One layer in the problem useful to understand is a group behavior. For example vendetta in some European countries: one has to kill as it is a community norm and the consequences for him will be very negative if he does not. He will be thrown out of the community. People who spread disinformation and deception represent actually a group. When Obama speaks he does not represent his own opinion or truth, the same with political commentators and comedians. Politicians mostly do not lie; they just are not telling the truth. They are chosen and paid for not telling the truth or express their personal stand. They are paid to say certain things, and they are well aware of it. As soon as they commit offense and tell as things are, they will be not chosen for a job any more. In some cases taking certain position and hammering it (e.g. Ann Coulter) just makes you a lot of money. It is an ethics issue for sure, but when being unethical pays well most people fall. Colbert is no exception, he spins the facts according to his masters agenda. So, the point is, the society is structured and divided based on different combinations of lies and deceptions. It is a norm. Everybody who wants a public job needs to choose, calculate his chances and join the pack.

As far as the Pirates, out Steelers and Penguins are just so damn good, we can afford to be charitable.

tazzygirl -> RE: An ethical issue. (4/15/2011 1:56:33 PM)
I know the man would have no problem with that. The mistresses (cats) may be another story.

Hillwilliam -> RE: An ethical issue. (4/15/2011 1:56:57 PM)
It could be worse, she could live in Philly. For a big city, Pitt isn't bad.

slvemike4u -> RE: An ethical issue. (4/15/2011 1:57:00 PM)
Tazz that isn't an example of "charitable" that's just downright pathetic [:-]

tazzygirl -> RE: An ethical issue. (4/15/2011 1:57:35 PM)
Yet the Roonies make a whole bunch of money for the city. As well as the Pirates.

slvemike4u -> RE: An ethical issue. (4/15/2011 2:02:42 PM)
Someone should point out to Pirate ownership that they are allowed to put some of that money out on the field.....either that are petition for triple A status....'cause they aren't cutting it in "the show".

Lucylastic -> RE: An ethical issue. (4/15/2011 2:04:24 PM)

They are known for taking raw talent at cheap prices, training them, then trading them for big money. Its how they operate.

quote: ORIGINAL: joether Yeah, cus Mr. Dean has lied on the scale and depth of the average GOP/Tea Party offical or presidental hopeful? If Mr. Dean's lies were like apples, I'd have a hard time filling one barrel. For Republicans, I could go into the apple business with $10 Billion net profit a year. And thanks to them, propably keep 99.999% from taxes too... Um, no. Because Mr. Dean was "reduced to a figure of fun" after his celebration of winning a primary even though before that he was considered a strong candidate.
