Re: how much admin ass do you have to kiss around here?
Wonderful. Now all you have to do is present evidence that I was off topic.
Oh, I forgot. Evidence isn't your thing. Oh well.

Howling about evidence is a conversation stopper, and it never stops to think if the claim could possibly be true -- foreveryoung

Re: que sera sera
In Message 161 you posted "If the thread is about Obama, or criticizing the left the thread is closed within the 1st 15-30 pages, they don't last that long."?
The system default is 20 messages per page, so at the default 15 pages would be 300 messages and 30 pages would be 600 messages which hardly supports your position it seems.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Re: que sera sera
yeah, so? what is your point?
That you have chosen an singularly unoriginal way to point out that RAZD is being unoriginal.

Rupert Murdoch 'Not A Fit Person' To Run Major Company, Phone Hacking Report Says
A parliamentary committee has judged that Rupert Murdoch is "not a fit person" to run a major international company such as News Corp.
[...] The committee wrote that Murdoch "turned a blind eye and exhibited willful blindness to what was going on in his companies and publications," and concluded that he "is not a fit person to exercise the stewardship of a major international company."
Well I never. Get away.

Re: silly tenacity over rather pointless numbers.
Now we can keep going down this rather silly and ultimately pointless rabbit hole to continue to find ways to say it and add to the total, but the original point was that faux news got 53,200,000 hits.
As Dr. A pointed out, the 53 million number was not based on a literal search for "faux news". How many hits would Artemis phrase generate if we removed the quotes.
But at least I now know where you got your numbers.

Re: Department Of You Don't Say
I'm not sure how 'fair and balanced' the Parliamentary committee was, though. The vote to approve this report was split strictly down party lines - all the Labour and Lib Dem MPs agreed, all the Tory MPs voted no.
A similar pattern is noticed when you look at the investigations into News Corp's attempts to take over BSkyB, and whether it breached competition laws. The minister originally charged with investigating this was Liberal Democrat Business Secretary Vince Cable; but the responsibility was transferred to the Dept. of Culture, Media and Sport after Cable was caught on secret camera saying that he'd 'declared war' on Rupert Murdoch. Now, of course, the Tory Cuture Secretary Jeremy Hunt is being investigated for improper links with News Corp.
Whoever thought it was a good idea to let politicians act like judges?

It certainly amused me. But I was laughing at you, not with you.

I remember reading something about not casting pearls before you, so instead I'll just post the kind of shit you deserve.

It’s all relative; because the thread is about criticizing the right or the republicans then the thread doesn't go into summation mode or close at all.
See:
the awesome republican primary thread (it even has a snarky title). Is on the 57 page at 15/page and 849 posts.
The only threads longer than the anti-right wing thread above is the peanut gallery and the humor threads.
There was an interesting thread titled Obama (OP xongsmith), was going strong, and then abruptly closed by the censors here at page 20. Probably due to anti-left messages.
I am just saying how funny this place is because its basically a bunch of smug elitist leftists pretending to have intellectual honesty and having a fair site and a fair approach, when in reality this is just another extremely biased and slanted website hence my reference the masquerade of any sort of debate.
If you are not an atheist-leftist then prepared to have every forum rule broken against you with no reprieve, and enjoy the madness as these smug leftists pretend to be honest (I enjoy the ridiculous double standards here a lot, it is very funny).
