slothrop Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Washington TimesI, for one, am SHOCKED! 349563[/snapback] You have an anti-bias bias. I don't understand this perversion of the word "bias." OF COURSE THEY ARE BAISED! They are supposed to be biased towards the issues they were formed to advocate for. Guess what? The Heritage Foundation is biased; Sierra Club is biased; Catholisism is biased; George Bush is biased; John Kerry is biased; I am biased; and you are biased. Oh yeah, that rag you quoted your article from, the Washington Times, is biased towards the extreme right wing. Bias in and of itself is not a bad thing - it a good thing in a democracy. Different biases boiling in the labatory of ideas is what democracy is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me this Oh Great One, if AI is so flawed why does the US cite their findings when it suits us, like when we want to ding other countries for their human rights failings? Hmmmmm?

EC-Bills Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Facts are not important when you have an agenda. Just make statements and hope nobody actually checks to see if they are true. 350277[/snapback] Yup. That's what was so frustrating with the last pres election. The BS rhetoric that was being spewed and people were eating it up without bothering to get off their lazy butts to verify. My personal favorite was people I would talk with would say that Kerry voted against this defense bill and then throw out this bill# trying to back up their claim. It was fun asking them if they had actually *looked* at that vote breakdown to see that Republicans also voted against the bill. There were Kerry people who obviously did the same. It's one thing to have a position but at least try to back it up with some facts! I guess that's why H.L. Menkin once said "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blzrul Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Probably for the same reason you cite FoxSnooze when it suits you... 351088[/snapback] I cite Fox News? I guess if referring to Fox News as a big joke, I do cite it. (Which doesn't say much for the people who actually watch it.) But you WON'T see me citing Fox News as crap one minute, and then using it as a reliable source the next. It's just crap, period, always and forever. But it's not quite the same ignoring human rights violations in one place because the source is "absurd" and in others claiming the source is spot on, when it's the same source. Like saying "we would NEVER torture anyone" and then five minutes later saying "well war is hell, get over it." Stupid chickenshits, if they think that torture is the right thing to do they should have the COJONES to stand up for their beliefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like everyone else does. The difference between you and everyone else, though, is that you pretend you're above that. You're not. You're a chickenshit just like the rest of them.
