Ashley Todd Confesses to Lying about Attack

[Peikko 1,575]

I don't think I denied that their are insane people that do things to help their candidate. I am just not certain that this was in fact this person's motivation - I don't know enough about it to make that judgement, and nor do you. It may be, it may not be.

Oh, good grief, more logic from anul sex = homosexuality!

You sure have a fixation on all things gay.

Did you ever come up with that clip?..... Nahhh didn't think so.

That would be it - nothing to do with your inability to think logically. Noted, that not only can you not explain yourself to even your own satisfaction, you can't get beyond this idea that a 'video clip' of animals having ####### sex would somehow convince you of the error of your ways.

YOU'RE the one with the crystal ball

No...neither of us can do more than speculate (or choose not to)...but you appear to speculate that her motivation was NOT political.

I have firmly stated the basis for my speculation on her motive....I'm waiting for you to give the basis for your opposition.

As to the media, they are only doing their job. While it would be great to think that their job is to inform, the reality is...their job is to entertain, to create

sensational stories so their advertisers will be able to make impressions to consumers. If the media happens to accurately convey some sort of

newsworthy content, that is a byproduct, not the goal of their management, company and investors.

Those who control them consider sensational headlines and increased viewership, instead of accurate unbiased stories as a sign of success.

My cynicism does not intend to detract from the thousands of great journalists who selflessly risk their lives and have goals of delivering

timely and accurate news without bias. However, the goals of the journalist and the goals of the media are often quite disparate.

Having read some of your posts in the past, I believe you to be an intelligent and sensible person, that said, perhaps we should just agree to disagree on this topic....the weekend awaits.

My crystal ball is cloudy, please come back tomorrow for a more acurate prediction

Seriously though, that's fine, I don't have a problem with having a different point of view than yours on this matter. I will continue to hesitate to ascribe more to this incident than I feel it merits. This particular 'supporter' is an ####### turn page. What we should take from this and give us heart, is that the authorities did not jump to any pre-concieved conclusions but assessed the claims with proper neutrality. Maybe there is hope for us all yet?

Well it's kinda like the UFO thing, if I can at least see it in real life it will go along way to convince me it is normal in the animal world as some claimed..

If this is like the UFO thing, what you are actually saying is that you will believe in them only if they look exactly like the flying saucers in 60's budget movies - if not, they don't exist. Does that help you understand how ridiculous your logic is? Somehow, I doubt it

Good point.
