Bias wouldn't lead you to thinking a guy won a debate that he didn't ?
I haven't seen the interview yet I may watch it later or tommorow but taking it from a super nugent fan would be like me asking you how great your parents are, Or how great a driver you are.
Not that long ago here I heard about Piers losing and getting whalloped in a debate with Alex Jones and when I watched it it wasn't the case at all, Alex Jones could have written a book on how to lose A debate but according to guys around here (super bias guys) he did great, Forgive me if I am skeptical please.

Have you taken any debate classes in High school or university ?
Alex Jones lost that debate so bad it was embaressing, He raised his voice, He mocked his host, He made fun of his accent, He went off on a conspiracy theory about 9/11 besides Alex Jones and his immediate family nobody should have thought he won that debate.
Sure I have bias everybody does, The trick is to a acknowledge it and try to look at things logically not emotionally.

What was ur school grade?
Raising ur voice, mocking, making fun, etc.... have nothing to do w/ winning or losing.
And Piers does the same thing...he bullies his guests and cuts them off if its not what he wants to hear.
If u actually concentrated on the dialogue and not the attitude?....it's clear who won....well maybe not to you

Nope , I was simply pointing out that you , like most people likely have biases . I am sure you are a very smart feller though and I would be no match for a a guy like you in a debate (or as they are known online I pizzin contest)

You read something that isn't and wasn't there, If you read it again you may get that I was using your opinion of your own parents as an example of bias, Bias being the subject of the minute and me using it as an example, No mal intent was used toward your parents in any ways, I may suggest you get a thicker skin if you are going to hang around here.

OK...I did a re read and I get ur point.
No insult taken...my appologies.
Maybe use a lil better sentence structure.....not run on sentences.
I do know meaning can get out of context when txting/typing.
And maybe I rush read it....

No problem.
Things do get misinterperated without tone of voice and facial expression.

Pop culture:
Don't you love it?
You do not have to think, just follow the crowd. 
One question for you pop culture folks. When Oprah was in Ednomton did she make any mention about the Amber Valley Folks?

He has come to the US to "educate" N America. Today he questioned why the winer of a Super Bowl is called a world champion if only the american teams are taking part in it. One of the viewers asked him to send a team from England for a challenge, the other one has hoped that over a 100 thousand signature petition to expel him from the US will work.

The World Series is played between American teams and one Canadian team, At the Olympics it's clear neither of these countries is the best.
100000 signatures out of 300 million people? So less than one third of one percent ? I'm sure you could get that amount for almost anybody.

He could have some good qualites, but in the platform he is in its entertainment with some information.
I actually only know about him through his exposure on the form.
He is on the air to sell product and seems to be doing well.
After reading the thread I think you know what he is.

To be honest... I'd feel sorry for anyone that was forced to converse with "the nuge" for more than a few minutes.

This is where the difference between club baseball vs international is. For our big specatator sports, we pay the best and get the best athletes. Any club team in the world could challenge the league champion in MLB (or NFL, NBA, NHL ) and we all know what the outcome would be. Any team in the NFL would walk through a team of CFL all stars, perhaps only the KHL elite could compete in the NHL, and who really rivals the NBA?

Generally speaking, I don't usually agree with your points of view particularly because to me you don't seem to have established beliefs. It seems like you tend to wiggle around in the middle somewhere unclear about just what to think one way or the other. However, this quote is fantastic. Seemingly, your recognition of Ted Nugent's contributions speaks volumes. Great post!

I watched it to remind me why I don't watch CNN. More info-tainment than actual news magazine. Poorly produced, mostly people talking at and over each other in sound bites. No serious debate and in a rushed format.
I wish I could get that 40 minutes of my life back.
