You see this it what scares me about that thing. It's like a haze thrown up to prevent people looking at the world and going, "What the FUCK is going on?". Even when we're not talking about massive and rampant travesties of journalism and of the Truth (as in the article linked above), it's still packed full of insidious little lies and decoys to prevent you looking at your own situation and doing something about it: "Tits! Celebrity shite! Football! Want to learn about anything that actually affects your own, real life? Nah fuck that... more tits!"
(It upsets me that he's kind of done this to the Times as well, albeit to a lesser degree; still, it has a LOT of sports coverage and a surprising amount of celebrity nonsense and not that much actual News.)
The only time the Sun contain anything approaching news is when they're covering Europe. Even then what they write is pretty much bullshit, to a fairly staggering degree actually. A lot of the most famous bits of controversial European intrusiveness in our life were made up by the Sun and believed by it's readers. For example that thing about curvy bananas being outlawed... never happened. (The proof? Go into your kitchen. Look at a banana. Is it curved?) It was never even a serious proposal. Made up by the Sun.
Murdoch hates Europe because he cannot get into the European media market. The German and Italian companies are too strong. He's also terrified of them getting in on the British market. He doesn't want any European integration that will threaten that. So you will never see a pro-European story in any media outlet owned by Murdoch (The Sun, News of the World, the Times, Sky News, etc). He relentlessly denigrates any politician who supports Europe or the sort of ownership laws that are currently preventing him from buying Channel 4 (he keeps trying, he's not allowed, and he's really angry about it!), and supports whichever party promises to do the most to further his interests.
Fine, once you know that you're seeing the world through tinted spectacles you can start to take what people are telling you with the appropriate amount of salt, but a lot of people read that and think they're getting a balanced and fair picture. That's why it's important to read a variety of outlets - they all (including the Guardian) will try to spin a certain angle. With the possible exception of the BBC, which is legally obliged to try to be as balanced as possible, and is really closely scrutinised for it.
Well anyway I'm not that fond of The Sun. I'll give it a rest now.

But a person on a lunch break from a tedious job maybe a factory building a wall, or driving a lorry doesn't want to read any 'real' news his or her life is real enough for him or her a lot of the time. They want to read about what the Sun has to say. Its satisfying to a lot it and produces enough stimulation to keep it's readers coming back for more. They want bytes they can chew between meals, not bytes that are hard to swallow.
Wall street or Europe or Zimbabwe or Pakistan or Afghanistan or govt elections or prime ministers question time or pollution or enrichment plants in Iran or S Korea are about as far from a lot of peoples minds as is flying to the f*cking moon.
We are much more interested in knowing about that 36 year old millionaire playboy bastard who knocked over an 83 year old grandmother of twenty six of which dear little AmyLou has a heart defect, in his convertible super sports car doing a homicidal 54 mph in a 30 zone. Rather than a 36 year old man knocked down an 86 year old woman whilst speeding.
Lets be real. If youve got 20 minutes to eat your sarnie and be back at your workstation. Your hardly going to want to know that the economy of Uzbekistan experienced growth significantly above trend over 2006–2007. GDP grew by 7.7% and 7.0% according to official estimates, as against an average of 4.2% in 1999–2005. Agriculture’s contribution was helped by a record cotton crop.
It is also wrong to assume that 4 million readers of the Sun are not literate/intelligent or have enough wit to make up their own minds. they read for their own reasons. Mainly i assume for the entertainment which they gain from it. Rightly or wrongly in your honest opinions but thats the truth of selling the Sun in Britain to 4 million people

Hang on a minute... that Winchie has the cheek to be walking around at the moment with a sig suggesting that she did nothing to 'gain an alternative name' as a consequence of her actions.
Was I sorely mistaken when my otherwise harmless attempts to warm an evening cocoa were turned instantly into blazing conflagration in an instant, risking life and possetions of all....
.... with her attempting to beat the flames with a frying-pan?
there's a name in there... surely?

its definately a state of mind.
this is personally what i feel and i am in no way saying this is the difinitive.
The sexual act.....
I have always disconected sex from love. To me it has always been an act, sometimes i would say its a hobby.
When trying to explain this to people i would say its like anyone who may like fishing, golf, etc. Its an activity that i enjoy, sometimes as a spectator, sometimes as i participant. Maybe with couple, singles, groups etc.
I wouldnt feel jelous if with a partner and he was swinging, just as i wouldnt be if he was playing golf with someone other than me.
socially.....
I like to be friends with people i swing with. I like conversation, fun, sharing outlooks and hopefully enriching someones day and the same in return.
I dont always swing with everyone whos a swinger that i socially meet.
I dont see the chat rooms as an avenue to arrange a sexual meet, but more to chat with people about anything, but to know im in an enviroment that is accepting of my hobby.
mentally....
im a swinger, this isnt for me something that im exploring while im single, it isnt because i hate men or have been hurt and cant have a relationship, it isnt a ploy to sucker a guy in and then go cold.
i have met men, some on here who are single swingers, but when/ if it starts turing into more they have expected me to stop swinging.... I cant i am a swinger.
I dont like it when some people think nsa sex means a quick chat arrange a meet , fuck and leave. for me i need to know the person a bit, personality is more important than looks when it comes to exchanging in my hobby woth another person.
i know in my head im a swinger, if those who think swingers can only be couples, then thats a throw back from the old wife swap days.
i hope that makes some sense, and it was in no way a dig at anyone elses take on swinging

you played a blinder, a brilliant weekend which i thoroughly enjoyed, though next time you buy modeling balloons make sure it doesn't say UNINFLATABLE on the pack, watching grown men cry (with laughter) is not a pretty sight.
hwoar: top effort :thumbup:
