Doomsday movies...?

[gsxrac]

I dont know about "doomsday" but I do believe a second civil war is inevitable at the rate we are going

If you live is Massachusets you REALLY need to watch this, if you dont, you should probably watch it anyways because it will probably spread to the rest of the country.

Fighting each other is not the solution and I hope it will be avoided.

 

[gsxrac]

I really do hope it will be avoided too but sometimes it is a necessary evil. I dont know how anybody could consciously let a bill pass that would enable all of that mayhem.

Because only a small (but growing) percentage of the population watches Fox News, or pays any attention to Nanny-State actions that are being passed. They don't realize how limited their news access sources really is. I have asked a dozen people I know in MA if they knew about this, and none of them did. None of them watch Fox News either. They think John Kerry is a good U.S. Senator.

Here's a good doomsday movie, long but good:

"A Boy And His Dog" is a fun family movie.

HA!

I rented it to watch with my girlfriend and her mom. They are animal lovers.
I'd read the (much, much better) short story and knew how it ended.
Towards the end I was being threatened with death and dismemberment. They were so upset that they didn't notice the smug smile on my face.
When it was over they loved the ending.

 

[ElectronGuru]

HA!

Man, I've been here to long.
I took one look at that and said "hard anodized" :lolsign:

 

[rutherdbrown]

That's actually true. Most of my friends have started watching such movies and reading books. And they scare people by informing them. I dont know about doomsday will come or not but i am really enjoying the scene here...

As with any such "News", especially from Fox it can be hard to find the truth.

If you actually read what the new section replaces you find that the replacement does a couple things.
1. It *LIMITS* what can be done and explains under what conditions it can happen.
The old section allowed the governer to do anything he or she thought was needed.

CHAPTER 17. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH

Chapter 17: Section 2A. Powers of commissioner upon declaration of emergency

Section 2A. Upon declaration by the governor that an emergency exists which is detrimental to the public health, the commissioner may, with the approval of the governor and the public health council, during such period of emergency, take such action and incur such liabilities as he may deem necessary to assure the maintenance of public health and the prevention of disease.

The commissioner, with the approval of the public health council, may establish procedures to be followed during such emergency to insure the continuation of essential public health services and the enforcement of the same.

Upon declaration by the governor that such emergency has terminated, all powers granted to and exercised by the commissioner under this section shall terminate.

I wish fewer people did watch Fox "News" or at least compare it withy what the rest of the world says.

I used to watch other news channels to get a balanced perspective until they started calling me a racist, calling people who protest huge government spending "astroturf", and labeling people like me who care about the future of my country as rightwing, gun toting, extremist terrorists who need to be controlled. If you think that the left wing nuts in the news media offer a balanced perspective, consider the fact that NBC is owned by General Electric who has the contracts in place for the upcoming smart grid and will have influence on the cap and trade legislation. They're the last place I'm going to look for the truth. If I have the sudden urge to see propaganda instead of news that tells the truth, maybe then I'll turn back to NBC. Until then, I'll watch Fox News and seek out the truth on the internet. I know the truth when I hear it, and if I can't find it from the main stream media, I'll seek it out through other sources like the internet, newspapers, and through people I trust.

More accurately, starting with Fox you will find out about issues that are otherwise being hidden or not covered.

A number of reliable polls have established that mainstream news (ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/PBS/MTV/BBC/most newspapers/Time/Newsweek/etc.) staff are self-avowed liberals, and don't see their own liberal bias in their presentations. This conflicts with the fact that only 20-25% of Americans consider themselves to be a liberal.

You would never have found the source of the August/September public "tea" protests, or understand the depth and intensity of their feelings without Fox News. You would have been totally surprised to hear the correlating oppositional poll numbers to the health care insurance debate.

Interesting to note the changes occurred after the news clip gsxrac listed above was aired on Fox. Coincidence? Was it previously publicized in the mainstream?

I wish fewer people did watch Fox "News" or at least compare it with what the rest of the world says.

Oh so there is a spurious Fox News presentation, and then the "truth" of what the rest of the world says? You do realize the difference between the hard news segments on Fox, and the opinionated commentary shows (Beck, Hannity, mostly O'Reilly), right?

I wonder where the undercover videos were presented that exposed Acorn, leading to abrupt massive governmental abandonment?

Please don't assume because some of us watch some portions of Fox News that we are gulping it down mindlessly. While there were plenty of news outlets constantly going after the smallest details of the previous administration, don't you think it is crucial to always have an aggressive and adversarial watchdog relationship from the Constitutionally protected Press?

