Fox may well be exactly as you say, but the alternative is worse.
Who, precisely, gets to decide when a news outlet has done "enough" actual investigation? Whichever party is in power at the moment? Do you seriously think that certain stories wouldn't get "inexplicably" tangled up in red tape until a more convenient time (or forever)? And of course you'd never hear about cases where this happened (except unverifiable ramblings on some website), because any news outlet who wanted to report on news being suppressed would of course be told that he needed to do more investigation before proceeding with such a shaky story.
You're right - it's those greedy corporate bastards who insist on profiting by re-writing apps over and over, when the masses would rather have one binary that works everywhere.
Wait - that doesn't make any sense at all, does it?
Vast numbers of trees are PLANTED every year because office workers print out stuff for each other, then chuck them in the bin/recycle box.
There, fixed that for you.
Come on, people: recycling is great and all, but it's not like trees are an endangered species... They're like Doritos: print all you want, we'll plant more! Trying to "save trees" by not using paper is like trying to "save corn" by not eating as much! If you actually reduce the consumption, the producers reduce the plantings and we end up right where we started.
Besides, throwing away paper REDUCES your carbon footprint: trees absorb carbon from the air, it finds its way into paper, which we put at the bottom of the landful, thereby "sequestering" the carbon more or less indefinitely.
1) A collective goal: Mankind rarely succeeds on a scale comparable to when they have a common goal. Build hope and cooperation between nations and you can bring them closer to understanding of one another.
That sounds good and all, but where's the evidence? Has there EVER been a time when mankind had a common goal?
(OK, maybe "killing everyone else" was sort of a common goal, but that doesn't really count)

Seriously, man - you scare me!
Reality is just like a video game - except you only get one "life" (and no save/restore!)
