Thats a scandel a BIG mother of a scandal!!!!!

Its a case of screw you if poor.

Yes, according to the unbiased BRITISH documentary tonight, the widows of the victims of 9/11 were paid compensation in direct relation to their loved one's earnings. Thus the lives of cleaners say who were killed, were deemed less financally worthy than some of the big wigs higher up the corporate ladder.

its a bit like that other link someone posted a few weeks back where it showed alleged propaganda or anti-sementic views etc but it was just a biased rather than a neutral view point.

and this is the same too - just going to the front page - every article in there is almost claiming to soem form of anti-sementism

but as a awesome lil auto-advertising...

property in makkah
halal morgages
single muslims

*LOL*

A few of Barbs posts have been about alledged anti-Semitism.

Strange that, or is that an anti-Semitic statement?

You can even buy American Thinker clothing, all white of course.

I think the pointy hoods must be on a different page though.

Well said! I'd have to wonder about a website that awards itself the rather grandiose title "American Thinker." If they feel the need at the outset to congratulate themselves on their intellect, could that be because they don't really to earn such plaudits from the rest of the world?

Hope things are going well in Ossy, Garinda! Will be back to visit the neighborhood with Pendy and David later in the year! Probably will be a bit too nippy to sit outside drinking and singing, though.

The Daily Telegraph recently published this story.....
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...1/nhijab21.xml
Govt. Minister (Ruth Kelly) says she thinks more women appearing in the media (I presume she means Television) should be seen wearing the Hijab (islamic head covering for women)
my question is .....how do users of this group feel about this ?
would you watch the evening news if the female newsreader was wearing a Hijab ? or would you automatically think the news had a biased slant

maybe one of the Moderators could set up a poll , thanks

i think every news media has its own agenda and slant. they realise how powerful the media is these days

so from the likes of fox/cnn/sky news which is widely brushed off as biased to the beeb which has its own lil tricks to having gun men in the studio as the newscasters praise the new military govt as in thailand

gettin unbiased reporting is impossible i think.

one news station which seems fairly neutral is DW tv (english language) out of Germany, here in the States its available through some PBS tv stations .I think in Europe its available on satellite
