well this either says that he can't get a real job now from western media outlets or he is really pro-arab.

I guess the only "real jobs" come from america.

Since being fired by NBC, Arnett has been hired by a private Belgian TV network, a state-run Greek television channel and The Daily Mirror of London, a tabloid vehemently opposed to the war.

Excuse me!! WTF do you mean by that?

Come on, you know what he meant by that. No need to knee-jerk and get offended by something that was obviously not meant to offend.

Reminds me of the other day, when I was talking to someone from Sweden. He kept calling the darker people in southern Sweden "niggers" Asked me if I knew any niggers. Even asked me if they were as dark as they were on TV.

Now I could have easily got offended by such a thing, but knowing the kid was young, and obviously wasn't trying to be "racist" or offend, I did not take offense to it. But I did explain to him that what he said would be considered offensive to the people that live in the US.

Al Arabiya is financed by Saudis and Kuweitis. He's reporting for pro-war and rabidly anti-war companies.

How exactly has Arnett switched sides? Though of course the revealing implication in your phrasing is that NBC is not merely reporting, but actually choosing sides, i.e. biased. Interesting.

Pro-Arab != Anti-American

Anti-American != Pro-Hussein != Pro-Terrorism != blablabla.

It would do you well to think BEFORE you post.

I'm wondering when it will trickle down to people that there are NOT TWO sides to this issue, but about fifteen or twenty positions (probably many more) that can be and ARE taken.

Of course, if all you hear is "If you're not with us, you're against us"...

Was there a point to that post, or is it okay to just blow it off with a quick "**** you, too"?

Honest question.

If you're really asking where the Germans are, start looking in Afghanistan, rebuilding and securing.

Instead of having to constantly type this throughout different threads, why don't you just put it in your signature. It will save you a lot of time and typing.

Selective application is much more effective. I actually thought it was very well placed.

It got a rise out of you, didn't it?
