Google Adwords is much cleverer than that, the advertisements are localised and by category of what your search habits are. That way they can sell to thousands of companies around the world at the same time instead of one, so the price comes down and more people are willing to fork out for it. The ad. you see will (most likely) be different to the ad. another person on the other side of the world or the room you are in will see.

** Do you think he is ultimately responsible as the CEO of the company regardless of what he knows?? **Considering that particular company is only 1% of his media empire, can you not see that the repercussions of this debacle 'might' shine some light on similar wrongdoings in the other 99%.

He is in the business of developing stuff, and selling those products, Rupert is in the business of gaining information off people and it turns out he is breaking the rules, left right and center... Subtle difference, but I will have to agree that Soros is up there when we are on the subject of influence, but that is not what this thread is about, is it. Boogeyman of the Libs for the last 10 years and more, yes. What are they to you, don’t pass the buck here. Haven't read it, but it probably beats running up a trillion dollars in deficit spending.

Have you been watching the news lately? I can't see how anyone can not see that he clearly is responsible as the head of the company, however the extent of what he was aware of may be. I particularly enjoyed listening to that woman questioning him on his leadership, he was lost for words and his cue cards could not drag him out of his shame. I think it is safe to say we all can conclude (whether we are willing to admit it or not) that this is only a scratch on the surface of the type of corruption that has found a slot in the status quo... It will be interesting to see what unfolds from all of this. More apathetic individuals will be discovering the extents of the influence people like Murdoch have and that can only be a good thing in the long run. Anyone remember the PNAC?

Hi, Thanks for the suggestion. It seems to me that human beings and our connection with 'each other' are the focal point of that lot. I am more interested in people that can understand that putting our ecology is just as important. Learning to live in harmony ‘with our surroundings’ is the only way to ensure we can sustain our lifestyles and allow everything a chance to survive the ages. Our surroundings include the complete spectrum of all things living and the resources between them that allow ‘us all’ to live. This includes in scope our entire universe and the intricate position we have within it. Balance with nature I suppose, if we have a healthy environment then we have a healthy life. Understanding that is understanding the importance of the origin of life, I feel it is somewhat impossible to understand all this entirely. So in yhe meantime we need to do what we can to respect our fellow earthlings. There is always an achievable balance. We consider ourselves intelligent though we will allow ourselves to destroy the very things that support us. The rest of the animal kingdom seems to find balance, why are we so blind to it? . The very difference we have that allows us to overpower our surroundings and somehow place our own importance over that of our surroundings, is the same difference that allows us to take everything for granted. Quite sad really, an afternoon in the wilderness is always a refreshing reminder of what life is really about. It is for me anyway.

But what is there that you/we/I don't know that can render your/our/my current thinking a little... ...insignificant, dated or plain old wrong. My sense of Deity falls not within our human culture and our understanding of it. My feeling and sense of deity falls within my surroundings and what it is that provides me with the sustanance of life. Most religons seem to take all that for granted and is why I have no faith in them, and the nature loving faiths all seem to follow the oath of centering human beings as the primary reason for existance. If anybody can steer me in the direction of a bonafide religion, that has a central focus of respecting our ecology and trying to find balance with our surroundings, I would be certainly interested. None so far have had any sense of clarity at all. Just nonsense and ambeguity usually, I find it difficult to believe that anybody takes any of it seriously at all, for the most part. Atheism simply stating there is no deity without providing the actual rwason for this, is a lazy and arrogant approach for reasons I have already explained, multipule times. Only knowing everything that is possible to be known can make this possible to be concluded. Not really, but the fact that I leave room for anything to exist leaves room for the possibility to exist that none of what we are told is correct... I am pretty sure (99.999999999%) the earth is a sphere, I will put it thay way. So you need not use it as an example any more and we can stick to the subject of there being a possibility of a deity of some description existing. or not. What is the spark to life...? That is the question here.... As an Atheist you should be able to answer that question, or you are justr another 'faither' putting 'faith' in what other people have told you...

Thats pretty ripe coming from a Christian? While we are on the subject, what one of the many Gods that come under the umbrella of Christianity do you hold faith in? Old testies or new one? Back a hundred years ago, especially around Woodrow Wilson, what happened in this country is we took freedom and we chopped it into pieces. Ron Paul

Explain how it is possible to come to that conclusion without including 'everything' in the scope of the topic. If any room is left for any possibility of a deity to exist at all by somebody they would be by definition an agnostic and not an atheist. If you can explain how I am incorrect then I will listen, and adjust my position as I am agnostic you see. Just telling me I am wrong goes no way in substantiating your claims. Back a hundred years ago, especially around Woodrow Wilson, what happened in this country is we took freedom and we chopped it into pieces. Ron Paul

Not having been shown proof but leaving room for the possibility is an Agnostic view, not an Athiest one. You step up and tell me my premise is ridiculous then try to lure me into some tangent.. Why not explain how my premise is ridiculous. You can start by explaining how you came to the conclusion that there is no possibility for a deity to exist. That is the claim of an atheist... isn't it? Back a hundred years ago, especially around Woodrow Wilson, what happened in this country is we took freedom and we chopped it into pieces. Ron Paul

