Snookie Got Suckerpunched - Jersey Shore
I agree, MTV has gotten off way too easy on this one. They basically 'used' the sensationalism of a violent act against a woman to promote a misgonyst show on their channel. The outrage of Italians against the show was more important than how the women on this program are not only potrayed but actually treated. (Thursday Dec 17 | post #9)
Whites would still be the majority as far as the most of any race they just wouldn't be more than half the total population. Being labeled white however is such a generic and ambiguous term it makes the research questionable. Secondly, the trends of minority populations is too slow their rate of population growth as they become more assimilated and affluent. This article from the Washington Post indicates that the rate of population growth is slowing and there are several Graduate Thesis's available thru google search explaining the normal trend to slow. http://www.washing tonpost.com/wp-dyn /content/article/2 009/05/13/AR200905 1303821.html (Wednesday Dec 16 | post #268)

Will the industry itself be as harsh on each other as it has been (recently) on individual file sharers? How can they even think of going after the 'little guy' when they have been 'stealing' off each other for decades? (Tuesday Dec 8 | post #247)
The guy is obviously a misogynist and hates women. I mean thats how it should be interpreted right? Its a prime example (both Bush and Palin) of how the media bias is evident in their reporting on political figures of the right vs the left. If the two (Bush/Palin) were on the left it would be seen as an asassination attempt and at this time the offenders would be skinhead, racists, terrorists that were overcome with anger. Instead its a tee hee haha story not to be taken seriously. Disgusting what passes for journalism. (Tuesday Dec 8 | post #246)
Its kinda like crying wolf. It cheapens the meaning of the measure your using for comparision and if people were called on it more often they would STFU. Nazis, Holocaust and Slavery are used to freely as analogies in political discourse. (Monday Dec 7 | post #243)

Its where the values of the religious, traditionalists within the black community tend to dovetail into the conservative ideals. Personally I think it is more a desire of the gay community to try and co-opt the Civil Rights movement analogy to try and garner support for their movement. There are some who are homo-phobic and 'anti-gay'. I think the majority of the country is just indifferent as to the bedroom preferences of strangers and don't see why that preference needs to be politicized. (Thursday Dec 3 | post #229)

http://www.nytimes .com/2009/11/17/he alth/17cancer.html ?_r=1&hp Hmmmm, doesn't a story like this seem a little odd giving the current health care debate? For the conspiracy theorists it's going to be a field day. How often do you see studies that tell you to take less precautions in order to identify terminal illnesses? Is this going to make the new health care guidelines Obamacare will impose go down easier? Will American lives be seen more as budgetary currency now that the gov't is getting into health care management? (Nov 16, 2009 | post #200)
