Also, why 'bitcoin' and not 'titcoin'? I can assure you, I'd spend a LOT of time mining for titcoins.

The liberal bias is subtle but it is definitely there. If you make a big deal out of it though it seems like over reaction.

In this case, though, the issue isn't media bias as a stand-alone.  Drich intimated that only under-the-radar type news outlets covered the story, that liberal media wasn't interested.

Since this is patently false (I'm given to understand that the New York Times is somewhere left of centre) it isn't so much that Drich is getting worked up over liberal bias as it is that he's getting worked up over an instance of bias that does not exist.  This may very well be because Drich is a lunatic.

That only goes to show that drich holds truthfulness as highly as he does xtian charity.[/sarcasm]

Reminds me a bit of the Americans during Pearl Harbour. Sir, they hit us so we have to enter into the war and nuke two islands. Yep, reasonable force was not in use then either. Are you that fucking dim or does everything go over your head. Do you want me to break it down into more manageable parts so you can understand? 

Furthermore, I support Israel, and should more Palestinians die, I don't care. The Jews have the right to be there. Mind you, it amazes me that the so-called most powerful country in the world loves to take it from behind like a bitch from Israel.

Seriously? You're comparing the PTO to Israel's policy of bombing civilians? Japan in 1941 was a expanding, powerful empire. Its policy of conquest in Asia was an existential threat. Israel, on the other hand, are performing actions that are all out of proportion to what the Palestinians are doing.

The only way you could seriously compare the two would be if the Japanese had snuck into Hawaii and sprayed 'Roosevelt is a Homo' on a palm tree and then run away, at which point the US immediately began dropping bombs on preschools.

Is it only me that feels like all the theists are hiding? They seem barely anywhere and when they show up it seems only for a second.

News sources that are biased towards the truth, indisputable facts, scientific research, and credible journalism are always going to be called "left wing" by those who pay no attention to those "elitist" criteria.

Lol @ "biased towards the truth"

As far as I'm concerned, this is not the case. If a group like Hamas lances rockets, then Israel has a god damn right to retaliate to defend itself.

From where I'm sitting the BBC has a right wing bias and was part of reason for the Labour defeat by using the same gutter tactics as the tory rags. How many times did the BBC show that fucking picture of Ed eating the bacon sandwich!

Perhaps you are right. I mean Hamas is Islamic, and Islam is pretty extreme shit, next to neo-nazism, KKK, Aryan nation, nation of Islam and all other extremes. Mind you, the Jews can be extreme right-wing too.
