Why I Think Politics SHOULD Be Considered Here
by minimus ini was looking at valis' thread and i agree that being insulting, provoking or rabid is out of order in any type of discussion.
when people in general, anywhere, talk about religion or politics, it usually sets up sides.
one of the things that jehovah's witnesses were not allowed to do ever, was to get involved in any type of political discussion.

"We will follow them to the US"-is this guy as moron?
by IronGland in"the insurgents' aspirations are growing.
abdullah, a midlevel leader of kata'ib, says he's happy u.s. troops are staying in iraq: it means he can be part of the jihad.
asked what the jihadists will do if u.s. forces finally pull out, one of abdullah's comrades offers this answer: "we will follow them to the u.s." .

Why I May Vote for Kerry
by roybatty ini'm a registered republican but i have to admit that after looking at john kerry's web site, i may have to sway my vote his way.
what caught my eye is kerry's attention toward jobs leaving for overseas countries and how the government can at least stop encouraging (and rewarding)large corporations from doing this.
at bush's site, i don't see anything about this huge problem facing america.

FoxNews Less Bias, According to UCLA/Stanford Study II
by Richie inthis is a continuation of a subject which was introduced by thichi, who showed us a brilliant and in-depth report of how the general media shows a heavy liberal bias.
not just a small report or just one viewpoint, but a concerted and unbiased effort toward devising a method of measuring press bias based on the manner how members of congress cite various think tanks in determining which were viewed as conservative or liberal.
this study is extremely credible and unambiguous, unlike the reactions in the previous post by those who who didn?t read the report and just pushed it aside by saying ?would it be biased for the media to quote one report showing one viewpoint if there are hundreds showing the opposite??
