What exactly is your point Nexty-boy?

What exactly would be the problem with re-posting from Kos?

(Not that I did, I found it on Media Matters).

Did you think I was the first person in the internet to post this photo?

Have you never reposted anything from your far-right blogs?

**

Oh, and logic and a basic knowledge of statistics also seem to be a stranger to FOX...

Try to get your news from better sources than Fox and the Guardian and you might become a bit more relaxed.

Hope that helps. wink.gif

I'm the most relaxed guy you know Wanda. The one thing that I'm criticized the most for (in the real world) is being too relaxed.

That's the irony.

Speaking of Fox News, Bill O'reilly recent slammed Amsterdam as a way of attack Obama=

Why do you all watch the network if you hate it? By constantly posting about it you make others curious & then they watch & the ratings go up & up & you ensure those people at Fox a job on Monday. Besides, what kind of people would we be if we only watch & read those things which we agree with rather than sinking in some new ideas? There's a word for that....what was that word?

Just kidding, whatever floats your boat. I'm just surprised Osita hasn't come by to post her/his disapproval of a thread which has absolutely nothing to do with Motown.

It's not news smile.gif . Although I thought a landlocked Egypt was rather funny. Nice to see everyone not get the point of OP and instead jump on where the image came from, rather than what was wrong with it. I guess in neofacist education, the whole area is merely labelled JESUS COUNTRY, the sovereign states having no relevance, oil-willing wink.gif.

BTW - I'm English and too young for Motown to have had an impact on my life - Diana Ross et al are my mothers generation. But don't let that spoil your image of me Liissaa!

It is unfortunate that the education system in parts of the UK has deteriorated so badly.

Dear Wanda, trying to blame the messenger again? The OP clearly said in the title of his thread (to which Osita referred) that Fox is responsible for the geographical misnaming. As far as we know, Fox is located in the US of A. What has the "education system" in the UK to do with it, pulease???*

* You obviously could do with three typically French characteristics: Order, Clarity and Logic. smile.gif

In this case, blaming the idiotic messenger is exactly the right thing to do.

Since the education system in the US is hardly neo-fascist, i assumed that the little bear referred to the UK system.

I would love to see more order, clarity and logic from posters like Osita and hopefully, she will take your suggestion seriously.

Speaking of order and clarity- still waiting to see how this corresponds with 'international news' because if Wanda, Next or I had posted this thread, well you know... ( I'll give you all the benefit of the doubt because I am nice ).

Fox News is a news station that shows news programs internationally. You can watch Fox news in different countries. So this is a news story about an international news show that showed a nation in the wrong place - internationally.

That's why it's international news.

Sorry if it's difficult for you.

Glenn Beck is certifiably insane.

No, it's offered on pay TV, along with 200 other stations (including Al Jazeerah)

And only by one cable company I think. Not Casema.
