do nothing.

All that is needed for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

The surest way for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

All it will take for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing.

All that is necessary for the forces of evil to take root in the world is for enough good men to do nothing.

All that is needed for the forces of evil to succeed is for enough good men to remain silent.

All it takes for Evil to prevail in this world is for enough good men to do nothing.

The sheeple were (still are) scared that muslim extremist were going to be walking the streets of Sometown USA with AK47s raping our women and converting our children. ******* absurd. "Fight them over there so we don't fight them over here", "They hate us for our freedom", two of quite possibly the two most retarded statements ever dumped on the American public by a buy our fear campaign. 99% of the American population will never see a terrorist anywhere other than TeeVee, yet they are scared to death of the prospect of them, it is a case study in herd mentality.

let's just say that we're all good men here, right now I feel like I am doing nothing.
I dont want my kids growing up in a world where they will be afraid to ask questions and demand answers.
I dont want them growing up in a world dominated by fear and its misuse by the ruling class.
I know we need responsible leaders and truthful reporting, I just dont see how this comes to pass.

I dont want MTV to be the president in 2024.....

I can tell you this, what you desire and rightly so will not be accomplished by governments created by human beings.
