The problem is there are no liberal news channels
the same argument is trotted out by Fox's defenders but all their examples of "liberal" channels - MSNBC, CNN - are actually centre-right. I can't help wondering if that might be because THEY'RE ALL OWNED BY GIGANTIC MULTI-NATIONAL CORPORATIONS.

I don't know about you, but I tend to find
that gigantic multi-national corporations don't tend to hold to a socialist/liberal left policy. In fact, I tend to find they're rather protectionist.

I disagree.
I refuse to concede that the US and Aussie political spectrum is at all shifted to the right of the European spectrum.
They support the Dems, they're centre left.

You're an idiot

I mean such a massive idiot I don't know where to start.
Just look at policy implementations of the last 5 years.

Or just read anyone's analysis of the political spectrum.

How long will it take before you start
to believe that, when everybody else you talk to is telling you you're wrong, you may not be right. Can we skip to the end, please?

There are very few teenagers who are not ignorant and cocksure

there are two explanations here though
either he knows fuck all about this stuff and has reached a lot of daft conclusions, or he has done a load of research, reached a lot of daft conclusions and while doing so has wasted a lot of time when he could be enjoying himself as much as possible while he is young.

Either way: verdict is 'fucking stupid'

I'm with Kroney on this one
When I was his age I was exactly as you say, as long as I was discussing football or music or even politics with my mates. I'd make damn sure I knew my stuff before starting such a discussion with an adult because they tend to be more worldly-wise, on account fo having lived in it.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 11:17, Reply)

When I was his age
I was too busy playing Ultima Online, listening to Marilyn Manson and NIN, and being the token goth kid who got friendzoned all the damn time.

In a way
It was one of the first major MMORPGs.

Ultima Online, or Friendzone?

Ok, that one fell totally flat.

Me too
If you trade Ultima Online for Final Fantasy VII. The online thing didn't ramp up in time for me to take advantage of my parents' internet connection.

I played that too, and FFVIII

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 11:28, Reply)

FFVIII is my all time favourite FF game.

( Kroney, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 11:30, Reply)

Me too
FFXII is also very good, but FFXIII is one of the worst 'games' I've ever played.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 11:31, Reply)

I preferred VII myself
Not that VIII isn't awesome, but I couldn't bring myself to care as much about the characters. And obviously I was comparing it to the awesomeness of VII throughout.

So there being a Democratic President means the entire country leans left of centre
You absolute simpleton. You're forcing me to agree with Chompy, here. Please Leave The Internet and don't put me in this position again.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 11:01, Reply)

he'll be thinking that the President is actually in charge next.
That they'd let a moron like Dubyah have his finger on the big red button.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 11:03, Reply)

Good point
Also, how bad did things have to get before they'd elect a Democrat? Four years of a complete fucktard wasn't enough, they gave him EIGHT before going "left of centre"
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 11:07, Reply)

bollocks are they
The Democrats are, as far as I can see about as far left as our Tory party, maybe less so, they just look vaguely left wing compared to the rabid neo-con hate machine that is the Republican party
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Tue 19 Jul 2011, 11:03, Reply)

Bang on, sir
The Republicans are so far to the right that they think racism is acceptable and a candidate who preaches Creationism is anything other than a fucking moron.
