American Idols Punters - 1 Bet

Scotty, after Sasky's confident mail, i actually did mean "LAY" Casey><

Apologies to Saksy and the faith en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_Jew...control_of_the_media - It seems a debate for another forum

Forget what religion he is - he is the most talented ARTIST on the show. Youth culture at the moment is very much centred around the Seth Rogans Casey Abrams of this world and there is absolutely nil wrong with that.

I couldn't take two bananas to a banana at the moment but will gladly take 100/5000 if you are offering Sasky

Go Casey!

This American Idols seems popular, you guys already on the 3rd page....:

Al, can you please qualify your statement of "American media is owned by American Jewish community"? To think that a group of people, who make up 1.5% of America's 300 million population, can have this type of influence is at best complete and utter nonsense.

This gross generalization is the type of garbage that has lead to Jews being the scapegoat for the worlds problems for hundreds if not thousands of years. Making such an outlandish statement and then saying it's all merely an observation does not paint a good picture of your intelligence and understanding about what Antisemitism is about and has meant for the Jewish people, never mind the ownership of American media which you obviously have little idea about.

I'm not accusing you of anything sinister and I have no doubt you are not bigoted in any way, but making such a comment will obviously illicit a response like the one I'm giving. Please refrain from making comments like this in future. Rather do your research, think things through in a balanced way and then form a view.

Even if this was true, which it palpably isn't, what has this got to with anything? .

And another thing I'm not sure what you meant by "authodox Jewish mould", I've never heard of "authodox" Judaism, did you mean "orthodox"?

Error corrected

The media can win an election for a political candidate. In each of these shows there are defining moments which lead to an eventual winner. Media has control over what they show and do not show and therefore can influence a result. Another observation on American TV, and I will leave it open ended so as not to not offend any further, but how many actors as part of the script, say I am a christian, Muslim? Perhaps my views are distorted by American TV which portrays people of the Jewish faith as being owners of the Media - Case in point a TV show called Californication. There are many others.

Where this is going is not really a debate for this thread or site really. I did search : "Do Jewish people control American media" and the results, according to sources on the www say they do. I am not prepared to paste links as most of these links clearly have anti semitic tendencies and I now understand where you are coming from. If the facts bar the bullshit are correct then ownership falls in the hands of the very small group of a certain faith.

To put my intelligence on trial is probably a natural reaction to taking offence.I accept that. It could very well be that my opinion is formed by the very same American TV shows that are or are not owned by people of a certain faith. I certainly never claimed to be an expert on the media or the Jewish faith and in fact have never bothered to research it until now. It had to come from somewhere though.

To answer your question: Saksy apologies for offending you but I was trying to put a different meaningless angle on it like we all do when we are taking a bet. Going for horse 5 because its the day of my birthday.

Another General Comment - I am always suprised by how only part of a thread or post is ever read and the rest goes ignored. No one reads back further than the post above the response
