Damn everything he says makes sense. Wish more Americans were more open-minded like this fellow.

[kakarot1234567891234]

@DemonBird2 Damn Straight my friend

[Truegeeza]

yes your absolutely right what you said there its very rare we see this kind of view today on news because there is no freedom of speech on the news just goverment progaganda. Its about time the world leaders start working towards bridging communties and working together rather than force. force creates hatred and it creates instability just like what you are seeing today. May we all work together to make a better and brighter future.

[kokoagisie]

hell yeah dude..for someone who looks like the bouncer in our bar..you make a lotta sense man...you got more brains than you look bro

[fatcarl76]

Lol, I was a bouncer for a few years :).

[aminarut]

man ur right dont listen to this stupid comments posted by idiots saying trash i really watched abc news paris going out of jail cruz going to france .... but for the war us is making progress 2 soldiers are dead and done that's all !?

[chritch23]

No dumbass we're just trying to bring civilization and clean running water and power to these people so they can live in a modern civilized society and have the freedom to worship any religion without fear of being killed.

[Comedian80]

Pox News is the worst example of journalism I have ever seen. Then again, BBC is can be just as bad, but from the opposite view. If you look between the lines, you'll find the truth. I try to avoid politics, however, because all the needless confrontation does my head in.

[robchudley]

[borgduck]

You sound like an enlightened chap.

[rittjc]

The BBC is the most liberal channel of all. What a wacko.

[lancetb]

That last comment was meant for asdffd. By the way asdffd, there's going to come a time in the very near future, when our country will be attacked again by Islamist terrorists and you had better pray you are not in the city, chosen as their target, when that day comes. After the next attack, we'll be wishing for the good old days of 9/11 and worms like you will be crying in the streets over the destruction that your cowardice has brought on our country.

[lancetb]

I'm guessing you get your news from the Daily Show. At any rate, evidently you are as ignorant as the people you are trying to belittle, because that study was published back in 2003.  If you can't subtract, that's 4 years ago. FYI, trying to deflect attention from your own ignorance by calling others "stupid," doesn't work.

[mugshotesp]

Got that right.

[wattaaa]

Lol corny bastard, hittin on the Al Jazeera lady xD

[Abono2ta]

nice..

[tarchetious]

Screw the Muslims.

[scottius]

You're right, let's kill christians!

[jordan11231123]

thanx for being real

[MahdiY]

Respect!

[directdetect]

I have a question... after my knowledges palestinians and jews have the same blood. What is distinctive is just religion. Why is a so big problem? Why i have to kill you becose you are praying with other words? I think a common state - palestinian and jewish will be better. Look in other countries: i pray in my church, you in yours, this is not a reason to kill which other... Let the other live!

[lancetb]

directdetect: Basically, the heart of the conflict between Jews and Arabs is a blood feud that has lasted over 4,000 years. The first Jew, Abraham, and his wife, Sarah, had a son named Isaac. Abraham also had another son from Sarah's slave, Hagar, whom he named Ishmael. The Jews are the descendants of Isaac and Arabs are descendants of Ishmael. God gave the descendants of Issac the land known as Israel. Arabs mistakenly believe that this land was given to the descendants of Ishmael.

[TruthJusticeNow]

Hi friend,

Great response.

[Alwaystuned]

Hey everyone Driftwood1973 has blocked anyone with opinions different from his. He has a lot of mommy issues. Check out his video then you'll understand why he's still a virgin.

[Alwaystuned]

You're right. I'm not sorry, fuck you! I love this country because of many reasons. One is our freedom of speech. And while I believe your "entire picture" is way out of focus at least you can express your opinion without being hanged. Right! So what the fuck Carl? If you love the middle east so much go back. No. I've never served our country but would be the first in line if asked. These comments are not hilarious Carl. Go find an apartment in Iraq. There has to be some vacant!!!!

