People get scared when they see the government wanted to take away their guns. It will never go well out in the sticks. Obvious difference? Really? So is a .45 caliber hand gun meant to hunt or to wound people? Or to kill people? There is nothing obvious about it, and yes I know about guns. | ||

If you want the correct answer, very few media giants have a horse in the race (owners might). Any broadcaster wants a fight to the death in the political arena. Regardless of how lopsided a campaign might be, the media will still do everything in its power to pretend, convince, or lie to the public to get them to believe it is close. By doing so, they ensure additional ad revenue by the campaigns. They make the most money during election time, so keeping it close is in their vested interest. It might seem like I'm rambling off topic a bit, but it's insanely important. The media is insanely important in determining who wins the election. They're not looking to inform and they're not looking for truth - they're looking for an entertaining fight to keep ratings and revue high as that is their only concern. | ||

On October 17 2012 11:28 Defacer wrote: what does that mean, labelling China a 'currency manipulator?' they toy with their currency to gain favorable exchange rates or something. I've read the stuff on it before, it's blatant and real. I don't know the specifics though, so I can't comment too much about it. | ||
