Andy, when I hate a news company.. let say a german news company.. does that mean that I hate the germans..??

it has nothing to do with that, beleive me.. at least from my part..

in my first post here, I said I never heard from any arab news company that the "tsunami" is caused by US and their nuclear tests or whatever they said.. so, basically they "CNN" made this up.. now, I don't know their purposes or intentions or what they want you, the americans, to think about us, Arabs.. BUT, as I'm living here in a part of the arab world.. I haven't heard anything about these accusations.. which (as a normal reaction of my brain) makes the CNN (as acompany, nothing to do with americans) a liar..

unless, proven otherwise, BBC all the way..

Arabic tv stations says that nuclear testings cause the the earthquake that lead to the tsunami.

how can u say CNN is not a biase tv station...

????..how so?

it is you who compares CNN with regional tv stations.. if you want to compare CNN , then do it with AL Jazeera, BBc , CNBC ...

i am sure there are also lots of regional tv stations in US that airs provocative conpiracy studies..

aressandro10 · Jan 5, 2005

what dubious " plot"?

aressandro10 · Jan 5, 2005

that what i am saying...BBC iIS BETTER ( in my case the best )... i am not saying we see should see it ,or any other tv sation for that matter , as an only source.

Valid point, but.... one thing needs to be considered. Most US news sources are affiliated with larger corporations. It would be more appropriate to say that the independed media needs to be compared with these independant views.

Indeed.

Anyhow, I wouldn't call CNN, NBC (or whomever made these accusation about Arab media taking a stance at accusation,) liars. We still don't know exactly who said what....

I'll look more into it tomorrow...it's pretty late.

this has gone too far already ,, even if some arabic station told this theory ( i didn't hear o r see or even read about it fro any arabic station and i asuure u that i follow these things ) maybe smaller station fabricating to get attention , what really matters that most of arab poeple aren't taking this theory seriousley

Yes, in the Curilles (don't know the spelling in English

)

All I'm saying is that I'm glad that USA won the cold war, we would be in deep shite if Soviets had won...

And come on blackmint, since you started comparing the sixties and stuff, remember what the Soviets did then!?

Holland tried to intervene but the American government back then had already created a firm influence in our country as well through the marshall plan. In an interview with our prime minister of that period after he had resigned, he said that the American president back then (dont remember who it was) had rung up to say that "Your nation may be a former colonian power in the region but you need to stay out now our we'll ruin your economy. All it would take for us would be to relocate our imports and we can do that, don't worry."

The truth is that politics are filthy and power corrupts man very easily. So those at the wheel of the nation's most powerful nation are bound to be corrupted.

But this is never a matter of people. Some of my friends are American and I quite often find myself having the best time of my life in their company.

It's all politics people, lets not forget that.

Slagathor · Jan 5, 2005

Thank you. Next time I want to say something I'll explain it to you first so you can help me out explaining it much better with them one-liners

Zlatan · Jan 5, 2005

No problem, I'll be happy to help

Erkka · Jan 5, 2005

this is off-topic and stupid, but did you guys know that Lincoln was gay?!

Slagathor · Jan 5, 2005

With that beard? How very YMCA :undecide:

KB824 · Jan 5, 2005

I didn't say that this was my interpretation of the general viewpoint of Arabs. I would have felt the same way if it was the European or Asian media who said the same thing, just like my feeelings that the UN rep who said the US was being "stingy" pissed me off to no end.

Idiocy is Idiocy, no matter who says it.

If you took it that way, my bad.

That still doesn't change my opinion that it was a disgraceful thing to say.

Dan · Jan 5, 2005

No, im not full of crap, I just choose to educate myself and pick up a book now and then. You asked for it vinman, im sorry.

Dan · Jan 5, 2005

Vinman asked me to enlighten him about how his country install dictators in countries they help overthrow. Its not too much of a wonder that indonesia have a vendetta against america, except when americans like vinman havent educated themselves and think indonesia is a bunch of rogues who hate the US for no good reason.

Just trying to lighten the mood of this thread

Exactly!!! you cannot throw polititions and normal people in the same bag. It is never a matter of the people, only the government.
