Jul 7, 2008 - I will give you examples as they appear. Do not think less of me. For now I retain my analysis. It is not pro-underdog, it tells a one sided story of the World with less restrictions than the BBC. It is pro-American, given that the anglosaxon influence originates from the UK as well as their cousins in language. It is the pompous mentality which they have in common, the habit of presenting their values in a competitive and to seek to replace other "lesser" ones in abroad. It is not arabic.

Jul 7, 2008 - teem: It may be biased, but you've got to ultimately give some type of example to demonstrate that. The whole idea of the channel, I think, is to reach out to the English-speaking world, and it seems to me, to show the Arab and/or Muslim view, or at least to have that view shown along with other views. In some ways, AJ-E has been instrumental in showing that the points of views of Arab and Israel need to be looked at in balanced ways (as opposed to the usual pro-Israeli view).

Jul 7, 2008 - I don't have to give you anything. People can take my opinions as they are without embarking on your scrutinizing trial and they can reflect them regardless of your pressure.
aburebecca Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - deep crisis society! may Islam enter the picture. peace
nicholas9999 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - teemuru: Your opinions are of course in question unless you can substantiate them. I don't even mean a highly specific example, I merely mean that if you're going to say AJ-E presents a one-sided "anglosaxon" view (by this I assume you mean "Western" cultural worldview), you need some sort of further explanation to justify your viewpoint. I'm actually not scrutinizing you as much as I'm trying to figure out where the hell you're coming from.
teemuruskeepaa Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Yeah, like I said, pompous and competitive. It's all a game for you.
teemuruskeepaa Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - There is no God, just the social ideals, which change naturally all the time.
nicholas9999 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - teem: And again, if you have some basis on which to accuse me of anything except a wish to understand you, then bring it on. It's not competitive, I just don't understand your view, and am asking for clarification.
aburebecca Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - actually you are wrong about that... There is God... find out for yourself you can know...Peace
Romps0008 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Prove it
aburebecca Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - first, we do ask... are you sincere in your question? Do you really want to know?? How sincere are you... and peace.
Romps0008 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Yea...
aburebecca Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - were siding with you now, much more elegant a response, and the value within.. Cheers and peace mate!!
aburebecca Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - True?
Romps0008 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I love Japan but they are backwards when it comes to their legal system. Japan has a 99.7% conviction rate, they can hold you without charges for 30 days. When a cop starts talking to you you get terrified
teemuruskeepaa Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - There is no actual God which has truth value based on observation. Emile Durkheim proved with Australian aboriginals that religion creates sacred totems based on social ideals. The community worships its own culture which it has materialized in totems, and that all social ideals are chosen by the elite. Religion means worshiping what is thought important by the elite. You may believe things that give you peace of mind, but it is better to believe the things which explains things.

Jul 7, 2008 - 23 days to be accurate
andocrates Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - 23 days - I stand corrected. I had to wait 36 hours in some backwards Texas jail so a judge could tell me,"You shouldn't have been arrested" and then released me. That liked to killed me Still I'm operating from memories of how America used to be. Here's an interesting read. Search Google for "Three Days in NYC Jails"

Jul 7, 2008 - lmao this is so funny ...
stinkymouser Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - that must be the most mellow prison in the world
aburebecca Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Durkheim might have proven that true for aboriginal australian. Pure monotheism is another story. Analize what Islam demands of people and see whether its in an Elite's interest. Islam comands consultaiton in government, a legal tax on the rich as the right to the poor, Pure monotheism frees the mind of superstition. Check it out for yourself.. IT EXPLAINS THINGS... try it out and see.. challenge ya!peace
