That was good for a smile. Then there was Cher's not understanding why the Pentagon doesn't want wounded soldiers shown on TV and newspapers. I'm not sure the world has enough paper to fully contain a written record of the things Cher doesn't understand.The administration's game plan, enabled by a supplicant media, is showing signs of distress.

Oil an emergency?! It's about time, Brigadier, that the leaders of this planet of yours realised that to remain dependent upon a mineral slime simply doesn't make sense.

Of course there's major question of how much was her claims and how much was claimed by the media, jackals, and the Bush administration on her behalf.Howedar wrote:I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she had an attack of conscience.Sea Skimmer wrote:So with her millions of dollars secured she now attempts to play down the bullshit?

Correct. I'm not entirely sure of the answer, myself.

If Religion and Politics were characters on a soap opera, Religion would be the one that goes insane with jealousy over Politics' intimate relationship with Reality, and secretly murder Politics in the night, skin the corpse, and run around its apartment wearing the skin like a cape shouting "My votes now!

Pretty much my setiments. I feel sorry for the kid. I really do. But I really don't find her critisims of the US filming her rescue very credible when she made cash of a book deal and a movie of her rescue.Sea Skimmer wrote:So with her millions of dollars secured she now attempts to play down the bullshit?

They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Eh? What's her problem with that? If the films were something like small helemt-mounted thingamajigs, or even some small palm-sized camcorder doohickeys, I don't see a problem with that. I mean, Joint Special Operations POW rescue, in the middle of enemy territory? Sounds like a good thing to try and tape if at all possible for training purposes...Knife wrote:Pretty much my setiments. I feel sorry for the kid. I really do.

Now, if they had friggin' TV news crew style filming, that's different.

Her problem with the filming of her rescue probably has to do with that it is something that could hurt her book or movie deal.RogueIce wrote:Eh? What's her problem with that?
