monty16 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Posted June 26, 2014 When I see Russell Brand on the opposite side of mine, I know I'm on the right side of an issue! I look at the issue first and then decide based on that. Do you want to be on the opposite side of this one? Are you on the side of Fox news? Quote

cybercoma Posted June 26, 2014 Report Posted June 26, 2014 When I see Russell Brand on the opposite side of mine, I know I'm on the right side of an issue! When I see you make ad hominem arguments after calling people out for them, I have to laugh. Quote
Shady Posted June 26, 2014 Report Posted June 26, 2014 When I see you make ad hominem arguments after calling people out for them, I have to laugh. Really we're suppose to take this moron claiming that Fox is worse than a terrorist group seriously? Even you can't be serious about this. Anyways, this is all the time I'm spending on this absurdity. Quote

GostHacked Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 Russel Brant is not a citizen of the USA. He is British. Quote
BubberMiley Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 He doesn't sound American. Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet
monty16 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Posted June 27, 2014 You mean like MSNB's hateful bits, including a tweet they had to pull. Yes, very much like the MSNBC comedy routine. Quote
GostHacked Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 He doesn't sound American. That is because he isn't. Even monty16's article proved that in the second paragraph. "The 39-year-old British stand-up comic-turned-actor is now making headlines for the video footage, which was uploaded to his personal YouTube channel on Tuesday this week under the title: Is Fox News More Dangerous than Isis? " Quote
Michael Hardner Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 As an actor and humourist, he makes a compelling case that the world is screwed up. But in the end, we knew that, so this is just more of what he's good at - entertainment. When we have reached the point where arguing about our problems for entertainment is more desirable than fixing them, well... maybe that means our problems aren't as big as we think they are. Or maybe it means we're in denial. What we can't deny is that the lens which with we see the world, collectively, is changing so it's difficult to say what is new information and what is a new perspective. As I have said, we can set up publics to provide feedback to those in power and use facts to direct ourselves in our affairs. Most of what is argued about, in the end, is numbers: taxation, costs, economics in general. That in the end is just a negotiation, a collective haggle. Shouldn't be that hard to work out, but we'd prefer to argue about that then just settle it. Quote Click to learn why Climate Change is caused by HUMANS Michael Hardner

Topaz Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 Perhaps what the was trying to say was the Fox news female journalist said to bomb them, bomb them, that is the terrorists, and by doing so, its as bad as the terrorist themselves because one won't be peace by killing each other. The question remains do the US and the NATO countries really want peace and if so, when...when they have total control over the Middle-East??? The greed for money (oil) and world power is getting out of control. Quote
On Guard for Thee Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 I think it's very handy to have Fox having a go at RT. It's kind of like raising little childre. If you can convince them to keep each other occupied, you have more time for grown up stuff. Quote
scribblet Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 Seems to me that this guy Brand is spewing as much invective or more than the commentator, he’s just as sensationalist. She’s getting the 60% increase from here I guess. http://www.homelandsecuritynewswire.com/dr20140131-report-60-percent-increase-in-terrorism-in-arc-of-instability-across-north-africa-sahel Quote Hey Ho - Ontario Liberals Have to Go - Fight Wynne - save our province
BubberMiley Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 I agree with scriblet. Saying it's bad to call for the indiscriminate bombing of a country is just as bad as calling for it. Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet
bush_cheney2004 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 She can say whatever the hell she pleases...there are no "hate speech" laws in the U.S. to protect terrorists. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
BubberMiley Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 Russell Brand can say what he pleases too. Funny how that works. Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet
bush_cheney2004 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 Russell Brand can say what he pleases too. Funny how that works. Not in Canada.....or the UK....stupid hate speech laws don'tcha know. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
On Guard for Thee Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 Not in Canada.....or the UK....stupid hate speech laws don'tcha know. And what is stupid about those laws again? Quote
guyser Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 And what is stupid about those laws again? The US has them, albeit under more stringent controls. But any speech advocating for harm to another is punishable in the States. Fred Phelps, no. Civil Rights Act 1964 ....yes. Hes just being a ***** in this thread. Aint no surprise now is it? Quote
