 BF> Still, why haven't they said anything about the killing
 BF> of an Englishman in Iraq?
 BF> When they showed that on BBC they said that it wasn't
 BF> going to be shown in
 BF> North America. Why is that censored in USA?

No.... Simple... I lived in the US for past 6 years... I moved back to Canada
in the past few months, I am a citizen of both countries.  Anyway, news is
local.  The US reports, mAinly, US news and Canada does the same.... it reports
"MAINLY" Canadian news.  This is the first time I have heard of the Englishman
getting killed and I watch both US and CDN news.  There has been little to no
news coverage of said person being covered on any of the news outlets here in
North America... It has nothing to do with Fox news and everything to do with
what pays the news companies bills... I'm also sure the US news companies are
busy with their Bush bashing and also talking about the thousands of US service
people who have given their lives, or limbs, for people who don't desire
freedom as much as we do, here in North America anyway.

No censorship here in Canada or the US... just local news.



 BF> Another thing that shows how double standard works with
 BF> some in USA is the
 BF> thing with cell phones in schools.
 BF> They are not allowed but a teacher says that they are
 BF> good to have to
 BF> vidoetape the teachers when they are out of order.
 BF> Have can't have heard of Catch 22.

Are you on crack... The kids are cheating with their cell phones... They are
text-messaging each other with test results and what not.  Kids need to focus
on their studies in schools not what their buddies are doing in the bathroom...
 Most teachers don't get out of hand... and if parents really want to know what
is going on in the classroom  they can have the school board setup something to
tape the class.  This was the teacher can protect themselves against some of
the kids now a days.  There is no catch 22... there are about a million ways to
get to the truth. Letting kids run wild with cell phone disrupting class and
cheating with them is not a good idea.
