    Knowing and understanding the other side of the coin is always the answer. If you disagree with something he says, it's not always bad.
    Sometimes, it may have to do with the living environment that you (the person making the disagreement, not you particularly) are within. Your environment means a lot in what ideas are had.

    I'm the same... though at least it gives you something to chew on to either concrete your thoughts, or give you new situations to add into the mix.

    Nah, Stewart presents proof in a joking manner and let's you make a decision. He doesn't deride you for what you believe, and try to demean you with slow calculated "you just need it drawn on the board to get it" characteristics. That's condescending.

    Even if what Beck says is true, it'd still be twisted.

    The most sad thing is that you'd have to push super-hard to get most of the news non-distorted.
    There were quite a few times I'd recieved news though most of the ordinary channels (cnn, nbc, abc, cbs, not fox, newspapers, etc) and watched Jon Stewart and got documented facts, with video of it, and even the opposite side :) It was a comedy, but it was only a comedy in those situations because of the absurdity.

    Like I have said for 8 years when Bush was in office... comedians can just record and play what's happening for a laugh.

    You've covered basically "anti-war".
    When it comes to what is being talked about, the real problem was Al-Qaeda and they were in Afghanistan (mostly). America was aiming there but hit Iraq accidentally. I think it was a misdirection, but it was fixed ;) (I kid, but you get the idea)

    If you watch Colbert report or anything Colbert does as a serious word-for-word documentary of his thoughts, you've lost the whole point.
    He's intentionally charactered as a severe right-wing republican who would be the destruction America if people thought like him. The character was created BECAUSE there are people like that, and it sets a new light to it to give people a laugh... or even shame and ridicule someone into a smarter decision. The later I don't see happening since most of those have no conscience and are hellbent on their own ideologies.

    Saying that is like saying that Obama killed 52 people in 2009. (52 people were executed by different states in 2009 citation: http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/executions-united-states-2009 )

    See, that number your tossing around was performed by Los Angeles, and it was 7.76 jobs. http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_upshot/20100917/bs_yblog_upshot/report-los-angeles-spent-70-million-in-stimulus-funds-to-create-7-76-jobs

    GPS and dish tv satellites are geosynchronous, so they stay in the same spot at all times.
    Since we know where they are in the 3 dimensional space, we can easily triangulate. It's hard to have a plane be in that exact of an airspace.

    I can attest to that from the 12,000 feet skydives, as well.

    OR like the projects that I created and FINISHED, they are done and there for people to either extend into new things or as a repo for it.

    Projects don't keep changing, if the ultimate goal is achieved.
    Windows is a prime example of that, or anything Microsoft makes nowadays. If they made horses, it'd have 3 tails, 2 noses and a license for every time you wanted to ride it, after you bought it.
