Anyone watching Despatcheson channel 4 now?

[MrBen5]

Its real interesting. i would like to hear your views after the programme.
Dont bother if you havent watched the programme (china doll, women, etc)

[China Doll]

You're getting vaguely creepy now...

[Gromit]

The phrase:

"but i do have proof on tv :) "

Made me chuckle. Could have been straight out of Homer Simpson's mouth. Bless.

I didn't see the programme either.

[China Doll]

Not seeing something or reading something doesn't generally stop some people commenting on it on here Gromit so I'm disapointed that you couldn't come up with anything. Frankly I find your attitude today lazy....

(Obviously I'm not allowed to comment).

[Gromit]

Very well then

Here is a link to the Dispatches Forum...

It doesn't seem to been getting favourable comment.

[MrBen5]

Oh good Lord!!!

There are thousands of web pages, books and Daily Mail articles which support your point of view.

Do you really think that I would avoid a television programme because it 'destroys' my argument.

Pray tell - what argument are you referring to? The one that suggests that the vast, vast, vast, vast majority of Muslims in this country are pretty much like you and me?

A single television programme isn't going to sway my opinion on the matter.

Documentaries are documentaries...notdocumentation.

There's a world of difference.

[MrBen5]

Hmmm, so documentaries are not fact are they not?
Okaaaay. i think i understand how you think now...

[Gromit]

Channel 4 bosses are in trouble about the prog now

Whoa there.

If documentaries are 'fact', then how can two documentaries offer contradictory arguments?

Are Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth' and Channel 4's 'The Great Global Warming Swindle' both 'fact' even though one utterly disagrees with the other?

What about party political broadcasts from two opposing parties?

What about John Sweeney's Panorama documentary 'Scientology & Me' which was then followed by a critical 'response' documentary from the Scientologists?

How about the BBC's documentary on 9/11? And then 'Loose Change', the documentary film that argued it was all a big conspiracy? You can happily go along with them both can you?

They're all documentaries. It's how you interpret them that matters isn't it? Or do you believe literally every documentary you see?

[China Doll]

He's on a wind up NJOK.

Can't believe anyone is as foolish as MrBen so must be a wind up.

And since I'm not allowed to make any sensible comment on this thread and it's a load of old balls anyway (imho)... Does anyone know anything about Setanta?

Ta!

[MrBen5]

Hmmm, i think the biggest wind up here is china doll thinking of subscribing to a sports channel.
I think my question is valid. The only reason you dont like it is because it doesnt fit your usual 'easy' answerable' questions you like to post on.
Prove me wrong china doll and answer my question.
How come they can preach hate against the west and England yet if it was the other way round there would be uproar?
Please dont come with your usual rubbish about it not being true or no link as they are both provided.
Show me that women can contribute to the news section...

[China Doll]

I couldn't possibly Mr Ben. You have specifically asked me not to comment.

China Doll

I agree re vaguely creepy. Not sure I understand any other the other posts on this thread, as they are too complicated for us.

[China Doll]

I've gone from 'vaguely' to 'definitely' now Ruby!
