The shameless inciting and biases propagated by the media over the Trayvon Martin incident is being picked up accepted as truth by the international media,witch can be just as dis-honest as the likes of msnbc and fox news.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-75754347952489345642012-04-02T13:36:20.712+09:002012-04-02T13:36:20.712+09:00Now that I think about it, the photo of the kid fl...Now that I think about it, the photo of the kid flipping the bird might've been kind of cool.<br /><br />Also, they're *still* showing the edited and spliced audio:<br /><br />Sunday, April 1, 2012<br />Now, NBC Caught Creating Distorted Zimmerman Clip <br /><br />"Looks like MSM wants to start a race war."<br /><br />http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2012/04/now-nbc-caught-creating-distorted.html <br /><br />- clarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-27799725811216053652012-04-01T23:36:00.490+09:002012-04-01T23:36:00.490+09:00Hello Mike,

When one sees the fact that there has been ethnic, religious, or cultural, hatred from almost every ethnic or cultural group at some point in time, running all the way up to the Holocaust, does not bode well for the world IMHO. The situation seems to show what a thin veneer civilisation actually is, does it not?<br /><br />How many riots, or outright ethnic pogroms, have happened in the US in the last 200+ years due to either real, or imagined injustices? If it seems so easy in the US to metaphorically fan the flames of hatred and violence in the US, how much further will people have to be pushed until one is literally fanning the flames of of violence in the form of another burning city? <br /><br />It seems troubling in the US, and the world for that matter, that so many actions are judged not by the action itself, but by the cultural or ethnic makeup of the perpetrator and victim. This article is IMHO one of the more interesting, and yet troubling articles, since it brings up a number of issues in the US that I don't have an answer to, and it appears no one in power does either.<br /><br />-All the bestMr. Nobodynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-2688197929868100662012-04-01T16:22:56.464+09:002012-04-01T16:22:56.464+09:00Who checked the 'cool' box?

There's nothing cool about this, imho.<br /><br />Anonymous wrote, "Wait until the going gets rough - the Japanese will take it out of the foreigners."<br /><br />I keep coming across this type of thinking online as well, applied to any country that is not the unitedstate.<br /><br />I am very skeptical of such happening. It's as if People in other countries are perceived by Americans as rabid dogs chomping at the bit just waiting for a reason to kill every foreigner in sight. - Hack hack hack with a machete? -(Yeesh, that describes a lot of Americans, eh?)<br />I think the prevalence of this type of 'scenario' is just part of a bigger ploy to try and keep Americans from leaving the country.<br /><br />The other day I was talking to an older Person who watches TV a lot (quite representative of the average older American) and I mentioned the option of moving to places such as Chile, Mexico or Guam as a retirement location.<br /> <br />Know what the response was to that? You'll never guess. ...<br /><br />This Person didn't want to move to where 'they' cut off the hands of People caught stealing.<br /><br />I was thrown for a loop, wow.<br />I thought, how did this come from Chile, Mexico or Guam?<br /><br />This Person went on to say they wanted to stay in the unitedstate where they *knew* what the laws were and the jails were nicer. I was then informed how terrible the jails were in other countries.<br /><br />I said, "The Law is dead".<br />Whoosh, it went right over their head. I tried to explain a bit but I could tell I was wasting my breath.<br /><br />I think I'm going to have to download that song, I'd Like A Moat Too, Please.<br /><br />- clarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-46721146949697956052012-04-01T15:08:27.256+09:002012-04-01T15:08:27.256+09:00Agreed.

I have had friends who moved back to Florida from Japan, and they keep saying "Wait until the going gets rough - the Japanese will take it out of the foreigners." That may or may not be true, but tribal warfare is already in play in the US. And, frankly, I am less afraid of the Japanese government than Iam of the US gov't - something I never would have thought possible 20 years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
