Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Hey TOT. I know you like to respond to reviews, and I'm bored and drunk so I thought I might write you an interview.
-What do you think of a completely secular society?
-What do you think of Dick Morris?
-Do you believe that Fox News is ridiculously biased, or just slightly? How does Fox News compare to other networks? I mean, I watch Fox and I honestly don't think it's that bad. Brit Hume is a democrat, and they do interview quite a few prominent Republicans.
-Have you ever listened to Rush Limbaugh, or did you just read Al Franken's book about him?
-How do you react to the optimism displayed by the panelists at Bush's Economic Conference?
-What are you getting your children for Christmas?

Well...Merry CHristmas. :)

Thank you for your review.

Completely secular society - NO! On paper it sounds good, but you need diversity (even though I detest zealots)

Dick Morris - He kept hookers on the streets

Fox News - Extremely biased. I don't deny them the right to state their opinions, but they definately shouldn't be allow to call it NEWS. Watch the movie "Outfoxed" if you can get it on the cheap. Very informative about Fox News.

Rush Limbaugh - Yes, I have heard his show 5 or 6 times. It is scary that people value the lies that this man spews. He is articulate and knows how to control a conversation, but he is nothing more than a "rabble rouser".

Bush's Optimism - HUBRIS! Bush really does not have a clue. I am not trying to get on a "Bush is a moron" bandwagon. I think that he is probably more intelligent than he is given credit for. HOWEVER, he lacks the real brainpower to run the country. I really believe that you you have to be more than "garden variety" smart (like Bush) to run this nation. I really do want a true intellectual to run this country.

Christmas - Kirby's rainbow something or another and other Gameboy stuff for the boys.

Dolls and other frilly items for the girls!

Merry Christmas to you as well! May the Gods of Macromedia bless you with Flash 7!

"Well, that's one side of the story."

submission: The War on Terror

date: November 30, 2004

This is a piece of socialist propaganda, and much of it is refutable.

Regardless of what you hear, there are Iraqi's that appreciate what the US have done. As far as I've heard, public opinion is split in Iraq. Some desire the safety and stability of a dictatorship, and some want to go forth and have elections and have a democratic Iraq. The Insurgency was started before the invasion took place, it was a group of Sadaam's supporters put together to "defend Iraq" in the name of Sadaam. They have been semi-successful in drawing in outside support, but you make it sound as though every Iraqi is upset that Sadaam left, when in fact, the insurgency is a small part of the population, and most Iraqis are at least happy that Hussein is out of power.

The 100,000 deaths statistic is grossly exaggerated. Most anti-war websites mark the max amount of Iraqis dead as less than 16,000, and though that is substantial, it's not nearly as much as the exaggerated figure you give.

Terrorists would hate us regardless of our policy in Iraq. Because we support Israel staunchly, we are an enemy to them. This is the root of Islamo-fascist terrorism today, along with ignorance.

Author's Response:

i've added a couple links that back up some of the facts and figures presented in the flash, including the 100,000 dead figure. and yes, one of the main reasons for them hating us is our support for israel, the only non-muslim country in the region, and we obviously arent going to abandon them anytime soon. however we need to stop the killing and imperialism on our part so we appear as less of an imminent threat to everone in the region.

"Funny, but..."

submission: Horny John Ashcroft

date: November 15, 2004

You do realize that FDR and his attourney general put all Japanese Americans into concentration camps for the duration of World War II, and it was upheld as important to national security in the Supreme Court? Also, Lincoln suspended writ of habeas corpus during the Civil War. Ashcroft successfully prevented further terrorist attacks without taking away as many civil liberties as Lincoln of FDR.

If you're going to rationalize that Ashcroft is a fascist, you might as well write off the entire US government during the Civil War and WWII as fascist as well. Ashcroft is a great American patriot who did his duty, and beats Janet Reno of Waco and Elian Gonzales fame anyday.

Author's Response:

You're a smart, knowledgable guy, but go back and take a debate class. You are using a logical falicy called "Two Wrongs". They don't make a right. And one thing doesn't prevent me from criticising the other.

"Question 3 is wrong."

submission: Heaven or Hell

date: November 10, 2004

I've heard the argument that an unfertilized egg is an aborted baby, but by that logic you'd have to count every sperm that doesn't make it to the egg, since both the sperm and egg have 23 chromosomes. When the chromosomes combine, the babies life begins. From that point, the babies has 46 chromosomes, a unique genetic code. Whether it's the woman's right to abort that baby is a different debate...

I don't think the appeals to faith are a bad thing. Religion is something that separates this country from other western democracies, and is crucial to our culture. Both men made appeals to the faithful, but Bush seemed more sincere about his faith. I felt like Kerry's speeches about faith contrasted starkly with some of his comments about Catholicism during his senatorial career.

You're right when you say no man can truly know which path is correct. I believe in Christianity because Jesus was a real man whose miracles and trials were well-documented, but I have to admit the rest is faith.

Author's Response:

Thank you for your review.

But I couldn't disagree more about Bush. NOTHING about his faith seems sincere to my. He sounds like a phony every time he talks about faith (IMHO). It just sounds wrong coming out of his mouth. Not that it sounded much better coming from Kerry.

I, however, am completely candid about faith. I think that RELIGION IS EVIL. Not "God is evil", but religion is.

God on his own is just great and can be a very balancing figure for people. It's religion that takes the concept and word of God and "twists" it into something that is ugly.
I can only believe that God is disgusted at how organized religion profanes his words.

I believe that God would want to have people follow the "golden rule". Do onto others as they do onto you. It's an good way to go. It works well with God and can easily apply to all religions. As you correctly stated, nobody knows for sure if their path is correct, but I believe that there is more than one road to Pittsburgh.

PS. The eggs that I am talking about are the ones that are already fertilized and frozen at the clinic, and there are 10's of thousands of those.

"Your flash sucked lol."

submission: THE NEW HITLER!

date: November 4, 2004

There's a reason Bush got elected, and it's not (solely) because Kerry had the personality of a brick. It's because he's a strong leader in a time of war.

Check out husseinandterror dot com and you'll understand, even though you probably won't want to. The major actions he has taken over the past four years have been largely justified, though I'll admit that he's made some huge mistakes.

I'm looking forward to the next four years. Market's looking good, so is the economy, the spending will be far more conservative, taxes will get lower. Cheer up, my friend. America is in good shape after 4 hard years.

I love that song by the way. It's great slow. :)
