Moore bashing 101 take a seat

[RoadClosed]

OK C band satellite is the HUGE monster dishes like the size of a car. Ku band is among the lines of Dish and Direct TV owned by Hughes with ground based control sites all over the planet. NOT THE SAME BAND. OK They are different in programming and there are many ways TV hops around the world, you can even pick up their own feeds OUTSIDE of normal distrubutors by pointing things of fun at specific transponders. C band is mostly used for RAW feeds and not content delivery, although like stated you can intercept them. Just clarifying.

Personal Opinion:

Dictators weren't put into place after ww2 in the middle east. They siezed control through violence. Old Monarchies were re-established based on input from middle east leaders of the time and some remain. Some established Democracies and changed to latin based languages.

The British are not to blame for ww2, fascism and socialism are to blame as pussy footed countrymen let a political party roll over them without a blink because they believed that no action was better and less of a threat to them that picking up a sword; accept one and they know who they are.

That is not how you browbeat this is how you browbeat, take note.

Congratulations on stating one fact, !mitationRust! Doesn't it feel good?
Too bad about those (at least) 6 screw-ups, though
I've included them here for your convenience! You're welcome!

Now,you have the audacity to choose to imitate a pedantic type of lifestyle? Above was your umpteenth "screw-ups"(6&gt hopefully your last in this thread? But for pedantic sake I have a list with your name all over it.

96 days total, and 96 days happens to be 42% of 228 days, which is... guess what?!? 8 months!

Where did you get 228 from? I know there is a Leap year but I have not heard of a backwards time warp year, is that on the belgium calendar!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Dish Network doesn't offer it. DirectTV doesn't offer it. Cable definitely doesn't offer it. You were saying?

What were you saying about facts, this that which is it?

BTW: Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabya are (legally!) available to almost all Europeans via satellite.

Where did I state they were not?

Your set of "questions" isn't worth my time. I'll stick to facts.
The longer this discussion goes on, the more "facts" that are actually only opinions you throw in. I'm sure even the ones in your "camp" can see that. At least the others are posting with sense.

Yeah, you will stick to what, with how much sense and fact? Not worth your time, how much do you charge for your time? *sigh*

The only way discussions like these can be kept interesting is when people stick to facts. Reading opinions gets boring after a while. I couldn't care less about what one thinks about Moore (good or bad), but I'm definitely interested in the facts (good or bad)...

Reading uneducated lies gets boring too!

I couldn't care less about what !mitationRust thinks about Moore, but I'd be more than happy to read his comments on Moore's flick if for once they'd be based on facts. Screaming that "Moore is nothing but a liar" while basing your opinion on non-facts makes you look stupid, just like preaching about history while you get all your facts wrong does...

Your spout offs are making you look, well...uneducated.

If that guy can't find the 2001 Washington Post article, he needs to learn how to use a search engine...

I believe you were the one who needed to use a search engine, destination al jazeera.com *sigh*

Facts, facts and mo(o)re facts, !mitationRust. It scares me that you accuse Moore and his "followers" of trying to pass lies as facts, while the only ones doing it in this case are the ones you quoted your first article from.

Was this you chirping in and preaching about facts & passing lies. That is called "double talk" in america what is it called in belgium? *sigh*

!mitationRust quoted someone stating that that particular part of the movie is not true.

Where in the quote does it state that? Spin,Spin,Spin...ect

The original quote stated that Moore's statement is false, while it is true. Then who is the propagandist?

Where did the man say it was false? Yes who is the propagandist, who? Yeah but you never claim moore is a propagandist, which he clearly is. Why are you so selective? *sigh*

I don't take just anything as a fact, but in this case a fact is a fact: the Washington Post did publicize that article.

Where did he state that it never was "publicized"?

All I did is prove that the article quoted by !mitationRust is non-factual. I don't care what anyone thinks about Moore, as long as they use facts. Which wasn't the case.

"non-factual" go back and read.

And trust me: kids in Canada, France, Germany, etc. learn a hell of a lot more about American history than American kids learn about any other part of the world.

Is this a opinion,lie or fact? What was that, you went to school in all of these countires? Why should we trust you.


I'll contest your seven quotes later I have a flight to catch early in the morning, I work for a living.

As for a suggested logical class recommendation,FYI I've attended several lectures by professor Hawking which would be way over the head of most elementary,intermediate & high schoolers aswell as college students so I would not recommend them.

I've never been interested in browbeating, so forgive me for not taking notes, Professor !mitationRust.

96 days: the 54 days mentioned in the article + 4 days in Kennebunkport + 38 days at Camp David = 96 days.

The 228 days was my calculation, based on the Washington Post statement that Bush will have spent 42% of his presidency at vacation spots or en route, and based on 96 days being 42% (again, according to the Post): if 42% is 96 days, then 100% is 228.57142857142857142857142857143 days (forgive me for rounding that down to 228 days).

The correct calculation would be:
Bush got inaugurated on January 20, 2001.
Labor Day in 2001 was September 3.
January 20, 2001 to September 3, 2001 is 227 days.
During that time (227 days), Bush spent 96 days at vacation spots or en route (again: according to the WP).
Now, 96 days out of 227 days is... 42.290748898678414096916299559471 % (rounding down: 42 %).

227 or 228 days: both have 96 days as being 42% (42.105263157894736842105263157895% for 228 days, 42.290748898678414096916299559471% for 227 days).

That's on the Gregorian calendar (Belgian AND American). 2000 was a leap year, not 2001.

I already admitted that that was an error. Al Jazeera indeed is offered by Dish Network.

Nowhere. That's why it was just a mere "BTW" in reference to your statement that Americans can watch "anything the world watches". They can't.

And I don't need a search engine to go to aljazeera.com (I think aljazeera.net is the tv-site, though, not aljazeera.com)

Never knew Hawking's specialty was logic, though...

I was going to mention that since I used to watch it all the time but I didn't want to get in they way of the mud spattering I have enjoyed so far. There are many mid eastern based feeds that can be intercepted over our skyway and even subscribed too. Amazing Selection

[Negative]

Lol... I found that part of Dish Network's site, too.
I admitted I was wrong, so there you go
Still doesn't mean that you can watch "anything you want", though...
