at least he's not Bill O'Reilly



I'd say he's much worse than O'Reilly.  Here's the basic layout of Fox News:

Hannity:  Republican party mouthpiece.  Utterly incapable of thinking outside of Republican talking points.

Glenn Beck:  Unstable conspiratorial nutjob mouthing violent, fear-mongering rhetoric.

O'Reilly:  Pompous asshole with a short temper, but occasionally surprises you by deviating from the party line.

What do you think about Stossel? I always thought he provided good sound arguments on whatever his program was discussing that day...

Ya man. I agree with John Stewart on this one "O'Reilly is the most sensible person on that station now"
That's absolutely true. I saw O'Reilly take it easy on Dawkins. Though I think that had something to do with fear as well. I mean with that guy that PWNED him on drugs, he FREAKS. But now and then, I've actually seen a somewhat decent interview where he actually waits to speak and allows someone else to spit out their opinion.

Confused the SHIT out of my the first time I saw it. I HONESTLY thought he was medicated. No shit.

Here's CLASSIC BILL THOUGH..........

"I've never heard anyone say that altering one's consciousness is a natural drive"

Glenn Beck's IDEAS ARE ALL STUPID,IMO. But Please name one idea he champions that isn't stupid.

It's not as though he couldn't have a problem with corporate welfare, I mean, is he a conservative or not?
Then again, who's a classic conservative these days anyway.........


On another note, Conservatism is childish. Preserving the status quo displays an inability to think dynamically



you've invalidated all of what you said prior to that, maybe you're right, maybe we shouldnt preserve those freedoms that are the status quo



OMG Pris. :rolleyes: Relax. I meant to say extreme conservatism. :smirk:

Hell I'm conservative myself in some ways. I'm all for smart spending(but I am FOR spending on public projects) harsh penalties on sex offenders etc....



Oh... you mean the liberals that wear the republican hat, in fact your
views already label you as an extreme conservative



Quote:
So they passed it as a DRUGS+Violent Crime Bill. Which was totally scummy.



done in most of the bills in congress, I mention riders quite
frequently, if they cant pass something on it's own merit, the butcher
it and pass it over time in various other bills, sometimes they pass a
bill that allows them to modify things at any point or provide no oversight, no real governance... what makes this any scummier

Quote:
So if you grow less than 200 plants, it's pretty much Canada as we're used to. Nothing big happens. Provided your not running other drugs etc.



maybe you should read the laws, the penalties, etc... why are canadians
hiding their grows just like americans, I bet if you check, you'll see
there's a lot of canadian drug offenders, laws that are as archaic as
in the US 


Quote:
As for what you said to SS, I think that's unfair. And I think you know it. I think that was your opportunity to single him out as crazy or something. I may not agree with some of his religious beliefs, but he makes plenty of sense. And your little jab was a complete straw man.



that post specifically pointed out to the same scare tactics he was
talking about, if I'd said it about beck I'm sure you'd have agreed
with it...

GLEN BECK IS A DANGEROUS MAN

Glenn Beck is a rambling psychopath.  Simply being an idiot would be tolerable, as most right-wing radio jocks seem to do it without causing too much havoc.  But his outrageous lies combined with his conspiratorial fear-mongering about the government and progressives have me worried that one of hisgullible listeners is going to try to take action, and his lunacy will end up getting someone killed.

I honestly believe I could carry out a pretty good discussion on what makes Glenn Beck an idiot without even touching on political view points, or at least any specific points. However I think the discussion, especially if the other main party would be you, Pris, would be an adventure in futility.

I never knew until a few weeks ago but Glenn Beck makes an obscene amount of money.
$10 million a year on his radio contract alone.

Not that this has anything to do with him as a person or political mind, I was just astonished to learn he makes so much.

You don't understand Canada IMHO.  We have plenty of stupid drug laws, I agree. But we scored a major victory. They dropped the increased growing charges. Show me an American state where you can get away with growing even half that amount? And before that bill passed our drugs laws we're far more lenient. And they still are....

Harsh penalties (On especially repeat offenders doesn't make me a Conservative. I'm balanced in some ways)
But I'll post my score from the political axis quiz. Which claims I'm a left Libertarian. Which makes sense to me.
I want some government spending. I'm all for EI, Welfare(with limits and better rules!) Healthcare, which BTW, is fucking great :grin:

Now getting back to you not understanding my country. :tongue:

It WAS SCUMMY because former judges and prosecutors on the left and right, lawyers, all sorts of groups connected with law rejected the idea and decried it. And it went down in flames. So the Liberals are in an exploitable spot, having recently lost much of their popularity(FYI, I'm not a supporter of the "Liberal" RE:Center Right (on countless issues) corporatists) So the Conservatives this time introduce this bill coupled with violent crime legislation. Now I take issue with the Liberals not articulating a case. And they should have stood up to this.

But they acted like pussies, and the Conservatives acted like scummy snakes. If you don't understand that I doubt you understand how a MINORITY government works either. Canada is actually quite different in the way it functions politically. Much of which I like. But I'd love to have a REAL referendum system. Ours SUCKS.


I'd say a test with many questions is a better judge than your quick assement based on the fact I think repeat(and harsh) sex offenders should get more punishment. That's really quite a centrist position in Canada. Compared to many other western nations, we don't have nearly as harsh penalties related to such crimes.

Tightening them up a little hardly makes me an extreme conservative. :tongue:

Are you really high? :craven:









Because in all honesty I AM. :snowman:
But I know where I stand politically thanks.
And I just figured maybe you are really high as well. :P

He's just a ranting baby that uses domination techniques and nearly ever logical fallacy possible when he speaks. He's also the biggest douche bag around.

Every TV personality uses nearly every logical fallacy possible because they are persuasive to the general public--if the general public wasn't so retarded, then assholes like Beck would never gain the opportunity to become wealthy.


Mainstream media banks on idiocy.
