A nice day overall.
Oh, happy day. I've managed to borrow .hack//Infection for the PS2 from a friend, so as soon as I'm done, I'll have a review.
So, more complaints against O'Reilly...
As I said, I watched his show, The O'Reilly Factor last night, and I almost wanted to shoot myself. Yet again, Bill proved his overall hypocrisy. When "debating" whether or not the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay deserve the same judicial rights as you and I. So, what does Bill do? He starts yelling "No! You're wrong! You're WRONG!" at John Flannery, the hilarious-looking man whose views opposed O'Reilly's. So much for unbiased, neutral reporting...
But, in truth, Mr. O'Reilly (who almost had an aneurysm) brings up an interesting subject: Should the Guantanamo prisoners receive the same judicial rights that regular citizens receive? Bill says no, that a military tribunal would suffice, and that they "don't deserve the same rights as me". He also said that he'd just convict them anyways. Thankfully, Bill's not also a judge...
Regarding the military tribunal, Mr. Flannery brought up a good point: The prisoners wouldn't stand a chance. The tribunal would be hand-picked by the President (or other ranking members of the administration), basically ensuring that the terrorists wouldn't receive any opportunity.
My opinion? I think O'Reilly is being his typical jingoistic, hypocritical self. Just because they're terrorists doesn't mean that they don't deserve the same basic rights. I concede that, yes, they deserve to be convicted. But, for the love of a random deity, we don't have to lower and degrade ourselves just to exact vengeance on them!
But hey, that's just my opinion. An opinion that is apparently un-American, as being even remotely liberal automatically brands me as a "queer commie socialist tree-hugger". At least, that's what the hatemail says at O'Reilly-Sucks.com. I'd post more, but I've got a lot of stuff to do. Aloha, and whatnot.