It is even more important when you have any one group with the majority of power. With rare, filibuster-proof Senatorial control, critical outlets like Fox should be praised, not pilloried. It is the final, last line of defense of a free people. I am not saying that Fox News is perfect. I agree that it leans right slightly with hard news segments, and overtly with opinion shows. There is a segment of the population that it is representing, reflected in its ratings. Giving voices to diverse groups in a representational democracy is the foundation of freedom.

 

[LightWalker]

You need to look beyond the "mainstream news (ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/PBS/MTV/BBC/most newspapers/Time/Newsweek/etc.)" to get the true news.

If you want me to watch other news stations other than Fox to find the truth, show me one other station that showed the Acorn scandal when it broke instead of avoiding the story until Congress cut off their funding about a week later. If you can't do that, then show me one news station that didn't side with Acorn after they were exposed by two watchdog citizens in their twenties. Come on, two young private citizens caught Acorn employees in five branches across the country trying to help fund prostitution, import illegal immigrant underage girls for the sex trade, give advice for tax evasion, using tax payer money to set up a whore house, and using the profits from the whore house to fund a political campaign to run for Congress. The San Diego video showed a man with the connections who was willing to smuggle the girls across the border. The San Bernadino video had a confession for premeditated murder by an Acorn employee. The entire media was given a story on a silver platter that would have made anyone's career and they all ignored it, except Fox news. If the media can't tell us the truth when the story of the decade breaks, then we're going to be in real trouble when a real disaster hits and all they think about is putting their own spin on the story instead of reporting the facts.

Slight correction...should have been: From a thread about doomsday movies to a discussion about Fox News and it's powerful credibility (& soaring ratings)...only on CPF!

Besides we needed a diversion from talking about the catastrophic end of the world which gets pretty depressing.

It won't be the end of the world but the end of the age. The King is coming to rule over the governments that have been decieved and manipulated by :devil: and will bring true peace to the Earth.

I think that if the news media is starting to cover up or ignore the real news to help their own agenda, that is a topic of discussion relating to doomsday scenarios. After all, if we aren't warned about disaster, we won't see it coming and more will die. Let's take a look at some of the stories that aren't being covered much that can result in disaster. Many of our rights are being taken away that we need to keep us safe. Massachusetts is trying to pass a law to force people to take swine flu vaccinations when they may be unsafe, as well as jail/quarantine people in their own homes against their will, and declare martial law during peace time which suspends our constitutional rights. The newest healthcare bill punishes people who don't have healthcare and don't want government healthcare with a nearly $2,000 a year fine. If they don't pay the fine, the I.R.S. hits them with a $25,000 fine and up to a year in jail and a misdemeanor on their record. The government tweaked the definition of a switchblade to include many fold up knives giving the police another excuse to arrest law abiding citizens who committed no crime. California is at it again trying to attack our gun rights by putting restrictions on ammunition and invading our privacy more by keeping a record of how many bullets we purchase and requiring employees handling ammo to get a background check. The federal government is buying up land for national preserves that can't be touched at an alarming rate. This is an abuse of eminent domain as it restricts the use of our natural resources when we need them the most. Crops can't be harvested there. Hunting isn't allowed. It can restrict water rights. Power lines for future infrastructure can't be on the land and neither can wind turbines. The land covers much of our coal and natural gas reserves. Most of the media is in bed with the government and seems to be fine with all of this. I'm not. These things will make a disaster worse and most watching the news will have no idea of the trouble coming. Some of this government intervention may actually cause a disaster by itself.

It`s boredom that makes us willing to spend our time listening to gloom and doom. An active mind would have little interest in it.

Thats why I spend all my time watching the History channel...and how the world will end....bored. They should rename the channel the Nonsense channel. Stimulating nonsense for the really bored.

That assumes a person believes any of that, or that there is an objective basis for such interpretations of stories told from "telephone tag" memory of what was said originally by "The Man" to be written down at an even later time, thereafter sifted through by a small group subsequently deciding which stories seemed to be the most popular for selection into a working guide, then more revisions and selections into various printed versions, that over thousands of years underwent many more revisions and reinterpretations that somehow seems to make sense to take literally today. 😗

Let's see...what was this topic about again?

Well, we started out with discussing doomsday movies and we ended up with a reason why Lux Luthor may be going to hell after the real thing takes place. I hope I'm wrong about that.