[drsuds]

lol.. I love the flaming ameri-zombies that hate in the comments.. lolz. Well said btw. I don't think anyone is looking for bias from the other side... I think they are just looking for the other side of the story because people with a brain know when the blinders are being thrown on.

[Alwaystuned]

I have got to say this again. Get the fuck out of America if you don't like it. Force feed yourself some more of their propaganda bullshit. You could use the weight. Fucking Nazi!!!!!!!!!!!

[fatcarl76]

What I find hilarious is that most of these comments come from people who probably have never served their country.

Have you given at least 4 years of your life to your military?

I know I have.

[kiwibigboy]

fox is for the primitive. The people that love wwf. Cnn is for people that like well read news in proper english and is well documented.Bbc world is much the same as cnn. my point and no respones thanks to that. That's my view and your'e not going to change that.

[lancetb]

kiwibigboy: Based on your criteria for being a Fox News fan and your sophomoric comments, you must be Fox's biggest fan. Were you able to string that paragraph together without drooling on yourself.

[kiwibigboy]

fox news is like watching a cheesy Mcdonalds tv commercial. Over the top with rambo.

[mmrlucky]

NIcely said

[jamil316]

FoxNews is Propaganda

[JonasSalk]

Then what does that make CNN?

[valleyforge20]

FoxNews is the best new station in the world, and it is not conservative, it just seems that way because everyone else is liberal and uses democrat talking points. Al Jazeera has had some good debates on from what little of their network I have seen.

[Giacobinmugatu]

I admire your strong simplicity of mind. So clear, so pure; kind of like how a guppy or a tapeworm or some kind of bivalve organism would think if it had language. It must be nice to see the world through such a primitive filter.

[MahdiY]

Brilliant.

[PatricaMacjella]

fatcarl76 that was an amazing response, its good to hear that not everyone in the world has been brainwashed entirely. And to the response made by killdathadji how are you calling Al-Jazeera terrorist when you are the one saying that you think all of them should be shot.

[Waldemar3]

Excellent response, sir...Us Americans are badly starved for something...ANYTHING that shows different viewpoints from overseas. AND AMEN TO THE PARIS HILTON SHIT! :-)

[ProThruth506]

The media in your countria is jew controled.

[chrisdab1]

nice response. well said.

[Thecommentdick]

Yeah, I know she is fine. Kama sutra lookin mama. Hope she's indian anyway.

[evilthought]

No, She is Lebanese

[inkarose]

Nice video. I agree with your views. We have the same problem here in Australia with the media acting as if the world revolves around us. News here is a joke. They have more freedom to report actual reality in Russia than here yet they act as if they are providing a quality news service.

The world badly needed a quality english language station that is not based in the west. Hopefully Al jazeera will succeed in filling that gap.

[boshhayib]

well said ......

[Riedsman]

Your a fool! I've seen the BBC and Al Ja Zeere, the BBC is an enemy to it's own people and Al Ja Zeere should be bombed because it's the lying mouth piece of the enemy.

[dragonlord10]

I agree. Nuke the muslims from orbit. It is the only way to be sure.

[Giacobinmugatu]

Er, which orbit are they in? Is there a big muslim satellite up there we don't know about? Or, oh no, maybe they all live on the moon? You've really got me thinking now.

[dragonlord10]

I see the movie Aliens is lost upon you.

[Giacobinmugatu]

Damn, you're right! Great film, don't know how that slipped my mind. Still, moronic comment above.

[dragonlord10]

That was the point. There were a lot of moronic comments here. Surprised someone hasn't beaten me to the punch with this one.

[Giacobinmugatu]

I so got the wrong end of that stick, even though I completely agreed with you all along. Late night Youtubing, if you know what I mean; can be tricky. Last survivor of The Nostromo, signing off...

[darrenco35]

Aljezeera my ass I lost my legs,arms,head and torso fighting in Iraq but I hope to return to active duty soon to kick some muslim butt,GOD BLESS AMERICA.

