I was talking about honesty.

Support for almost any war (in the larger sense of the word) is generally weak. IMO there's nothing wrong with trying to preserve some of the support by not showing 100% of what goes on. If you're saying you want 100% honesty and fair reporting, you're nuts.

Examples of things they shouldn't show?

[89Hen]

OK, we've figured out you're nuts. Or in your case, nut.

Expecting honest and fair reporting may not be realistic, but finding "nothing wrong" with dishonest and unfair reporting in order to maintain support isn't nuts..its bat shit crazy.

Fair to whom? The public? You liberals are so cute in your cocoons on your high horses.

Graphic collateral damage. War is hell, very few people have the stomach for it. It's a necessary evil in the world.

Ah, the necessary evil argument...
coming from 89Hen



I'm not saying it isn't true but from a hard line Catholic Anti-Marijuana Anti-Abortion dingbat like you
it takes on a far more humorous tone



Some evils are just necessary (says 89hen)
This is too good

Go on...
Tell me about the necessary evils and the ones we need to stomp out

[Grizalltheway]

Funny how every time someone points out 89's hypocrisy, it's simply a whiff, with no further explanation needed.

[Chizzang]

If 89hen had even a milligram of consistency applied across any of his arguments
if he even made a halfhearted attempt at reducing the hypocrisy in his politics

He'd see the hilarity of "hiding the bombed dead civilian babies"
While simultaneously illuminating the billboards with fetuses on them

Because being DISHONEST in one case is necessary

I am neither a hard line Catholic nor anti-pot, so Chizz was 1 for 3.

That's just more propaganda.

There is absolutely no evidence to support your claim...
in fact all evidence supports my claim

So you should have no problem coming up with evidence... prove it tough guy.

You're not anti-pot?

What exactly is your position on it again? Because, forgive us all... but, I think that's what we've taken from your posts.

well, there seems to be a consensus among liberals that aborted 24 week old fetuses in dumpsters should not be shown

or even the procedures

but we all need to see Arab children with their bowels hanging out because ...truth

amirite?


(hey clitz is the kind of hypocrisy you were talking about?)

First, pot has zippy to do with this, Chizz decided for some reason to throw that in there, but if you must ask... seriously? We've had several threads on pot and I was pretty damn clear. Legalizing pot is wayyyyy down on my list of important things and my real argument is that there are plenty of folks here that believe pot is harmless (some have even gone even further) and that there are no problems associated with legalizing it. I see plenty of problems.

But let's try to stay focused here... I know it's hard when you're stoned.

Absolutely..!!!

If we're all for Baby Billboards and the associated evils
We shouldn't blanch when it is suggested that we show the evils of war

what's the difference..?
Showing dead civilians that are not related to U.S. activity
and showing 28 week fetuses and calling them 20 week fetuses is equally as deceptive

[89Hen]

what's the difference..?

IMO there is a big difference.

defined moral hierarchy is evidence of self righteousness...



and it is supported in the Old Testament
which is why the Ye Olde Testament is largely dismissed today
Its a sign of willful ignorance

which one is worse

The Alabama trailer park king with a 6th grade education who doesn't want to see baby guts because it ain't fittin for womenfolk to see

or

the hyperliberal prestigious college grad and lawyer who is an activist on several fronts (including the science of AGW and a woman's right to choose) who is practically Opus Dei and attends mass regularly?

I find them equally nauseating but somehow I think Ms Vox/Salon/Atlantic should know better (she's real- I know her... one day I will take a steamy dump all over her facebook posts)
