Want to argue about politics? Healthcare reform? Taxes? Governments? You've come to the right place!
Try to keep it civil though. The rules still apply here.

Originally posted by Charles View PostOr perhaps I understand that speaking in such terms as "the media" as if they were all the same is as absurd as talking about "Christians", "liberals", "Democrats" or whatever as if they were all exactly the same. But continue screaming in your broad terms."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostAs Rush Limbaugh once said, arguing with liberals is futile, because it requires you to expend so much time and effort just bringing them up to speed on the basic facts that they become too overwhelmed to grasp the point you're trying to make."Yes.

Originally posted by Charles View PostSo, a personal attack instead of reasons. Another unhelpful attempt that does not even adress the point made.
I have not seen where you agreed that the mass media has acted deceitfully or, at least, with total incompetance in the cases noted. This problem happens over and over again.

Originally posted by JimL View PostNo, the story is not a lie, and the video of the hospital, though not the NY hospital in question, is a picture of what is going on in NY hospitals in general, with converted trucks parked in the back being used as makeshift morgues. They're not only running out of room for patients, they're running out of room for the dead.
Also Changing the subject doesn't make it any less a lie. what you just said about deaths does not detract from the lie of showing footage from an Italian Hospital pretending it was from the NY hospital they were talking about in the story, Your handlers need to give you better talking points JimL. Yes this virus kills people how ever maybe if Nancy Pelosi and the the mayor of new York hadn't said in January go ahead and go out have fun go join the Chinese New year celebrations because it was "racist" to stop all travel from China where the virus started. Things wouldn't be as bad as they are and the time Trump tried to give us by enacting that travel ban would have worked to slow it down even more then we did.

Originally posted by Charles View PostIt clearly was. He did not provide reasons to believe his unsupported claims but tried his way with a statement suggesting I could not even be trained. It is rather funny that so many of you accept that instead of actual arguments while claiming to be on the high horse. The irony is rather obvious.

Originally posted by mikewhitney View PostI don't quite follow what your are saying in the third sentence (...something being funny...). The whole discussion seems to be what Darth is talking about. The lies of media have been presented but fail to influence you -- and you fail to justify/explain the lies.
