I saw this comment on another site and thought it was funny...

Ok I sat through I guess 10 minutes of "20 million questions for Kerry" after the Real World last night. I could not believe my ears and eyes....they were actually glorifying the fact that he turned against his country, and disgraced the millitary.
People were asking him questions like....
"Were you cool in college?"
"What are you going to do for me?"
I couldn't watch anymore. I think the voting age should be raised to 21 if the 18 year olds can't focus more in important issues. Trying to vote for someone just because you relate with them isn't realistic. There are way too many morons in the world these days. One girl said "Im voting for anyone that isn't bush." Now why is it that people are so angry with Bush that they would rather elect a toilet into office? And what does this 18 year old TRL watching highschool senior really know that made her feel this way?
I seriously think that MTV needs to get off the liberal spinwheel and show the american youth both sides of the campaign....It is rediculous that the 18-23 age group of voters is permiated by such partisan bullshit!!!!

Damn right Jam! For those of you who need a little more depth in to what Jam is trying to say....

Presidents have very little to do with the economy and national debt. Yes they can have an impact but nothing like Congress.
Clinton did NEITHER.. During the Clinton admin the economy grew due to Internet and dumbasses investing in Internet buisnesses that didnt even have a buisness plan. Hence the stock market crash that occurred just before he left office.
Clinton also NEVER got rid of national debt.. matter of fact he didnt even lower the national debt. He did run a surplus on the national budget.. meaning he taxed us mored than he could spend. Far as the surplus.. anyone who has taken a economic class can tell you. A gov is suppose to be able to run a surplus during peace time, and a debt in times of war. This is typical. Now regardless of what many of you think of Bush, Bush did the opposite.. Ummm.... we just went thru the FASTEST growth quarter of the last 30yrs. Unemployment is lower than it ever was under Clinton, as well as the major countries of Europe.
Seriously .. go look at the unemployment rate of Germany or France.. then look at our.. hahaha we kicked their euro asses!

Dude, this is your best post ever. :)

MTV has been spinning uberliberal for a long time and it's why we also are subjected to their screwed up view of Greek life - why in RW Hawaii Amaya (the sorority girl) was made to look like the total jerk and Kaia who was the backstabbingest, phoniest person I've ever seen on one of those shows was practically deified.

All I can say about the "Anybody/thing/sentient being But Bush" rhetoric is "Be careful what you wish for, or you will surely get it."

Peaches-n-Cream 03-31-2004 01:51 PM

I really think that the economic problems we are having are a result of a combination of events - Sept. 11th, the war in Iraq, the dot com bust of the stock market in 2000, and fraud such as Enron, Tyco, etc. I really don't think that you can blame President Clinton or President Bush. I'm sure that there are other factors that I didn't mention.

I haven't watched MTV in a long time, but that story really disturbs me.

The unemployment figures are difficult to calculate because once someone no longer receives benefits, they are off the unemployment list. There are many people who are unemployed, underemployed, employed part time, or on a temporary basis who do not qualify for unemployment benefits. I know many people who have been out of work for over a year and have used up their benefits, but cannot find a full time job.

Yea, they totally screwed up the view on Greek life. What pissed me off about MTV's whole greek life fling was that they used some shitty sorority and a shitty no name frat to show the public what being greek is supposed to be like. I dont understand, why couldn't they use a GLO like ZTA or DG or KD or ADPi....instead they used some sorority that 99% of the greeks in this country have never heard of. I guess some GLOs probably wouldn't allow it...but still, they could have come up with something better than whatever that sorority's name is. And I don't even want to get started on the frat they used, the guys in that frat looked like they were chess club members.

NPCs aren't allowed to participate in MTV's Greek Life.

Interesting, but NPCs were allowed to appear in the History channel's greek show? I know MTV and the History Channel are completely different from each other......but I'm wondering if they're were'nt allowed to participate just because it was MTV?

33girl 03-31-2004 02:32 PM

not really SL/FL
 
My complaint was more geared to the fact that when someone on RW or RR says they are Greek and proud of it, they're edited to make them look like a-holes. Mike (the Miz) was another example.

DeltAlum 03-31-2004 02:33 PM

Hasn't anyone figured out what MTV is about yet?

SENSATIONALISM.

If you understand that, and still choose to watch it, why waste the breath to bitch about it?

the fact that it's mtv probably played a part of it, but NPC doesn't really like chapters giving interviews to any news/television source. none of the chapters on my campus were allowed to talk to MSNBC when they were coming to do a story about greek life.
