"I`m stuck here now with the choice between CBC News...with almost constant reporting of that dam crap going on in Vancouver and CNN with its constant fear-mongering war-related propaganda."

No, you are not! You have CTV, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, Global and CityTV, just to mention the obvious choices you have.

I would like to recommend FOXNews.

So you're a comedy fan Yukon.

 

[YukonJack]

"So you're a comedy fan Yukon."

If I were a comedy fan, I would advocate crap like "This Hour Has 22 Minutes", or "Little Mosque On The Prarie" or the anti-American slop by Rick Mercer.

 

[darkbeaver]

You just think you don't like comedy. Trust me, you love it.

 

[darkbeaver]

Have any of the winners checked their gold medals for tungston slugs I wonder?

 

[YukonJack]

"I don't have any of these problems since I got rid of my TV ten years ago."

Yet, you claim to be an expert on FOXNews, which, - SURPRISE - happens to be on TV.

Maybe peal a bit back to check for chocolate? 8O

Ron in Regina, thanks (????) for cleaning up my act.

If only you could apply the same stringent measures for posts like #18.

hahahaha

Ron, I hope you can hear the PEAL of my laughter at your post.

But then, maybe not. After all, you are moderator.

I completely agree with you Jack which comes as a surprize even to me. Posts like that should be the cause of a time out.

I usually get my news in corporate or military waiting rooms.

I don't even pretend to catch everything here, and I do react to those
posts that're reported for Trolling, Spam, Personal Attacks, Name
Calling, etc...I haven't looked at Post #18 in this Thread (& there's
no report on it), but I will.

If you have an issue with a post, report it, as Moderators just plod
along without any psychic abilities what so ever Jack.

Methinks if someone wants Mary Poppins, they should be doing the Disney Channel

Ron, reporting a post, for whatever reason - and I must admit that even I sunk low enough a few times - is the reaction when one has no valid counter-argument. It is the last resort of those who believe in stifling free expression, and believe in the censorship by the powerful.

But then, again, I may be wrong.

Your horse is more than a little high today YukonJack. Anyway, this Thread is
about another excuse for people to complain about the Olympics....

Ron, I'm not about to mix politics with the Olympics, however, I think the luge accident was coordinated at the Pentagon, and Obama insisted the steel pillars remained exposed. I wonder if a small radio-controlled explosive device was detonated by George Bush while he flew overhead in a white airplane. He was a pilot!! More than just a coincidence.

You are wrong. Sometimes you (anyone) can disagree with one or even two posts by someone and feel they've gone a little overboard. You can start a war by being insulting to them and/or telling them you really don't like or feel comfortable with what they have posted OR you can report the post without a fuss and just say it's not the place for the post and hope that the mods remove it. What's wrong with reporting an offensive post? It doesn't mean you are asking for a person to be banned. It just means that for that one post, you would prefer it wasn't here among the pages. Sometimes things just get out of hand and people get a little too carried away. Some words on here are ****** out. Others that probably should be, are not.

 

[Curiosity]

The Olympic coverage down here is pretty good and is repeated if people can't watch at certain times...

The Vancouver Organizing Committee has done an outstanding job of "tourism" as well and I have at least four couples who are going to take their vacations in B.C. and maybe other provinces - they can't believe how beautiful it is - the coverage
has been excellent considering the challenges weather and landscape offer for some of the venues.

As I said a week ago: Well done Canada.
