i know, lets call them foxmuslims!!!

siriously, having met lots of muslims in my life i cant help but be amazed at this crap

...i just dont know, am i amazed at the nonsense media spits out these days, or the ammount of people that fall for it

its probably prescription drugs thing, i try to understand, i really do.

It's easier to believe in the mass-media message than to think for yourself and us Westerners are getting very intellectually lazy.

This is a big part of why canceled my cable over 6 years ago. I simply couldn't stand the constant bombardment of brainwashing. Yeah, there's a few shows on TV that I like to watch, but thanks to modern technology I can watch them in other ways (sans mindcontrol too!).

Like Karl Marx, people have taken a great idea and HORRIBLY warped it.

Karl Marx had a 'great idea'? What was it?

I was refering to the idea of equality among all classes of people. I dont agree with the means he proposed to accomplish this however.

Communism was what I was refering to when I said, "hooribly warped the idea."

So why didnt you say Martin Luther King Jr. had a good idea?
Are you a closet communist or were there no better examples of 'good ideas'
in your book?
What about Abe Lincoln?

Communism does have some good ideas.
Unfortunatly, they can't work because people are too damned greedy.

People also tend to forget that we have never seen actual Communism enacted as a nations governmental system. Soviet Communism was only the first step towards enacting the system... but it stalled out and was corrupted.

Now people have this irrational fear of Communism.

OMFG.

You sir, have NO right to level that sort a accusation at anyone else.
It's very clear by your posting habbits that you are in lockstep with the agenda.

My News Sources are ultra varried. I buy newspapers. I surf the net. I'm open to all forms of News, research, and information.

Then I think. I logically compair the information I take in and form jugments. When one source consistantly regurgatates irrational fearmongering and mis-information, I write it off as a valid source. When Fox News got off the hook by having a court rule that since they habbitually lie so much, they cannot be expected to report the truth, I am sickend.

When people refuse to understand why Fox is bad, it scares the hell out of me.

We're a doomed species.

There are a billion Muslims spread all over the world in all different types of countries, just like you have a billion Christians spread all over the world in different types of countries. Some muslims live in rich countries, some in poor countries. Some live in democracies, others in theocracies and dictatorships. Some muslims are educated and are among the world's leading intellectuals, others are backwards and ignorant. This is not to say that every single one of the world's billion muslims is a good person, or that many Islamic countries do not have a lot of problems, but we should be careful not to paint all muslims with the same stroke. There are some wacky Christians out there too, and it would not be fair to lump all Christians in with those Christians.

It's not irrational. Just look at Cuba and you'll understand why they hate communism.
