    For instance, they have banned .50BMG riles in california, although there has never been any crime commited with them, because they might be "terrorist weapons". http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/01/06/60minutes/main665257.shtml[^] The Patriot Act[^] has been passed giving law enforcement to spy on you in pretty much any way they want to, because they say it will make you safe from terrorists.

    How do you think your government should address the threat of terrorism?

        First of all, they should increase the security with the Mexican border, as it is now, a terrorist could smuggle any type of weapon they wanted into America, probably even a nuclear weapon, but the government seems afraid to do anything about the border because it is politically incorrect.

          Actually, ABCNNBCBS is a Simpsons' joke which is shown by FOX. The only good thing that came out of FOX were the Simpsons and 24.

            But that wouldnt have stopped 9/11 or the attack on the Cole (sp?) On another note, do you think the Iraq war has helped stabalise the middle east?

              In this highly polarised world, it seems natural that even news media are biased in some way or other. So my qestion is, which news media(portal/network) do you prefer to get the facts of a particular issue?

              I try to get news from multiple sources. When I find an article or news item that is interesting I'll try to look it up on multiple sites. I've found news.google.com is pretty decent as well as yahoo's news. I think the TV news (CNN and Fox) are far too polarizing so I tend to avoid them. If I am going to watch the news I prefer The Colbert Report and The Daily Show. The both tend to lean to the left but, I watch them for the fun of it. I honestly have given up on our current politicians (liberal and conservative) and their sycophants repeating the same talking points again and again. It seems they are more interested in keeping us polarized than actually getting important work done.

                http://english.aljazeera.net[^] Unfortunatly a lot of the news on the english site is straight from the wires. My understanding is that they have been working hard to expand the English reporting[both online and TV], but there is a long way to go.

                  Of the two parts you quoted I cannot see that one is more pro than the other. Can you point out explicity which areas you find "pro-muslim". As far as I can see they are both respectful and acurate.

                  Ummm.... Yes, it does: Conveniently you missed the introduction[^] where it said: Christians believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God You also missed the bit, also in the introduction, where it said: God sent his Son to earth to save humanity from the consequences of its sins And in the section on beliefs[^] it says: Jesus died on the Cross so that those who believe in him will be forgiven all their sins
