The bailout can be potentially helpful, but without proper planning and oversight your money will easily end up paying for fuel for the jets of CEO's. So we need to plan it and oversee it to the highest degree possible and scrutinize every move the money makes, and show these companies that the people of the public mean business.

I totally agree that Fox News has the right to do so, but in my honest opinion, in a dire situation like the one were are in right now, it should not`exercise that right. Though I understand we are all entitled to know the truth, actually finding out will not affect you in any way. It will affect the economy though. In a bad way. So what's more important, your own personal knowledge, or the economy?-Pingangsterquote> I for one, would rather NOT include myself amongst the easily fooled, ignorant, chauvinistic sheeple. I want answers from government and I can tell you that I greatly value my own personal knowledge and safety from the cesspit of ignorance over the country's economy. It is important for the (more or less efficient) functioning of all societies, that the government have fear of the people rather than the other way around and that the people know more about the deep secrets and inner workings of the government than the government knowing the deep secrets and information of the people (in other words, governments that rely on secrecy and surveillance, such as our current administration, are not good, and always fail) and that is why it is always essential to ASK QUESTIONS and DEMAND ANSWERS.

Is there any wonder that us Americans just throw our arms up and say "England"? Keeps it simple. WE know what we are talking about... that there group of Islands off the coast of Europe... yeah, those little ones in a group. THAT is England. Just keeps it simple.quote> What absolute rubbish, the terminology is not that complicated. The people here DO agree on what its called . We were discussing the situation where Americans refer to the United Kingdom as England which is WHOLLY INACCURATE. "Those little islands" are not just referred to as England, Ireland is also in those islands and last time I looked Americans didn't class Ireland as England. We have already solved this and provided people with a diagram which explains things. Why the need to spew such clearly lazy and misinformed rubbish?quote> You miss my whole point... as far as the average American is concerned, The "United Kingdom" is just a fancy word for England. This is not meant as insult, nor arrogance. Just simply shows how Joe Public on the street views it. quote> Joe Public? try Joe Casual Ignorance

This is...amazing. Adjectives fail me....this is a great journal, great job.

It was all that was warranted in reply to your 'best'.quote> He never referred to them as "peaceful" in fact he specifically referred to them as "violent über-nationalist murderers" if I am reading correctly. Perhaps it is you who should stop putting words in other people's mouths?quote> Nope, you read it incorrectly. See the last line in his post. And @ JanYpe: Perhaps more than three lines in a single post would grant you the credibility to critique my 'best'quote> Sorry, I didn't notice the world peaceful there. Still, JanYpe makes a very good, respectable argument, and you shouldn't base his intelligence (or credibility or whatever) on my foolish mistakes. (assuming, that your last sentence "three lines in a single post" is referring to my post, which has three lines). Also I cannot help but wonder why you would support or defend the actions (assuming by the content of your posts posts that you do) of such a blindly chauvinistic and violent group of barbarians, who's obvious purpose is not sovereignty of the Basque region but simply to cause havoc and disruption among the Spanish populace. Clearly, there must be SOME fact or evidence which proves their correctness in causing widespread terrorism in Spain. But don't hesitate to correct me if I am wrong, again.

We cannot let the unawareness and pride of the ignorant few infuriate us all. After all ignorance is simply a petty annoyance............
