  • Reply to: "Friendly Reminder": Fox's Unbalanced Ethics Threaten Democracy   14 years 6 months ago
    Anyone who believes that Geraldo Rivera and Juan Williams present liberal perspectives has a warped view of the political spectrum. They are, at best, moderates. FOX news has periodically been caught giving misleading information, and, sometimes, just plain lies. Remember that Roger Ailes, he of the infamous Willie Horton Ad, helped make FOX a big deal. FOX insisted, more than once, that WMD's had actually been found in Iraq. Here's the big difference between FOX and, say, MSNBC: FOX claims to be doing news. MSNBC claims to be doing commentary. One requires facts, the other consists of opinion. FOX often presents opinions as facts, and many of its viewers go right along with it, because FOX is, generally, confirming their opinions, regardless of how biased, bigoted, or small-minded they may be.
  • Reply to: Insurers Spin Court Decision on Health Insurance Mandate   14 years 6 months ago
    The principal concept of insurance was to pool premiums collectively into a fund from which contributors can withdraw costs in the event of sickness or ill health, which is covered in terms of the policy conditions stipulate. What we now have is insurance that is profit orientated. Gone are the days when insurers were none profit organisations (Mutual Companies)and premiums were adjusted to cover the collective costs of claims and administration etc. Now we are all paying for correct and incorrect claims and the greed of shareholders et al.

    Dear Anonymous:
    That is one of the silliest, most baseless assertions I have heard in a long while.
    Best of luck to you.

    I am a 18 year old teen myself and I have visited the very bias and unrealistic Teenbreak.com site. I was scrolling through the very dicouraging, self-abusive commentary and felt outraged. This is a very unrealistic- fake i would say- representation of teenage life, pregnancy, and above all abortion. Teen sites should encourage pro-choice and all its angles. Not just a bashing view where all of the girls regret and want to kill themselves- what the hell is that?!?!? This site should be banned, deleted, or boycotted and its sad we do not have the technology to track crazy websites like this one and call out these authors. Websites like these are the reasons why teenagers regret, stress, and panic. Half the time, the stories of these girls are refuring to God and other unrealistic factors that contribute to their unhappiness. Someone please stop this madness!
