Thank you CNN, FOX, CNBC!!!

Well, well, Sparks - this is the Dog House after all but mind your manners when making snide remarks about established PT'ers. I have to stand proudly in Sara's corner for this bout.

[JenBKR]

Sorry, but I'm with Sparks on this one......

I have NO interest in getting into a fight, just stating my opinion.

Well congratulations. I'm not sure what this has to do with the thread but Sara and I have crossed paths in here before and snide comments are what we do this isn't a "bout" Her being "establish member of PT" does not make her opinion more valid than mine.

I stand proudly behind MY beliefs and my opinion and telling me you are taking someone elses side isn't going to "break me"

Now back on topic shall we

[lbaker]

Lighten up, the reference to a "bout" and standing in someones corner was my feeble attempt to make a joke about the imaginary "ring" being set up in Gini's back yard for the BBQ. You know "in this cawnah... weighing in at....." Well, forget the weigh-in Richard would win that one hands down

LOL I must have missed that part of the thread. LOL but now that I get it... very funny

In that case


LADIES AND GENTLEMAN. LET'S GET READY TO RUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMBLE

You can't have a boxing match without THAT. Hey do you think we could get the real guy?

Lizbud. we are all friends here. Edwina and I have a way with each other. I'm sarcastic, she's sarcastic. it is an unwritten unspoken agreement. Not to mention I gave an opinion in this thread before giving a rebuttal.

Edwina I do not believe in censorship either (in most cases, there are some things no one should be subject to seeing but thats another story) However I don't think that keeping some details to themselves is censorship. We don't need to know the names of the ships that are out there and how many men they have one them and where they are at this moment and where there destination is. All they need to say is, a rescue mission has been organized. or something like that lol. Some details should be kept hush hush.

We don't get coverage on plans the police are making to catch a serial killer. why should this be any different?


EDIT: One more thing to add. My husband made a good point earlier. The internet has changed our lives especially regarding media. NOW, news is old within 36 hours. Before the internet news was news for a long time. There wasn't constant coverage. Perhaps THAT is what makes this seem more extreme. when something happens we find out about it immediately. We don't have to wait. And with that increased amount of news flow of course things are going to look worse.

Now back on topic shall we

Are you the only one who can go "off topic" to deliver personal comments?

Sara is never bitter but is so often right on target with good old common
sense comments on many issues that others make quite complicated with
twisted logic.

I haven't commented on Richard's original comments because they deserve
none. Rixhard can spout off any opinions he holds..

[Pam]

I have had heated discussions with Sara at times too but we somehow manage to remain friends. I figure if Mary Matalin can live with James Carville (GAG!). I can tolerate Sara in small doses. LOL! I do think there is a reason why some things should remain *classified information.* Apparently the press does not. I object to people being put in harm's way because of careless reporting for the sake of ratings.

[Edwina's Secretary]

I can tolerate Sara in small doses. LOL!

So does that mean I can't come and live with you Pam??????

The press has agreed to not publish some information during this Iraq situation and after the bombing in NYC and Washington.

To me the issue is WHO gets to decide what is classified and what is not.

The intention of the constitution is a balance of power....and the press to keep the government in check.

I like that idea.

I don't watch tv news as I think it tries to tell stories in too short of burst....ratings and all that. Not enough in depth.

[RICHARD]

I haven't commented on Richard's original comments because they deserve
none. Rixhard can spout off any opinions he holds..

I'm a little teapot short and stout here is my handle......

Dude, do you want to see me spout?

My only concern is with the safety of the people being evacuated from the area.....

I would not want to be treated like a target in some cheesy shoot em up gallery......

[RICHARD]

Before we go on with the subject...

I have to say that PT is one of the neatest places to post things.

We can all agree to disagree, but we all get a chance to voice our opinions.

===================

One of the most delightful people that I have met on PT is the one with opinions that are directly opposite of mine.

She has invited me into her home and made me feel like I was a welcome guest.

(I know she sprayed Lysol on the seat where I sat, after I left...)

Kidding...

Actions do speak louder than words.....

People who defend freedom are a varied bunch.

Some carry rifles, ride tanks or fly planes.

Some clutch a document 230 years old, to their breast, and use that as their
ideal.

I admire them both.
We can do it both ways because we are in a special place.

I really pray that one day we can resort to hitting people in the head with a rolled up dream, instead of dropping bombs.

I'm a lover, not a fighter......


But I do wrestle!

I would spray the lysol too and I share your opinions hahaha j/k

I think that was a nice thing to say and it is very true. Not many people can sit around and discuss politics and still be friends at the end of the day.

P.S- wrestling can be a form of loving haha
