And yet, you can make a statement that Al Jazeera is not biased. It is made by Muslims for the consumption of other Muslims. An aspect of Islam is that the religion is not separated from any aspect of their lifestyle. This has to include their news broadcasts. It cannot report facts without a heavy rinse in the religion dogma. The relgion and politics are the same thing. > > >> That's why science uses the scientific >> method to produce its knowledge. > >So how do find out what's really going on in the world ? Mostly by listening to gossip and thinking about what I've heard. How do you find out? Do you believe everything Al Jazeera broadcasts? What are you going to believe when they start targeting you and yours as the enemy? They broadcast speeches from Al Queda. I wrote once that they didn't lie. Yet you mocked me for thinking that Al Queda was determined to kill me and people like me. Now, which do you believe? /BAH /BAH

I am sure there are some problems mentioned in this thread which you dont attribute the UK's rampaging socialist government but I think I missed them. I had thought that the context of this message, and it being posted to USENET, would have explained the domain of applicability for the wording I used. Sorry that was not the case. I will try to be clearer in future. >> >>In the UK, certainly when I was young, everyone was aware of politics so I >>am not sure what you are trying to say here (if anything, you might just >>be >>collecting words together). > > Your parents were not in danger of disappearing because > you said the wrong thing. Neither were yours. >> >>> My folks do have a memory >>> but they didn't have to fear their own government as much >>> as other countries because we had the Constitution to provide >>> the checks and balances. >> >>When did they have to over throw forced socialism, with the aid of the US >>Constitution? Interesting. > > WWII. Wow. I never realised the US was in the thrall of a socialist government. You may not be aware, but WWII included the UK as well - my parents certainly have a memory of that, my father serving and losing two of his brothers in the process. My mother certainly has a memory as my family come from a port, as a result of WWII there is very little architecture pre 1945. Now, given that you were talking about Modern Poland, I am not sure what relevance the experience of the UK or US during WWII is to the Poland as part of the USSR. >> >>> If we in the US aren't careful, that will end. >> >>You are throwing it away because of an imaginary fear. >> >>> What will be interesting is how Poland's basic rules >>> of society evolve over the decades. Other countries >>> will also be interesting to watch. >> >>Well, what will really be interesting is what _you_ learn from things. > > Since you dismiss everything I've learned, you will have a very > dull life. But I don't automatically assume I will dismiss everything you learn in the future. Also, you mistake my comments. I dismiss what you claim to have learned from (for example) your biased books, I still find it interesting to see the tangents and dead ends your thinking heads down.
