What's more, it's complete drivel. Life is a challenge and seems impossible ... but it's never easy? This is like saying: "Elephants are gray, but they're never pink".
Surely the use of the word 'can' is relevant?
quote:
A poet once said, 'life can be a challenge, life can seem impossible, but it's never easy when there's so much on the line.
Would it not be like saying: "Elephants can be grey, elephants can be white, but they're never pink"?
If you don't agree, then our pokemons can fight it out to decide who is the victor.

Never mind the media - I posed about a novel by scholars. Who's not reading?
Who isn't reading? You aren't.
You directly quoted the media - so let's ignore the media you posted (as you advise) and we are left with....nothing.
By your own suggestion: you posted nothing.
Which is a little more than you have read.
Or are you claiming that you have read the novel?

93% is larger than 87%, therefore the Saudis are not involved.

I thought as much.
You can't support you own claims (which are clearly pulled from out of your arse) or disprove my claims (which you implied you could).

Those kinds of phrases are great for lying.
You can play on people's fears but cannot be held accountable.
If pushed, you simply reply: "I am only saying what the people are thinking."

Re: Herman Cain
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-15520186
quote:
Mr Cain told Fox News: "I've never sexually harassed anyone."
Seems clear cut. He never sexually harassed anyone.
quote:
"And yes, I was falsely accused while I was at the National Restaurant Association, and I say falsely because it turned out after the investigation to be baseless."
But he doesn't say falsely because it is false? He needed an investigation before he could know if it was false? Well - since the investigation proved him innocent - I expect there were no settlements paid out.
quote:
"If there was a settlement, it was handled by some of the other officers at the restaurant association," he said.
Fair enough - he has no knowledge of any settlement being made.
quote:
Later, he told PBS: "I was aware an agreement was reached. The word 'settlement' versus the word 'agreement' you know, I'm not sure what they called it."
Hmmm....has Bush Jr. blacked up as a way to get around the 22nd Amendment?
Seriously - a CEO who gets confused by the words 'settlement' and 'agreement'?

Altered?
At 3:31 the cheering sounds edited.
The picture looks fine - there is no edit.
But the cheering abruptly stops in an unnatural way.
If you listen to other parts (e.g. 1:29 or 4:06) the cheering peters out in a normal way.
(Granted, this 'normal' cheering still sounds very stage managed.)
Does anyone have an explanation that doesn't involve dishonest collusion by CNN or Fox?

NoNukes writes:
The idea that ideas are banned in university is right wing paranoid fantasy.
Surely some ideas are banned?
For example, if a faculty member was to openly advocate child rape, then he would probably sacked.
The same applies to Holocaust denial, racism, homophobia, etc.
Maybe these are the kind of views that Rick Santorum wants to see more of in universities.
But academics viciously mock people that hold those opinions.

Yes. If you were to claim that paedophilia should be encouraged then people would openly criticise you.

Those ideas have only lost their merit because their proponents were ridiculed, mocked and generally given a hard time. If their time at university can be made more difficult in any imaginable way, it will be done.
Yeah! Those poor paedophiles should be given a break!
