North Korea steps up production of nuclear bomb fuels despite US talks

False. They don't. They are shaped by their environment. That's why certain areas constantly vote in a similar way over time while equally educated people who simply lived in a different environment will vote the other way.

It's because their environment has shaped them. Emotional attachment is the antithesis of logical reason, yet it's what advertising utilizes because it's far more powerful in altering thought.

Your belief in people and how they reach conclusions is nice, but just doesn't fit the actual truth.

Shaped by, not created by. Oddly enough, educated people tend to agree on facts; what they disagree on is how to respond to them. That is why they vote differently, they have different opinions as to the right course of action. Propagandists are now trying to undermine the very possibility of factual knowledge. They do this in the mistaken belief that human beings are a tabula rasa that can can be programmed. Your understanding of psychology suggests you studied in a Marxist environment.

I disagree. They might agree on things like this is happening, but disagree on who to blame based on emotional attachment.

So it's not just saying X is happening, the news then tries to shape how people view those events, who is to blame, and what people should do about it.

Oh please. Do you really need to have it explained ?

Yeah.

Don't be so quick to show off your confirmation bias dear.

Where are the images?

And how can we validate what is claimed?

I'm skeptical because A) state propaganda was legalized and B) its simple to provide doctored satellite images.

I agree with you about having it validified.

Emotional attachment sometimes plays a role, but it is not necessarily the deciding factor. People sometimes choose sacrifice.

So it's not just saying X is happening, the news then tries to shape how people view those events, who is to blame, and what people should do about it.

You are confusing news, editorials, and propaganda.

If they go back on the agreement, it's time to start exercises back up, evacuate our military families, and stage for strikes. We're out of time. We tried diplomacy. If that didn't' work, there is but one option left.

New internet rules say they now have to ask.
Nothing is different.
I've found I can simply scroll past the request and right to the site without agreeing or not agreeing. In cases where I've been asked.
But it's a simple click to discard cookies if you do get them.
I found in the past they made a page load faster on a second visit.
On another note we're going to see advertising anyway. I'd much rather it be for things I'm interested in.

Ok.
Well.
Carry on.

Straight from the trump manual on how to bury your head in the sand.
Step 1) Declare all news agencies as charlatans.
Step 2) Deny all news reports that are negative.
Step 3) Align yourself with one network that doesn't care about any truth and proclaim them the paragons of right and might.
Step 4) Repeat as necessary.

And here come the silly post blasts.

Seems to me NK is a simple distraction from whats transpiring in the Middle East because let's face it there is about as much chance of NK launching and carrying out a successful nuclear attack on the states as there is of a white Christmas at the equator.

Easy to see who's next really, it's not rocket science. LoL

Plus most of his advanced nuke facilities lie in ruins after mountain collapsed on it with his top weapons designers.
I could have a mountain of uranium ore but with out ways to enrich it all it would be good fore as a weapon would be as a throwing rock or a projectile.

We may have to attack Iran too, but no invasion necessary.

No, I am saying that the news may be twisting things again like they have been for over a year now. Let the information come from reliable sources and I might believe it.

What do you consider to be a "reliable source?" How do you determine its reliability? What standards do you apply? Could you provide some examples?

When I hear a present head of military say something in a special report on TV I will believe his words. Not the press's interpretation of what he said though. I also question what Trump says about this matter, but I think that hopefully NK will follow through. Trump treated him as a leader of a country, I think that Kim may actually follow through this time and do good for his people. What have we got to lose, Trump only promised him lowering sanctions and stopping the war games meant to intimidate their country. We save money if we do not have those war games. The USA may actually benefit by being able to trade with NK. Win win situation if it actually works. Now if we did not give Kim a chance, then we would be in an expensive war and more countries will be at risk of a nuclear or just missile attack. How can peace be bad. Obama would not even consider meeting with Kim. If anyone had a big head it was Obama.

I also do not believe movie critics ratings of movies either, almost Every good movie I saw a critic bashed. I do not know how anyone could listen to a movie critic.

Its snowed in Cuba and the Bahamas before..

There is no glee, it’s the astonishment of how people support a self aggrandizing moron who accomplished absolutely nothing but a photo op with a murderous dictator. I guess in some twisted alternate universe (aka rwnj land) this is some sort of accomplishment. Btw has Iran tested that bomb the wing nuts told us was only months away? reply to: Flyingclaydisk
