If you like to play games come on over to Evony (has to be this link to be on the same server as me), and join my alliance AFTER (alliance for the evony resistance)… I need officers and stuff too…
Build Cities, attack other cities, and so on… Lots of fun, and easy to get in to. Because of the growth time it is a great game for people with lots of time, and those with not very much time… FREE of course, I don’t like to pay to play.
I want everyone to know that if you hear it on the news doesn’t mean it is true. There are a few things that keep a network in business. How many people watch (thus entertainment value), and advertisements (thus corporate interests.) This system kind of makes for crappy news.
I know intelligent people who watch the news and believe that which as been edited, and shown in a light that isn’t true… I am SHOCKED that more people don’t understand this. I am SHOCKED that people that I respect and care about believe EVERYTHING they hear…
The point? Do your own research on any subject that you find important. The current thing under attack is HEALTH CARE, they are NOT telling you the truth…
If you hear something that sounds to outrageous to be true, it most likely is. If you hear that the government is gonna kill old people, that they are gonna limit pregnancy, or other outrageous stories, fact check. The truth is these people are PAID by the INSURANCE, and other corporate interests to screw you out of what you should get.
HELP stop MASS hysteria from taking away that which makes sense.
EXHIBIT B (We are letting hysteria win.)
NOW, go find your representive and tell them you aren’t STUPID, and you want WHAT is good for US, not what is good for the industry. Tell them WE CAN AND WILL start electing 3rd party people if that is what it takes! We the people, not WE the HEALTH INSURANCE INDUSTRY!!!
I love biased commentary, I find it fun and entertaining. I don’t care for it when it tries to pass itself off as unbiased news. Commentary is biased (here for more info), that is the way it works. We as viewers are likely to see bias where none exists, this is because we have our own bias. So if you watch a show that goes against what you think, you are more likely to say it is biased. For more information on why take a look here.
With that you also have to realize that our news is “paid for” by us watching them, which mean that the more of us like them, the better they are doing. Seeing that we are biased people it stands to reason they would want to maximize their intake of consumers by giving the people what they want (OMG that sounds like the dreaded CAPITIALISM). So if we all fall in love with someone, the commentary better be for that person.
Perhaps I am wrong, it has happened before and it will happen again. sarcasm If you want unbiased news go read China’s news. It might be filtered, but it isn’t biased /sarcasm. If you want as close to unbiased as a humans can get avoid commentary, you want as fun as possible watch commentary…
First link is for information on bias, and the second is about the presidential election. Remember to read the conclusions and the WHY or you are going to take the information wrong. So read it all or don’t read it at all…
