fraud

This is my thread for abstract discussion of relatively philosophical issues about political shenanigans. I would prefer people keep trolls, flames and ad hominems to other threads. I can only Ignore offenders, but I'd be pleased if people managed to firewall this thread from the unpleasant...

Who was the century's worst scammer, con artist, media manipulator, grifter, liar or charlatan? Uri Geller? Charles Ponzi? Here's the link: http://www.time.com/time/time100/phonies/index_orig.html Lots of the options are ridiculous. For example: Marlboro Man (counts as a "who"?) Edward...

From the BBC.... How sick! Michael Jackson should become a UNHCR staff member, a bowl of rice is sure cheaper than $25,000,000 in hush money. So, who polices the UN again? Oh yeah, the UN. :rolleyes: -z

I just realized something. Anyone can register anywhere. There is no real check of identity and no requirement for proof of citizenship. WTF? Shhhhhhhh ... Don't tell the Democrats.

No, I'm not accusing anyone of doing it, but I'm wondering. When I voted this morning, all I needed to do was to go to the proper precinct, give them my name, and then sign next to my name in the registry. OK. Now, my wife is not able to vote because she is out of town. Suppose someone knew...

compiled from mostly AP by FNC Nice wrapup, and it includes many previously discussed blurbs. I find the Ohio action interesting. These judges have circumvented the written law the day before the election. They do have a point which is that these people will clutter the process. However, once...

Tonight, FoxNews Hannity and Colmes will have Jerry Falwell on to comment on the GOP platform. It amazes me that this clown is still treated seriously. Even Donahue had him on for a whole hour on his shortly lived primtime MSNBC show. Does anyone remember The Clinton Chronicles? This was an...

I almost didn't post this, but before I completely dismiss it out of hand, I thought I'd get the input of people who may be more knowledgeable about this than I am. There are a couple of websites claiming that the Berg decapitation video is a fake. They seem to be about on the same level as the...

This is all the evidence I need: wright bros fraud

Hello, I believe this is my first post here on your forums. By way of introduction, I am the co-founder and site director for Bullshido.com, a website devoted (mostly) to rooting out fraud and what we call 'Bullshido', in the Martial Arts. We're a bit rough around the edges, but we share...

Interesting question raised in another thread. Could the war have been 'justified' without the WMD argument? If this was not presented as being valid, was there any other argument that would have worked?

For those of you in the Cleveland area, there is a special on Fox8 news Tuesday night at 10. They are showing some religious guy who claims to heal people. I will watch it and see what conclusions they come up with. I don't recognize him. They didn't say his name. I once went to a church which...