Atheism requires faith. Faith that you have considered everything that will rule out every possibility of a chance of any deity existing. therefore Atheism is faith based, but unlike the other religions, that faith is self centred. Rather than having faith in someone/something else Back a hundred years ago, especially around Woodrow Wilson, what happened in this country is we took freedom and we chopped it into pieces. Ron Paul

I was actually laughing at the pun that made reference to Jesus... I believe the possibility of the world being flat is much, much less likely than the probability of it being spherical. Spheres are all too common in nature, so it is too easy to come up with that conclusion. Quantum physics however will throw a spanner in the works of any thing that seems like common sense, Example; http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1998/02/980227055013.htm See your thoughts are tainted too much by the drivel if Christianity and other human based religions. The mere fact that your heart beats and your cells divide are evidence of something quite astounding. Everything is evidence of something that created it, I just don’t see us humans as being the center of that. Maybe we are, maybe we aren’t. A closed mind will never know anything other than what they open their minds to. Maybe we just aren’t supposed to know. I’m cool with that too. Back a hundred years ago, especially around Woodrow Wilson, what happened in this country is we took freedom and we chopped it into pieces. Ron Paul

That is an agnostic position. It seems many self proclaimed atheists are actually agnostics. Or everything could be evidence... Back a hundred years ago, especially around Woodrow Wilson, what happened in this country is we took freedom and we chopped it into pieces. Ron Paul

What conclusions? Sant Clause is just Like jesus in My mind... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nicholas Like jesus, the chinese whispers over the centuries have skewed the reality of his existance and the result is a false and misleading representation of the person that most likely existed. Just because you don't beleive in The Wal Mart Santa clause. That does not mean that St nicolas > Sinterklaas > santa clause is not based on the existance of a real human being. Much the same as Jesus Christ. When you say; “any of them”, I too do not believe in the deities that have been presented to me either based on my given knowledge or apparent knowledge of how things work. That is not to say that there isn’t a deity that exists that is not yet discovered by humans. Remember, we know less than what we don’t know. To say that something needs to prove itself to you before it has a chance of existing is quite nonsensical really. Humans' most vital mistake from what I have observed is our ability to assume that we are the center of everything. Back a hundred years ago, especially around Woodrow Wilson, what happened in this country is we took freedom and we chopped it into pieces. Ron Paul

Jeeez no.LOL I believe that we know a lot less than what we don’t know. That is a difficult concept for many to grasp. For that reason alone we can never be completely certain of anything. I believe the earth is a sphere as it is the most likely conclusion. I don't rule out the possibility, however minute, that we all could be completely wrong. Back a hundred years ago, especially around Woodrow Wilson, what happened in this country is we took freedom and we chopped it into pieces. Ron Paul

Rephrase; Atheists believe they know everything about any possible deities as there is no other possible way to come to the conclusion that there is not any. Make sense now...? How did you come to the conclusion that any possibility of a Deity of any discription is impossible? You would have to know everything to know that, there is too much that you do not know for you to be that certain. Back a hundred years ago, especially around Woodrow Wilson, what happened in this country is we took freedom and we chopped it into pieces. Ron Paul

Every Atheist claims to know everything about religion, otherwise they would not be so certain there is no Deity of 'ANY' description. How else can you come to that conclusion? As an agnostic I am not entirely certain about anything and don't feel the need to be. You appear to feel the need to be certain. I believe the earth is spherical due to the images that have been shown to me, there are also a great number of other examples to suggest the earth is a sphere, in a solar system orbiting the sun. There are also as many unknown possibilities that can change all that. A fish in water seems larger than it is in air. And a different shape depending on the angle… What appears is not always tangible; a hologram is a good example of this. What we don’t know effects what we believe we know, infinitely. Quantum physics (along with other non mainstream subjects) will throw a spanner in the works of what most people consider 'normal thinking' or what we perceive as reality. Only a closed minded individual will eliminate the possibility of something unknown to exist... Atheists fall into that definition. Back a hundred years ago, especially around Woodrow Wilson, what happened in this country is we took freedom and we chopped it into pieces. Ron Paul

Here is a more humorous explanation of you stance... If atheists are correct, then they are aware of everything that can be known… You will find all sorts of explanations across the internet, not all of them can be correct, and all of them are opinions of human beings. I lost interest in looking as most to the contrary were Christian nut cases… it is definitely a debateable subject. At the end of the day, to claim one is an atheist, one has to determine that ALL other religions are incorrect, and that there is nothing more to life than coincidence. It is easy to jump to that conclusion, explaining it is not so easy. It is impossible to know everything, so therefore everything we know could be rendered incorrect by one contributing attribute currently unknown to you or your comrades. Just like the Flat Earthers in the past, or the slave owners, a simple shift in reasoning and understanding can render what was commonly known as truth as false. I strongly dismiss the religions presented to me thus far also, but I do not claim to know everything. Therefore I am Agnostic. Claiming to know everything is ignorance in its purest form and that is what Atheists claim. Try explaining yourself out of that one... How can you be sure there is not more to life than coincidence when you do not know everything, or do you believe you know everything?
