Wetarded, here is the HUGE problem with YouTube: It can fool you. YouTube "cel phone pops popcorn". Watch it. Be impressed. Think it's real. It's fake. Yet, there it is, right in front of your face. That doesn't make it real.
Here is another HUGE problem with YouTube: Veracity. You cannot check veracity very well with these YouTube vids because you generally get directed to blogs, more YouTubes, and very little of substance.
When you're reading a news article, you must understand that the media actually have a set of standards, especially news gatherers such as Rueters and Associated Press. It's a VERY bad thing if (when) they mis-report, and it does indeed happen.
Try these links on for a change;
Link TV | Television Without Borders -- it is almost entirely political, and it gives you an idea of "the other side of the story". For some educational entertainment, I would then like you to watch a video, but while you watch it be sure to read between the lines, and maybe even read this guy's blog (d'oh!):
Like a suppository, only a bit stronger × Comme un suppositoire, mais juste un peu plus fort | the dissident frogman
1. whens the last time you had a muslim come to your door trying to convert you? (Jehovah's witness')
2. Manifest destiny included massive amounts of slavery in the name of "God" (African Americans)
3.The largest genocide in Human history was committed in the name of furthering christianity
1. None. No Buddhists, either. As a matter of fact, the Buddha never even addresses the issue of whether there is a god or not, or even if there are many gods and goddesses. (This is in part for Wetarded, he asked what religion doesn't try to convert you, and I'll add Zoroastrianism and Hindu to that list, too.)
2. So, you're saying that all those (Muslim) Arabs and Africans who captured and sold those people into slavery were actually doing so in order to fulfill
their manifest destiny? That doesn't make much sense at all.
3. What largest genocide in history was that? I can think of a few actions that definitely count as genocide, and my memory isn't including "Christianity" in any except the Crusades. Come on, man, it's not like those Muslim boys weren't handing it back as well.
And how could we leave out Suleiman the Magnificent (he sure got Lord Vlad's panties in a bunch, didn't he?)?
How about the Great Leap Forward? Was that about Christianity?
The Communist killings between 1918-1945? No..? Those don't fit the paradigm?
Then, there are those who would suggest that the Anglo-American (largely) actions against Native Americans in the west, especially out here in California, were the worst in terms of genocidal action. The Ustashi Serbs were so brutal that SS officers and soldiers often requested transfer out of the country... the list is so extensive that debate is still heated regarding that term "largest genocide in history".
Just sayin'.
