i know right now you are sitting behind a computer, so you would be considered (at least by me and millions of others world over) to be... well... lucky.

here is where you react with your personal problems which are rather petty (sorry not trying to be rude here) life situations that amount to a hill of beans, barring extreme life circumstances, compared to say, that one guy who wears rags and talks to himself on the corner of main and broadway.

huh?

An article worth reading

in his latest traveling show, comedy superstar jerry seinfeld makes an apt and very funny point: why do cable tv news shows continually scroll the latest information across the bottom of the screens?

as seinfeld points out, this is television.

"if we wanted to read, we'd look at a newspaper," he says.

In his latest traveling show, comedy superstar Jerry Seinfeld makes an apt and very funny point: Why do cable TV news shows continually scroll the latest information across the bottom of the screens? As Seinfeld points out, this is television. "If we wanted to read, we'd look at a newspaper," he says.
As usual, this humorist for our generation has put his finger on the essence of America and the new information age. News today is one wild and spinning circus. The secret to the survival of newspapers will come when their leadership and writers recognize the public really doesn't live or die based on our every written word!

A simple friend identifies himself when he calls.
A real friend doesn't have to.

A simple friend opens a conversation with a full news bulletin on his life.
A real friend says, "What's new with you?"

A simple friend thinks the problems you whine about are recent.
A real friend says, "You've been whining about the same thing for 14 years.
Get off your duff and do something about it."

A simple friend has never seen you cry.
A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears.

A simple friend doesn't know your parents' first names.
A real friend has their phone numbers in his address book.

A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party.
A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.

A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed.
A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.

A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems.
A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.

A simple friend wonders about your romantic history.
A real friend could blackmail you with it.

A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest.
Real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself/herself.

A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument.
A real friend knows that it's not a friendship until after you've had a fight.

A simple friend expects you to always be there for them.
A real friend expects to always be there for you!

How about some more uplifting stories. Personal, cliche's stories, jokes, just something nice.

Poll suggests world hostile to US

Both of these sources are in previous posts I made.

http://times.discovery.com/convergence/rootsof911/rootsof911.html

New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, a three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, spent several months traveling through the Muslim world last year, interviewing leaders and people of the street as he tried to uncover some of the causes of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. The resulting portrait of Muslim rage and distrust towards America is Thomas L. Friedman Reporting: Searching for the Roots of 9/11

My suggesting this as a non-bias documentary is this the proof of my ignorant pro Fox stance Simon? My inability to handle a critic of America? It goes in line with your poll thread as well as every other thread on this topic you start. But you dismiss it and me and end with an emotional insult.

"World on Fire" Amy Chua

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/results.asp?WRD=amy+chua&userid=4784HVUMWY

She is a Yale Professor.

From the Publisher
Every few years, a book is published about America's role in the world and the changing contest of global affairs that gets everyone thinking in a new way. Amy Chua's WORLD ON FIRE will have exactly that kind of impact on the debate of how the world has changed in light of the events of last September.
Apostles of globalization, such as Thomas Friedman, believe that exporting free markets and democracy to other countries will increase peace and prosperity throughout the developing world; Amy Chua is the anti-Thomas Friedman. Her book wil be a dash of cold water in the face of globalists, techno-utopians, and liberal triumphalists as she shows that just the opposite has happened: When global markets open, ethnic conflict worsens and politics turns ugly and violent.
Drawing on examples from around the world--from Africa and Asia to Russia and Latin America--Chua examines how free markets do not spread wealth evenly throughout the whole of these societies. Instead they produce a new class of extremely wealthy plutocrats--individuals as rich as nations. Almost always members of a minority group--Chinese in the Philippines, Croatians in the former Yugoslavia, whites in Latin America, Indians in East Africa, Jews in post-communist Russia--these "market-dominant minorities" have become targets of violent hatred. Adding democracy to this volatile mix unleashes supressed ethnic hatreds and brings to power ethnonationalist governments that pursue aggressive policies of confiscation and revenge. Chua further shows how individual countries are often viewed as dominant minorities, explaining the phenomena of ethnic resentment in the Arab-Israeli conflict and the rising tideof anti-American sentiment around the world. This more than anything accounts for the visceral hatred of Americans that has been expressed in recent acts of terrorism.
Bold and original, WORLD ON FIRE is a perceptive examination of the far-reaching effects of exporting capitalism with democracy and its potentially catastrophic results.

I would love to hear how you box this in your Jayson is a puss who can't handle America being critizied. See Simon I can be of critical thinking and give real sources outside the BBC. Who is the source of your bias poll FYI. And that is just one more reason that I say you are not looking at all the facts. And to feed the hate bush feelings you have one just don't have to look beyond the BBC.

As for "awards" who is the BBC's competitors? Who funds them? Simon, saying that you are against all governments may excite the libertarians but for those of us outside of cults we don't by it. Saying that all parties must be met from the view of a skeptic is OK only if you are willing to cast judgment. That the poll you bring forth claims those polled see America and terrorists as equals and that you defend it mind you speaks for itself as to the ability to be a skeptic. As your dismissing the above sources of information, that shows something about you as well. You start the threads and then you can't hack it. If you don't want people to learn anything and your goal is to make people feel pissed off and pissed on, good job, your a god.

For those who really want to have some understanding, Americans for sure, look at the links and take the time to read up on what I have brought here. It's worth your time.

"jayson / thichi

I do not bother trying to answer you generally as you have show that you do not read or discuss thing but just paste articles that you've come across. Yuo are always quick to do what you have done now - declare victory for yourself with little regard to what really transpires. I don't really value your opinions to be honest as I find you to be closed minded and short sighted."

