Can you believe this! What is becoming of this country!? This is quite troubling. Where is this country going? I am outraged that something like this can and does happen in our country. Just a few years back you would never think such a thing could happen. Is this a definition of being liberal? This is scary.
What thoughts have you?

SavageStupidity.com - Fairness Doctrine
SavageStupidity.com - Fairness Doctrine
I read this and thought that there are some good points. One question that I do have is, "Why do the left winged talk shows not make it? Why do the left fear current broadcast shows?"
I think the issue is ownership. Since many broadcast companies are owned by the "public" through common stock that these companies will only air shows that make money. We are a capitalistic society. Why do these stations make money on these shows? People listen to them. The ratings for a liberal talk show host seem to always trail a conservative talk show host. Why is that? People do not want to listen to these people. Don't ask me why they don't, just accept that they don't.
Now there is a push to reel in broadcasters and have more government regulation, a theme that liberals are quite familiar with. If people will not conform to our wishes, then we will make laws and make the government force people to our will. Sounds like socialism and fascism to me. I found this article talking about the new push to revive "fairness": Fairness Doctrine Revisited.
So do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing? I'm curious. My feelings are if you do not like what is on the air, turn it off or change the channel. That is called freedom of choice.
Cheers!

Father killed family for being too western | Uk News | News | Telegraph
I ask once again: If you do not want to live the way the locals live in a country that you move to or adopt, then why live there in the first place? I am so sick of people in such denial. If you live in a country you must accept the lifestyle. Share your culture, but don't try to change the local culture. If you do not like it, move to a place that suits your lifestyle.
Is common sense that obtuse?

JetBlue CEO sees costs of delays at $30 million - Feb. 20, 2007
JetBlue CEO sees costs of delays at $30 million - Feb. 20, 2007
Explain to me why an airline would be responsible for WEATHER related delays and cancellations? No one can control the weather, so why would I be compensated for such events?
If an airline is nice, they would honor the ticket for a future flight or at least the return as soon as possible.
Why are people so greedy? This "what's in it for me" attitude is going to kill this country.

Town to Immigrants......
Interesting article in Reuters today (HERE).
This brings up a very interesting question: If an immigrant moves from their country to another country, must the new country recognize the immigrants' culture and incorporate their culture into the new country's, or must the immigrant conform to the laws and culture of the new country?
A second question: Is there a happy median where the two cultures adapt a bit of each, thus enhancing the so-called quality of life?
As for a culture that permits killing others, I would have to say NO, the immigrant must conform to the laws and culture of the new country. As for other cultural differences, there is no reason why the two cannot intermingle. This is where the conflicts occur with fundamentalists. Personally if there is a law prohibiting carrying weapons in place, the immigrant should conform. Ceremonial daggers should be kept in the home not in schools. Also, I find it sad a gym had to install frosted glass because some find the sight of adults exercising offensive. Close your drapes or blinds if you don't want to see this happening!
No wonder people in this world will continuously be at war. We will never learn to live together.
Oh, so sad.
