Time sensitive info is a transient thing. I'll dig through the archives and
post a copy. The rest of the posts are still valid. I say again. I posted
ample research. I countered the sophomoric attempt at argumentation with a
simple documentation of the resources.
If one only looks at the surface of the pond, one will not see the fish
below. If one only looks at one perspective, one will not see the issue at
depth.
If you are here to learn, remember this: You are responsible for your
education. You are responsible for the information you present in the
defense of your argumentation, more specifically, the lack thereof. If you
purport to whine about the impingement of the heavens above on your poor
whiddle head, then you had better bring a big umbrella. Around here, when it
rains, it pours.
Maybe the subsequent replies were a bit esoteric or too broad ranged to be
assimilated by the novitiate, so let me reiterate.
If you claim some conspiracy theory, merely stating an ineffectual
personally subjective assertion is the least effective way of doing so. Go
out into the fray collect your evidence as I did, couch a theme, present the
evidence to support, and be done with it. If you can't do that without
whining put the keyboard away.
by the numbers so that you can keep up....
1. Z cried us censorship.
2. K said "yuh, right"
3. K said it's not censorship, its a lack of good ole ameriKan give a shit
on the part of the media.
4. N said "Here I come to save the day"
Ok mightymouse, go be a knight in shining armor some place else.
If you wanna be a paragon of diacritical excellence, thou hast better learn
the ropes, beforehand.
ASSERTION: [Zphobic] the us is censoring the News Media WRT the "supposed"
buildup of troops in (some unknown place)
REBUTTAL [Me] mmmm......... nah.
[Me 1.1] Here is what is being reported. In some cases it is time
sensitive material so PAY ATTENTION.
[Me 1.2] Be aware of the varying perspectives of the news media's
the world over. In the good ole us of a, the instant bite sound blip media
culture prefers not to have to do any great degree of research. They prefer
their info-tainment to fit in one phrase. sort of like:
"I can't find any mention of this on CNN or npr.org. A friend looked on
MSNBC, Washington Post, and ABC News, and didn't see it. US censorship?
- Zphobic"
completely devoid of any effort shown to present the appearance of having
anything other than a novel interest in whining about a perceived unfairness
that somehow egoistically relates to the person.
I can't find (fill in the blank). My friend (un named) did a (presumably
thorough and exhaustive) search of the sole representation of ALL that is
ameriKan media. There fore if I pose an acerbic no brainer (read 'one
liner') and if it goes unchallenged it must therefore be true.
[Me 1.3] The relationship between the US Gov't and the Forth Estate
is never a friendly one, so, PAY ATTENTION.
[Me 1.4] Novelty and brevity do not a valid argument make. Nor a
newfound command of a increased vocabulary.
[Me 1.5] Show me the research.
[n0rt]"Show me the money"
Show me the ability to create, couch, research and present an original
thought; sans whining, sans poor, poor pitiful me rhetoric. And point of
integrity, if you are going to use a quote, QUOTE IT!
If you want an issue, first take issue with the laziness of the average
human mind.
THE ISSUE was, is and will be, the inability to form a functional argument.
25,000 purported troops (the origin of that assertion is still
indeterminate) is irrelevant. What was relevant in the outset was the lack
of presentation, the lack of preparation, THE LACK OF ANY APPEARANCE OF
BEING SERIOUSLY CONCERNED.
Case in point, your inability to differentiate themes as related to
individual postings.
"British Media timeline" was on one post. Bad form chap.
You have a lot of energy. But very poor form. You have a high affinity for
novelty of issue, a need for high arousal and a need for a sense of
belonging. Anomie is your enemy. Logic is not your friend.
