You can't qualify your own statement. Ann Coulter is the best you got? Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.
Post #338,570 by lincoln 1/13/11 10:03:06 PM Reply	Re: Excuse me, its your need to qualify your statement For decades, the right wing has said that everything from TV to music to films contributes to the downfall of people and to criminal acts. According to the right wing, even the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction "hurt" and influenced tens of thousands of people and promptly slapped huge fines on the network. Yet, now, they say rhetoric is not to blame. Today, Sarah Palin said: "They begin and end with the criminals who commit them, not collectively with all the citizens of a state, not with those who listen to talk radio, not with maps of swing districts used by both sides of the aisle, not by law abiding citizens who respectfully exercise their rights at campaign rallies.....". So, Janet Jackson inspires moral decay and criminal behaviour, but talk radio rhetoric does not? So which is it Bill - do images and rhetoric affect people ... or not? "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

Post #338,585 by Another Scott 1/14/11 9:16:24 AM Reply	IOW, the thread is finally dead. You're not interested in a real discussion. Thanks for making it clearer. Perhaps these "both sides" threads can be put to bed now? Cheers, Scott.
Post #338,586 by beepster 1/14/11 9:19:18 AM Reply	Who's not interested in real discussion? Linc is in here now throwing anything over the fence to see if it sticks...and STILL trying to say its the rhetoric in the face of mounting evidence that this kid didn't pay any attention to it. So now the direction turns to "its still bad and they do it more often with more popular people". Pu-freakin-leaze. Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.
