The same magazine that has put Obama on the cover 7 times in the past 18 months, as opposed to McCains 2 times? That objective Time magazine?

Once you correct the link, you will find that it is an editorial written by two college students. Hardly "objectibe" at all. . .

I'm a college student. Would you like to explain why I can't be objective?

...

Whether or not you are objective is not the point. The point is that the article linked was an opinion piece and not a report. The college student part was with regard to their expertise on the subject. Thanks for making my case.

If that was your point or "case" you should have said so in the first place. Nice reversal.

...

Uh, I did say so in the first place. Or do you not understand the term "editorial"?

Here's the corrected link to the first page of the article

Oil speculators and oil companies will continue to profit while we still depend on oil.  It took years to get into this situation and will take even longer to cure it.

Now, I may have misunderstood the intent of your first post but everything that you post is vague to say the least. What does being a college student have with being objective? I just posted the definition so we can't argue the meaning of it. Do you mean to discredit the editorial because it was written by college students? If not, why mention that it was written by college students? That was all I was asking. An honest question doesn't deserve to have a barb attached to its response.

Now, you mention their lack of expertise. Not all college students are inexperienced kids that are fresh out of highschool. I, for example, have been out of highschool for nearly 20 years. Over half of that time I spent at a power boat company. If I decided to write an editorial about the application of fiberglass weaves and their numerous uses in the construction of modern power boats, would you discredit my expertise because I'm just a college student and couldn't possibly know what the hell I'm talking about? Or would you consider that it's a possibility that I may have been an intern at a company that deals with this subject, I may be highly educated in that field and wrote the editorial as part of my college requirements or, better yet, I spent 10 1/2 years dealing with the subject that I'm commenting about and circumstances have changed, allowing me to attend college in my mid-late 30's?

I'll be honest, I didn't even read the article. It could be a steaming pile of shit as far as I know. I just seen your comments and wanted to argue about semantics.

...

Sigh. It was an efficiency of words. Something you need to get a grasp on. I "just seen" (sic) what you wrote.

Yes, as objective as the website (Drudge Report) where you found out about Obama being on the Time Magazine cover.

I realize this is a total thread hijack, but good for you on pursuing a degree. Keep at it and finish your degree. I was 31 years old when I finished my bachelor's (a business administration degree from Kutztown University). I can honestly say that going back to school and getting a degree was probably the best thing I ever did. I worked full-time the whole way through, but it was worth it in the end.

Of course, the advantage of a business degree is that I actually understand those WRG financial statements and know when people that don't understand them are trying to BS the rest of the board. LOL

I wish I would have went to college when I was 18-19 years old instead of just going to the races 90 nights a year, but I wasn't mature enough at that age to put forth an honest effort. I am sure I would have wasted a lot of my parents' money had I gone to college at age 18.

It is not that hard to figure out why the oil prices are so high. But I will try to help some of you understand...

If Hoosier tires were made in, say.........Iceland. And one day, if for no reason, Iceland was attacked and occupied. It would cause such great unstability there with all of the disruption that it would be harder to get tires, so the cost of those tires would go up.

Now, re-write the above paragraph and insert "Oil" in place of "Hoosier". And then insert "Iraq" in place of Iceland and you'll have an idea on why the cost of oil has gone through the roof.

Just be thankful that Hoosier and All pro aren't headquartered in Iraq, or sprints would be in trouble.

i know i shouldn't, but here goes. since when did the worlds oil supply come from iraq? to my knowlage, iraq has not been a major supplier of oil to the world market for some time. the price of oil started going up 30 years ago. demand for oil has gone up and up. if iceland had all the hoosiers and everyone in the world wanted them, they would keep raising the price as much as they thought they could. also iraq was not attacked for no reason. and in case you forgot or just choose to ignore it, russia, germany, france and possibly north korea and china were trying to back door not only the US, but the rest of the world with saddam. the united nations was running the biggest money scam the world has seen through saddam. there was a lot more going on over there than short sighted and narrow thinking poeple chose to acknowlage. just be thankfull we have US military headquartered in iraq or we would all be in trouble and where hoosiers are made would be of no concern.

Facts are facts my man. I know thats a hard concept for some.

Jeff Kristensen

And don't forget to add in the U.S. politicians!

Do you mean concise? Fair enough. As long as you understand that being vague and concise don't go hand in hand.

...

the currentl sensitivity of liberals is directly proportional to the DROP IN THE POLLS by boy wonder Obama...and if Biden is supposed to be the life boat, we will see these poor vermin setting their hair on fire as the meltdown of the media star hastens.

rappers like to rhyme...where is the beat?

Drudge highlights newsworthy headlines from MANY sources...the liberal press remains DWARFED by his hit count and continue to CUT JOBS of the vermin scum they deploy to write HIT PIECES for the failed agenda. NYT / LAT / WASHPOST = all trending downward with massive budget cuts / lay offs.

maybe Obama will TAX people who refuse to by this cat pan liner to keep these bums in a job?
