    Please be assured that CSS does NOT represent all of us yanks, as you brits like to call us... Some of us actually have functioning brains, and a subset of those actually use them. Not as many as I'd hope... But still. But hey, that's the downside of free speech... Not only do we have to let CSS keep talking, but we have to SUPPORT his RIGHT to keep talking, no matter how stupid it makes us all look.

    We stopped calling you 'yanks' more than thirty years ago. Odd that you still refer to us as 'Brits'. Sort of demeaning don't you think!

      Yeah, suck up to the British. They have always thought of real Americans as the lowest of the low ever since ~1776. Only after we converted into a corrupt welfare fascist state that its supporting Americans gained respect from the british tyrants and their fools.

        They report more honestly than most news sources, they are also popular here in America. I don't know how people can hate the messenger so much but love the people that the messenger is warning about. You are flipping logic and that only makes things worse for you. The Daily Mail isn't going to go anywhere, in fact, they are only gaining in popularity as the government propaganda becomes less popular.

          Yes, it is very evident that the Daily Mail is a more honest news source than the mainline BBC, CNN, ABC, and the other peddlers of government propaganda.

          Mainly the intelligent people with discernment.

              You could hardly be considered an American. The ONLY way my free speech could be taken is if I were killed. No amount of fear of punishment will stop me. I know whats right, and I'll be damned if anyone is going to stop me from telling others what I know is right.

              Not true, there are any number of ways to leave someone with no viable way to communicate without killing them.

              Not much of a relativist are you? A hint, don't apply this assumption to programming, the first way you come up with to do something probably sucks compared to the possibilities others have found.

                I was talking about the video which was a party propaganda piece by the BNP who are a bunch of right wing fucknuts. They are gaining political capital at the moment by appealling to the aggrieved and angry to get votes. Admittedly to a certain extent focusing on things both the tories and labour should be talking about but they are both a bit busy ramming their tongues up the back cracks of any banckers they can find to see if they would like some more money. If the BNP got in power they wouldn't bother with conspiracies to try to take over the world they would just get on with it. As to the Daily Mail this is a page discussing it's complete lack of anything approaching accuracy. http://www.badscience.net/category/media/papers-mail/[^] It's a paper. It prints what it can sell to it's target audience on a daily basis, you can call that news if you really want.

                              Foxhunting was barred in Britain. But I'm told, that could be reversed next Parliament. Tell Fox to be very afraid, our hounds have sharp teeth. :rolleyes:

                                Given the way you equate "American" to "Alex Jones / Ron Paul worshipper," I'd prefer you just stuck with "Un-American" or similar compliments. Keeps things clearer.

                                  No-one can argue that you're free to speak. It's the words you choose to speak which reflect badly on you, no-one is suggesting that stopping you talking would make you any smarter, it would just hide what is now in plain view.

                                    Please be assured that CSS does NOT represent all of us yanks, as you brits like to call us... Some of us actually have functioning brains, and a subset of those actually use them. Not as many as I'd hope... But still. But hey, that's the downside of free speech... Not only do we have to let CSS keep talking, but we have to SUPPORT his RIGHT to keep talking, no matter how stupid it makes us all look.

                                    The upside is that his ignorance is in open view and easily mocked. If it were hidden, it would fester because it would not be open to correction.

                                      That's the first time anyone has put 'Daily Mail' and 'real news' in the same sentence; only you could be so stupid. As for the BBC being the government mouth piece, you have absolutly no idea how it works! The BBC is allowed to raise revenue through a legal framework but is run independant of government and the incumbent is usually its fiersest critic. You really should get out.
