Are you quite done? I was trying to defend you, but if you feel you're better suited to go at it alone, that's fine by me.

funny- i got my international license.. i have a job since the age of 15. and i wear the hijab, and do not have an arranged marriage. do not hate a jew. i am palestinian. and would never harm someone. im the real muslim, not what your F-ING MEDIA SHOWS YOU. YOU GUYS ARE IDIOTS IF YOU BELIEVE IN THAT SHIT. ive lived in the middle east, and now i live here in the states. i speak perfectly fine english, dress like an american but with a hijab (scarF) you guys got this whole thing wrong.. and my fathers has never wore that "white dresS" by the way there is a name  - he lived in lebanon and kuwait his entire life. idiots. stupid media. |

ok..ok.. now you got me pissed. I WEAR THE HIJAB. by the way, cause you sound very stupid from the comment above.. hijab is that scarf women put on their head ' my parents never force it on my head.. i wore it because of ignorant fools like you. holy shit- in islam it states the hijab is not forced. and you know what elsE? i LOVE My hijab. just cause you dont want to wear it, doesnt mean i have to take it off. i LOVe my hijab. I LOVE it. it gives me my own respect towards my body. im not dressed like a complete whore like the girls around the world are. i live to respect my body, to become me, and not someone im not. i dont have to wear miny skirts to get a guys attention. and anyways, i want a guy to like me for who i am and not for my body. my soul is #1. not my body. if i dont respect my body and myself, who WILL? |

Good thing at the moment too. It sure is helping me with my current events. Yay bias and propaganda! Before people jump all over me I am not serious. Propaganda and bias scare the crap out of me.

The fact is that ALL news has a degree of bias to it. People will both Consciously and subconsciously form oppinions. Yes, i understand the ethics of reporting, but you cannot write or presently 100% factual w/o an oppinion.

Oh God, please let that not be true. I like McCain's stance on torture, but that's it. I'd even support Hilary Clinton over him. And the bit about a few people controlling the media isn't too far off base. I doubt it's a number as small as five, but there are only a handful of major media corporations in the West. I think. My info might be a bit...wrong. Meh.

No they'll send you a form letter with a printed presidential signature on it and just because McCain might end up president doesn't make his crackpot bullshit any less of a conspiracy theory.