You don't answer Simon because you can't do so without deflating that ballon of hot air you type from. You never had issue when Mark posted your kind of hate mail. I can see by all the comments that everyone is so excited that you start threads like this. And like your blind bias and hate of GW that you can't control it is you who is showing little regard for the others here.

WH- Nope Simon won't start a new anti war/bush/americka/jay thread until this onw hits 500.

Simon I said you have a right to your opinion in this thread. You have never refuted anything that I have put up and only thrown back emotionism. Even when I start to walk away I get the perverbial push. You and your kind sure as hell cry the victim and if you deny that then you are more patholigical in your Bush obession than I thought. Did you ever consider that maybe just maybe your TV program the BBC which has been proven to be putting out false reporting about Iraq is so flooding the media airwaves of Europe with anti Bush retoric to take the pressure off of EU woes? To take the pressure off of your own leaders and the disaster in the relm of economy and foriegn policy that they have made of things. Like I have been saying you have nothing to add about cleaning up the mess in your Nation mush less the world but you have threads reaching the thousand mark about the problems of mine. Which only add up to one theme you keep putting out "I hate Bush." In my book that equals a fanatic. Did you ever consider that my postion is that I support the ideals of freeing Iraq from Saddam. Not because Bush can look real cool leaning on the podium. It's just that I think that Iraq deserves to be rebuilt and if we waited for Europe to get around to it it would be like the last 100 years. If Bush was willing to get the job done then I'm good to go. It's the act of action and not just the man that I support.

I claim you are twisting things because most of us are ready to drop this issue but Simon won't and then he claims he is a victim. You claim he is a victim. It's pathetic.

An,

FYI I don't think that Simon is unamerican or antiamerica so much as just closed minded and bigoted on this issue. Englishman more than him by far but Simon keeps opening the door. The show like the BBC is just propaganda. Simon hates Bush and likes to use his web site as a means to vent his propaganda filled head. And for now he has an audience. We love and respect him. It is to bad that his hate for American political affairs is more important to him than us.

The only way to deal with a whiney left thinker (most of whom have been passive for quite a while) is to not give them anyone to listen to. Soon that will be where we are. But for now Simon can enjoy the flaming wars he has a passion for.

Realist from 170,000 down to 10,000 see the progress we are making. Now remember hun we are still on the museum we need to work through this to help you come back to reality. I can't do it for you but I also know that you can't do it alone. I'm here for you.

http://www.techcentralstation.com/1051/defensewrapper.jsp?PID=1051-350&CID=1051-060503B

here are some clips

Suppose, for the sake of argument, that this is true - that the Bush administration told a big whopping lie about its motive(s). Does this show that the war was unjustified? Not at all. First, motives are not reasons. A badly motivated person can do the right thing (by accident, as it were), just as a well-motivated person can do the wrong thing. That this is so is reflected in a number of common sayings, such as "It's the thought that counts," "The road to hell is paved with good intentions," and "You did the right thing for the wrong reason." The first two suggest that the act is wrong but well-meaning, the third that the act is right in spite of its poor or improper motivation.

Third, suppose President Bush in fact had no reputable motive in going to war. Suppose he had only disreputable motives, such as defending his daddy's honor. Does this show that the war is unjustified, morally speaking? Again, the answer is no. Justification is objective; motivation is subjective. The war can be justified as an act of self-defense or liberation of a people (to name just two of many justifications) even if the person waging the war doesn't understand it in those terms - even if he or she doesn't view those as justifications. For consider: Either there is a justification for the war (objectively speaking) or there is not. If there is, then it doesn't matter what motivated President Bush. If there isn't, then it doesn't matter what motivated President Bush. Either way, it doesn't matter what motivated President Bush.

As far as the justification of war in Iraq is concerned, President Bush's motives are irrelevant. Why, then, has the public debate focused so sharply, to the point of harping, on his motives? Why the constant refrain to the effect that the war is "about oil" or a way to "finish what his father started" or an attempt to "distract attention from the economy"? I have racked my brain for an answer to this question. I believe it is one part hatred of the president and all that he stands for, and one part confusion. The philosopher, qua philosopher, can deal with the latter. Perhaps a psychotherapist will have to be called in to deal with the former.

Keith Burgess-Jackson, J.D., Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Philosophy, Department of Philosophy and Humanities, The University of Texas at Arlington.

Did you read that Bush haters? Psychotherapy is available to help you with your illness. This will clear the way to help you with your confusion.

I would like to add on the above link there is an opinion poll which shows that a massive 87% of respondences state that the US had justification to invade Iraq. Now this should close this matter with Simon for all time the poll states that the US was justified. Case closed.

Realist, Did you know that the Iraqi museum was not looted? I really want to help you feel better.

An- You are good at twisting word. See again someone even avoiding a serial thread theme is now evidence used to call anti war people victims. Truly pathetic.

If this is not a war thread then why do you keep hounding? it [the war theme] Unless the thread always carried that theme over from Simons last threads.

Simon is a pathological poster of US mudslinging. But that is not against the rules as long as he is doing it. It is becoming a favorite euro pastime.

bigotry is bliss.

SP I don't think that you go far enough. The demand is that the US has something to appologize to Europe about. It ain't gona happen. They are part of the problem not the solution. Bush may not be the solution but removing Saddam and lifting santions rebuiling that country and letting it rejoin the world as a free nation no doubt is definatly the solution for that Nation. It is also a beaken and warning for others.
