Should world leaders go to war with their troops?

thetekkie @thetekkie (34) 5 Dec 07

Here's a thought. Should we go back to the days when world leaders go to war with their troops instead of going on TV and being cocky "with the bravery of being out of range" (from Roger Waters - Amused To Death) Would we have...

Aspen7698 I don't know if I'm the only one, but I think the fact that we still engage in wars is totally absurd. Through all of humanity's enlightenment, progress, scientific and technological advancement and we STILL resolve conflicts the way that the Neanderthals did....

Opinion Vs. Fact

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 31 Dec 07

Here at Mylot we come to discuss things we like to talk about. The topics run everywhere from the weather to war. Some of us like to discuss politics and religion (despite our grandparents warnings), while others prefer less...

Aspen7698 I think (hence my opinion!) is that this is a relatively recent phenomenon. With a government that openly states it is not part of "the reality based community", it is so very easy to interchange fact and opinion. VP Cheney can say that Saddam Hussein was...

Aspen7698 Ah, it really depends on if you are looking for a satisfactory answer, or a logical answer. A satisfactory answer does not have to be logical and vice versa. A satisfactory answer comes with a predetermined set of expectations. Perhaps , that God will make the...

Talk Radio

adforme @adforme (2114) 30 Dec 07

I am someone that stopped watching television. I am not interested in watching sitcoms, soap operas, game shows, etc. I have been turned on to talk radio and I find it quite daring and provocative. I get the current world and...

Aspen7698 Talk radio has a way of grabbing you and hanging on. I listen to progressive talk radio all day long on my job and when I'm in the car. My favorite show is the Randi Rhodes Show that I stream from Nova M Radio. I know that everything that Randi talks about is...

Cheaper Labor, Yes. But At What Cost?

AD11RGUY @AD11RGUY (1265) • United States 16 Dec 07

Lots of controversy over the work illegal immigrants do. It's been said that they do the work we Americans won't do. I think that's b.s. Americans used to do all these jobs but the greed of the employers displaced these Americans...

Aspen7698 As with all things, greed is at the heart of it. I live in Arizona where people have very strong opinions on illegal immigration. What never ceases to amaze me, however, is how craftily the federal government has deflected the blame away from themselves and on...

Aspen7698 Aaslin, this topic is fine - the more we discuss, the more we understand, the better off we all are. For myself, religion is mythology and I think it does far more damage than good. As a secular humanist, I do not have any entity to forgive me for doing wrong....

Aspen7698 I listen to the radio form the time I get up in the morning until I get home from work. I listen to AM talk radio via streaming at www.novamradio.com. Entertaining, informative and brutally honest.

Is the news trustworthy?

angiemac4444 @angemac23 (2003) • Canada 8 Nov 07

Do you trust the news that you hear on the Radio, TV and in newspapers? It is hard for me to trust what I hear as there seems to be so many dishonest and "secret" things going on lately and there seems to be more and more...

Aspen7698 US news and media is not trustworthy. If you want to know what is really going on, you have to read a variety of international newspaper sites and come to your own conclusions.

World coming to an end???

Angel4you730 @Angel4you730 (114) • United States 8 Nov 07

Do you guys really believe that in 2012 the world is coming to an end like the farmers almanac predicts? Or do you think it's just another scare like everyone thought the world was coming to an end at the millenium in 2000.

Aspen7698 I believe it's actually the ancient Mayan calendar that ends in 2012. And no, I don't think the world is coming to an end.

Celebrities and the news media : a bit too far?

laylomo @laylomo (165) • United States 15 Nov 07

Browsing CNN, I noticed that a large part (way too large for my liking) of "news" is about celebrities. The one that drove me up the wall was "People Magazine names newest 'sexiest man alive'." How is that news? I don't...

Aspen7698 It's just sickening. In my opinion, celebrity trash is not by any stretch of the imagination news. Same thing with sports coverage. It's about controlling the national "conversation". It's about misdirection. It's about influencing public opinion. What it is...

Aspen7698 Save the tanks, cars and invading armies, that's pretty much where I feel we are at today! The erosion of civil rights, the decimation of the constitution, a lawless government, rigged elections, etc... I just don't know what to do.

Aspen7698 I don't know about a conspiracy but Fox is advertising on MSNBC. It seems odd to me because as an MSNBC watcher myself, I would never watch the Fox Opinion Channel. They are completely opposite in content and viewers as well. It does surprise me that Fox would...
