Things I hear on the tele
I heard three very funny things on the televesion from a man by the name of Dan Rather a couple of seconds ago and I thought everyone would like to hear them.
1) Dan Rather was talking about how there are so many prisons in Iraq and how many prisons there are. I found it some what humurous because in the US we have over 2,000,000 prisoners, and yet we make it sound like Iraq is such a horrid place because of the number of prisons . . . Ben and Paul I know you are going to say some dumbass thing about how the people are treated so much worse, and so on, which is obvious. My point though is that in a sheer numerical comparison we are probably right up there is not passed Iraq in number of prisons and prisoners percentage wise.
2) Dan Rather said something about how many of the prisoners had been detained for fighting in wars against Iraq and speaking out against Iraq. Firstly, if any American were to join the Iraqi side and fight against the US we would detain them and throw them in the slammer for being a traitor . . . which isn't a bad thing it is just hypocrital that Rather was making a big point out of it.Then next he talked about how they were arrested for speaking out against the government . . . John Walker Lindh was basically black listed and accused of the ultimate treacheroury against the US. This isn't true as we now know that he went to Afganistan to study what a jihad was and to become familiar with Islam. What makes it even worse that is that a women who reported the story was basically black listed by the government and lost her job and was unable to get a new job.
3) Dan Rather said in a perfect world we our coverage of the war would be completely unbiased . . . hmmm, does this seem unsettling to anyone else, I would think that in a perfect world we wouldn't have any need for war, hahaha, I guess I stand corrected. I know what he meant and I am just making a joke, he probably would like peace as well, but who knows, he is making lots o cash of this war!
And last I hope you conservatives are happy because I criticized a less conservative person, but don't come back and say that oh well the conservatives would never say anything like this and that everything that you just mentioned is just a liberal thing . . . the points he made are more heavily argued by the right so don't give me any of that backwards ass bull shit.
