Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

...of some major news media (and I do mean "quick", I didn't spend more than ten minutes on this, I set my alarm) tells us just how "little" the media covers terrorism on a daily basis. In the midst of a big political fight, with Chilean miners being rescued (which has the attention of the world), they still somehow managed to kick out:

That was just a quick search of CNN, MSNBC, CBS and ABC alone...there may be some duplication, but I tried to ignore every story that was obviously a duplicate on another site as best I could.

So Raptor's right. The media is TOTALLY ignoring terrorism, and we're not hearing nearly enough about it. Not nearly enough! We "libs" need to stand up and demand more news, bring it to everyone's attention!

Just sayin'.

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

How DARE they downplay the threat, especially since there hasn't been any kind of significant terrorist threat in this country in nearly a decade!

The modern definition of "socialist" is anyone who's winning an argument against a tea-bagger.

I hate Obama's America. You're damn right about that.

Mr. President, you're a god damn, mother fucking liar.
Fuck you, you cock sucking community activist piece of shit.
... go fuck yourself, Mr. President.

America loves a winner!

All that, just for the 'religion of peace', huh?

"Religion of Peace????"
No sucha thing. Religions = intolerance & hatred & death & destruction & hatred & crap.
Except maybe Buddhism...

Chris: Yup.

Ain't we smart?

Raptor...nothing to say about the fact that terrorism is slathered all over the news, when you claimed they were downplaying it, eh? Too bad. Point made.

Not just terrorism, Niki. Islamo terrorism.

All. And none.

Heh heh, I've actually studied most styles formerly, but my final choice is mainly Wing Chun. A kind of mainland version of it, anyway.

This is my best Wing Chun book:

You'll see from the reviews that others believe this too.

Huh, haven't heard of it. Will do research! Gotta get some work done though. :)

I love martial arts. There's something kinda... pretty about it, especially in how there's all this history and philosophy wrapped up in it, plus the temples, it's hard to separate it all.
