    You made a "yes but" post here, Andy. Yes it's bs that this catastrophe was man made and intentional. But you shouldn't necessarily credit CNN for that either. I'll say right off the bat, I don't have CNN so I don't watch it. I did watch it a couple years ago when I did have it so I'm no top authority here. But in saying that CNN doesn't make up stuff, do you really know or is that an assumption? I think media bias is a very delicate matter and I tend to stay skeptical myself.

    Jog on Martin, I have never heard CNN blame the Arab world for the numerous Hurricanes we experianced this summer. Oh yeah I can see it Now:

    "And this is CNN breaking News. A study involving 5 average citizens was conducted and they have concluded that countiries such as Indonesia, Taihland, and Sri Lanka caused the earth to swift it's axis, which has caused devestating hurricanes to hit Florida. One member of the panel stated "Yeah, it were da Arabs. They shot offa few nukes to swift, you know, the axis."

    I love it whenever I make a post about critising terrorists or Arab news outlets, the topic is always shifted to blaming everything that is US. Maybe I am the only one to see it, but I certainly do..

    Ok, I thought we were going to have an actual discussion about this. Pardon me.

    Of course we are going to have an actual discussion about this, that is why I started this thread.

    Like I stated with my highly sarcastic post (a technique which you are very pleased with in the case of iBianconeri but condemn here) CNN does not make such outlandish stories. Maybe some people beg to differ? Oh well. I can tell reality from fake, and CNN is doing a lot better if you ask me in the former.

    Tell me you're being sarcastic again because you don't honestly believe I'm pleased with iBianconeri for calling Vinny ignorant, do you? It didn't "have to be said", it was unnecessary and destructive.

    Okay Martin, sorry for the sarcasm. I love that "tool" because somehow it makes people annoyed and stimulates the cells in the brain. I promise I will act more civilized from now on. I did not people were opposed to sarcastic posts.

    Do you have any other arguements to add to your original arguement? I might not even know what the original was...

    No, I just remembered how engulfing this is and I shouldn't really be doing it, I need to get some work done over here. And in anycase my argument wasn't that strong, besides it seems like aressandro has picked up the plot anyway.

    See what I mean, everytime I make a thread about this subject, this is what happens. The discussion always makes a U-TURN and falls on the shoulders of us, the United States. Happens every time. I hope none of you really believe these accusations..
