Shame on CNN. CNN has just given Ben Ladin, a free broadcast to the world to call up all Islam to fight the west. Couldn't this be akin to aiding the enemy? I think so. If we would have had a CNN 1945 Hitler would have won the war. I don't think that is an over statement. we must always force our enemies to use their resources to fight us, not ours.

Shame on CBS and Fox! These two of our four major national broadcast networks chose to broadcast NFL football over covering the events with American lives at risk in Afghanistan. Unbelievable!

Attention Media:

Freedom of speech will not be tolorated here.

Ed Copp, I do not see any threat to Freedom of Speech here. Our constitution gives us that , however using it to aid the enemy has never been tolerated. Nor should we use our constitution as a suicide pact. I do not think that a nut sitting in the rocks in Afghanistan should be given a world stage with our technology (tax subsidized satelites and transmission system). Hitler was reduced to using psychics and the astrology to find the enemy and plan his moves. Not Bin Laden, he'll watch CNN and know our locations, our strengths and time tables. As I stated before with such information Hitler would have won the war.

Del:

You may have missed what I think is the intent of Ed's post. This forum is monitored, ususally first by me, then by Dave. We do not allow anything and everything to be discussed. Some may call it censorship, and others editorship.

-- Ken S. in WC TN (scharabo@aol.com), October 07, 2001.

OH, I guess I misunderstood. The media is allowed to have freedom of speech as long as DEL agrees with what is being broadcast.

There now I have it.

-- Ed Copp (OH) (edcopp@yahoo.com), October 07, 2001.

Ya see folks ... just always gotta be someone being mean and nasty fer the heck of it, I rekon. Ya takes ol Copp here ... gotta give Dave an Ken a hard time of it fer decidin what does and don't belong on the forum they are so kind to share with the rest of us decent folks, and then when someone points out that CS ain't such a bad place to visit and learn and git to know folks an ifn he don't like how its run he can just leave, he gits all touchy-feely with that feller, too. Now I ain't one ta point fingers ... well, hell yes I AM one ta point fingers. Ol feely-touchy thar gots the right ta say what he likes and he got the right to move on to other pastures ifn he don't like whats bein said here. Ya mulls over his decision and ya gotta believe he's just one fer causin trouble whenever an however he gets the chance sortta like that thar ben jr feller. Tell ya what Mr. feely-touchy, Im gonna exersize my right to say what I wants when I wants and make you my special project an example. Even Miss Jenny, whut with her talkin bout my big gut an all didn't set me up side a murdin scum dog like Ben Hiden - you aint only feely-touchy, you're downrite mean an nasty. So I rekon every post ya makes, ol Cap will havta be thar ta jawjack at ya. or ya could come on over an sit a spell an we could mull it over an have a swig o shine. then I could take ya out to have a close look at my new pigs and the 600lb sow. Hell Id even let ya get in an pet the lil ones ... that thar sow aint mean atal. Course she smells that shine on ya she might think ya been soaked up real good just fer her! What do ya think feely-touchy wanna come over fer a visit? Naw didn't think so. But I'll bet ya run yer jibbs some more, won't ya? Hot air always got a way of gettin out.

Boy did this thread get all screwed up....

I refer to the constitution of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, which says ALL men are created equal. That would even include the people that I do not agree with, and the media also.

Then a bit later someone comes along and posts some jibberish, that I cannot read or understand. Hmm... O'l bin gets on T.V. and talks away in a language that cannot be understood (by me ) either. I guess I am just a succer for english. If you are not speaking or typing in english then I for one, am in danger of not knowing what it is that you said (or think you said about whatever it is that you think you read). Nuff said about that.

Heck I did not even comment on the part about the football games being interrupted. This is actually a comment that would be better on some other board since it is religeous in nature.

Everyone knows that the NFL is the third largest religeon in the United States, second only to the WWF, and NASCAR. Sure hope Hoot doesn't see this.

-- Ed Copp (OH) (edcopp@yahoo.com), October 08, 2001.

Okay Ed TRUCE. We don't need to be fightin each other if that's okay with you. Deal?

-- Cap'n (cptnktal@yahoo.com), October 08, 2001.

O.K.
