Negatory -- you are normal and have no need to delve into that psycho stuff.

Minister for gender gender equality? Has it come this far?

 

Not condoning the attacks, but does it truly require a Ministry level position to manage?

I can say......as someone who is married to an Algerian....It is truly a shame they do not have that position in Algeria.

I have a feeling the life expectancy of someone accepting such a position would be somewhat limited.

I absolutely agree.

 

 I also find it disturbing that hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated peacefully in Algeria for weeks to oust the president.....and the one story that they report is a story of violence that happened several thousand miles away.....

Because it fits the leftist media's agenda and furthers their message. I did see  reports on OAN where they covered the protests in Algeria showing non-violent demonstrations.

Does not compute. I don't do Algebra and "y" can solve it's own problems.

It is right here....at this point.... I will beg to disagree. 

Who here watches OAN? (Besides my Algerian husband)

And I am a pretty liberal Democrat.....how did some random attack in France make me feel better? 

I think maybe we should start looking at the objectivity in media on both sides.....I think we would be a society if we did.....

Janet's husband's name is Mr. 2x+y.

At naturalization, he plans to change it to something more American, like 3x+2y.

 

The above has inspired me to get the Calculus scraped from my teeth.

I watch OAN sometimes because they give a decent overview of International news. Something that is missing from other networks' non-stop Trump coverage.

It wasn't supposed to make you feel "better", but more "woke".

And . . . it's at this point I agree with you 100% about the need for objectivity in the media. Unfortunately, journalism/news has become a propaganda machine and rarely leaves the opinion up to the viewer/reader. There was a French talk show over the weekend where a guest was talking about why the French media gave no coverage to the Barr summary indicating no Russia/Trump collusion after 2+ yrs of repeating American MSM and Democrats assertion that there was/is. He raised the question of bias and lack of objectivity in the media. The other guests really had no response and the entire exchange lasted maybe 5 mins.

The Leftist mentality, we have to tell people how to act, think and/or feel.

 

Btw, does OAN still run commercial free?

No unfortunately they've started running ads but it's nothing like on Fox.

Public-service ads promoting Algebra literacy, chiefly.
