To: Tenchusatsu who wrote (213378 ) 12/14/2004 4:11:48 PM From: Amy J Read Replies (1) | Respond to of 1578510 Tenchusatsu, returning the favor, here are some of your mistakes: Mistake #1: you spend a lot of time and many posts on protecting 3000 people that think God material is more than mentally handicapped people as evident by the fact the newstation carried that story rather than the other more important story for their readers. You never addressed whether you think the newstation is wrong in judging their audience, because that would be the only valid theory to support the 3000 callers. Mistake #2: you spend a lot of time protecting FoxNews, when the real point soars over your head, which says a lot about you actually, about what you think is important: Fox News or the mentally retarded? Does it matter which network. One story said Fox News carried the TV broadcast, whether this story is accurate or not, doesn't remove the point that any station that carries it but not the other, says volumes about their audience. Shouldn't the mentally retarded matter more than this? Mistake #3: you don't care about the mentally retarded. You spend more time protecting Fox news, then you do the mentally retarded child in your posts. If you did care, you would be applying energy in all of your posts saying, "isn't that ridiculous that people would think God material is more important than the mentally retarded, I mean how absolutely unreligous and cold." "I am so amazed." Regarding your points, RE: "Mistake #1: You are assuming that those 3,000 people only watch FOXNews" Your mistake is that you think you know I'm making an assumption. An article stated it was a Fox News TV Broadcast. I have no reason to disbelieve this article. Since when does google provide Fox TV Broadcasts in video? It doesn't. That's an error in your assumption, not mine. RE: " Mistake #2: You are assuming that FOXNews is the only national news outlet ignoring the story of the mentally retarded child." Your mistake is you assume the article I read specified other news networks, when it didn't. It was Fox. If it had been a different network, I would have specified. But it wasn't. RE: "Mistake #3: You are assuming that anyone who doesn't call the school about the abused child must be an uncaring bastard." Your mistake is that you incorrectly assume Networks broadcasts what Fox wants to always broadcasts, rather than what their audience wants. You still refuse to answer why Fox broadcasted the God story, rather than the mentally retarded story? If it makes you prickly to read "Fox" then insert the word "newstation" so you can get a move onto the real point here, which you keep missing (which could tell me something about your priorities.) RE: "Mistake #4: You are assuming that anyone who does call the school about "God material" only cares about that issue and not about issues of true human suffering." Your mistake here again is that you think the Newstations don't accurately guess and reflect their audience, yet you refuse to address this point. RE: "Mistake #5: You called me the "hypocrite."" Where did I do that? Like I said, when I talk about the 3000 people, I'm talking about them. Not you. If however you do something that's hypocritical, then I'll ask and call you on it. But I think you need to separate yourself from criticism directed at religious people that are hypocrits. Not every religious person is, but those that are deserve your encouragement not to be that way. On a different note, do a google search for cupertino high school, get the phone # and leave a message that says, "I'm ultra religious and I'm disgusted by how your school let a teacher smash the head of a mentally retarded child. And if you think the God material is more important than the mentally retarded child, that says volumes about your school." Do it, maybe you'll even get on TV for being the one religious caller expressing concern about the mentally retarded child. You could also suggest, as I have already done, "You need to get videos in the school, so parents can ensure their children are protected." Regards, Amy J
