Narf I wish it could be done, but any one who belongs to that forum would be put on the Governments terrorist watch list and would be prohibitted from flying on airplanes, obtaining government work, and entering the US. No, it is better to just keep it low key. WHAT IN THE HELL AM I SAYING?!!! Have I grown that fearful of my right to free speech that I am afraid to joined a forum dedicated to preserving the truth? What in Gods name has happened here?
Why should I be afraid to say the truth? Why should I be fearful of being branded electronically as a terrorist threat because my own Government has turned toltarian. No offense to Bush, but he is just being advised by some dark people these days.

Re: OT: Eithics and the new NEWS
Hey Atrocities, move to Canada! No terrorists here (after all, who would want to attack Canada?  ) And no fear of terrorism, and Last time I checked, you can still say mostly what you want without being called a "terrorist"

Naw, just make them accountable finacially and criminally for every news story they publish. If the information is inaccurate, opinionated, or false, then they are responsible to make restitution to whomever their news story directly effected.
Look at what Date Line did a few years back over the Chevy trucks. Sure the chevy trucks, one in about thousdand, would explode if hit on the side, but Data Line took it one step futher and reported that ALL Chevy trucks exploded upon impact, and even facked an accident to prove it. They used movie special effects to flip the truck and burst it into flames. They got caught but nothing happend.
Look at that guy Richard Jewels who was made out to be the Olympic Park bomber and how they literally destroyed that man. He had balls though, he stood up to them and sued and WON.
If more and more people could aford to do that, or had laws to support them if they chose to do so, then the News organizations would be less likely to partake in the current tabliod, make the news, opinionated, factless babble that they current are airing to the American Public.
Just tell us the facts, let us make up our own minds.

Re: OT: Eithics and the new NEWS
People being reported about because they enjoy Mangas?(Japanese comics) That is pretty annoying, considering that there is more than one social standard in the world, and many people prefer those alternative standards.
It seems that many parts of American society has become rather low-quality. While there are many good things to America, social standards are quite weak, when it comes down to preventing social stigma.
Also, it seems that is difficult in America to see news from other lands, from their respective views. Also, it seems like that America is weakening over-all, though I may be wrong about that.
In any case, a off-topic questions: Should the United States have annexed Iraq?(to conquer, with the intent of keeping the conquered item.)
