Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at Columbia *ON NOW*

[Starks]

Let's see what happens... Should be interesting.

Something I was wondering...

In an article he said that the US officials are stating that they want nuclear weapons to attack us and that they don't want to attack us, etc.

In other articles he is portrayed as some terrorist who wants to destroy us, but how do we know if what we are being told is correct? (and how do we know it's wrong?)

I always wonder this because when the media reports it is different than what he says and I don' tknow what he says is because I don' tknow the language.

I don't exactly know what I am trying to say.. lol.. Does anyone else understand what I am TRYING to say? =)

Basically how do we know whether to trust what he himself says or what the government tells us what he says?

How do you go about finding who to believe?

 

[JosephTheLibertarian]

He seems like a cool guy.

 

[Starks]

I hate how Bollinger is priming the audience with negative sentiments.

 

[Starks]

A good question, one that I have pondered myself. If we are being propagandized to, how do we recognize truth from propaganda?

If you believe in God, you can turn to Him for guidance.

If you don't believe in God then I would say believe nothing at face value, all you can do is research and make your best effort to get as close to the truth as possible.

I am in awe in how much haterade this Bollinger guy is spewing... I know its free speech, but show some damn courtesy!

 

[JosephTheLibertarian]

ha.. Bollinger is trying to protect his ass

 

[Starks]

Bollinger just dug his own grave and shattered his credibility...

HE JUST CITED THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS!

 

[allyinoh]

Do not say he is a nice guy.. You are a traitor if you say that..

J/k.. =)

We were down this road not so many years ago..... WMD's remember. Saddamn out right denied having anything, our government told us they did. Which turned out to be true? Now you draw your own conclusions on who is lying this time.

 

[silverhandorder]

Wow this is going to be intresting, president of a country being questioned. I mean how many discussions like these have we had.

 

[Starks]

This is how foreign policy (albeit with less hostility) should be done... Open forums and discussion.

[JosephTheLibertarian]

Though, I think this bollinger guy is a moron.

 

[Starks]