[beethoven4ever]

why does what you're saying have anything to do with anything? :)

[theavatard]

how did you type that in?

[themightylex]

darrenco35, i can believe the part about your head . . .

[DaveH001]

You mean waving our flag and chanting "We're #1" doesn't solve the world's problems immediately? fatcarl76, thanks for the thoughtful video. Please try to edit it down to a 30-second spot and maybe Al Jazeera English can broadcast it to the 95% of the world's population not living in the US.

[sac2001]

excellent comment... good job

[Maxamed101]

great video response

[QuartuvLarry]

Well said, I suppose, although al-Jazeera is NOT my first choice for an alternative. Fox gets a little too nuanced in its reporting while BBC is just left of CNN.

[fatcarl76]

Its not that I think al-Jazeera is the best choice, but its a good credible choice. For example, the majority of your Americans honestly have no idea what is going on in Israel, nor do they know of the conditions in which the Palestinians live in.

It would be worthwhile to take into account the points of views of all regions affected, and why not into account some of what comes from the news source in the region?

[Patriot2572]

great video response!!!

[epepep]

respect.

[wontonga]

What? we aren't the most important?!

[raiden233]

awesome awesome u just brought it perfect perfect bro thats what is right what u said

[Meep93]

That was one of the best things I've ever heard. ^^

[loqutor]

Well-said, brother.

[JihadPenn]

For once we have a non-west media. Western media promotes the uncivilized lack of absolutely justice by USA UK putting UN in their pocket.

Do debates promoting the unclawing of Iraq. Debate the jungle of USA building the worlds bigest Embassy in Iraq.

Civilization demands USA declared personna non grata in Iraq for atleast 20 yrs. Help return this world to civilization

[ComradeLynx]

fat american

[fatcarl76]

If we could be at peace in the world I could go back to concentrating on losing weight.

[lancetb]

Let's see, you're proposing that we should look at ourselves as pathetic losers? FYI, there's nothing wrong with, nor anything to be ashamed about, being appreciative of America's status as the strongest, richest nation in the world. Since you seem to be so enamoured with the pursuit of mediocrity, perhaps you should move to Europe, or Russia.

[natedoggrevolution]

Let's see, you're saying since he isn't interested in thumping his chest chanting "USA! USA!", then he must hate his country. FYI, there's nothing wrong with a different perspective, and you are just another confrontational prick with nothing to say.

[lancetb]

I say, why don't you get out of America if you hate it so much? Trust me, you won't be missed.

[daveylaurence]

He doesn't hate America and I don't see how you would get that impression by watching this video. He seems to have disdain for certain aspects of American media. Why should he leave his homeland over such a thing? Protesting irresponsibility in the media is a very <b>patriotic</b> thing to do.

[lancetb]

I was replying to natedoggrevolution, who so eloquently called me a "confrontational prick" & evidently believes that anyone who defends America is a chest thumping, patriotic zealot. Regardless, the answer to the bias in American media is not Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera is backed by people who would love nothing more than to see America crippled and Israel destroyed. People like nate and the guy in this video need to choose a side and stop kowtowing to our enemy.

[fatcarl76]

While the fundamentalists may be deemed our enemy, most of the people over in the Middle East are NOT fundamentalists. I spent time in the Middle East during my time in the Navy, and I have many friends from the Middle East here stateside. While our cultures tend to be a bit different, in the end, we're much more alike than people give credit for.

[fatcarl76]

Karim and Akmed go to work the same way Fred and Bill do over here - they talk about news with the guys, talk about their families, and work hard to raise their families up the best way they can.

Your hatred and fear has allowed you to generalize excessively. Take your blinders off.

[lancetb]

You're the one who needs to take the blinders off, Pal. Perhaps if Karim and Akmed told their friends to stop strapping bombs around themselves, there wouldn't be a need to generalize. On the other hand, Fred and Bill would be the first to loudly condemn any Americans who used the tactics of Islamists. Every time those cowards blow up innocent people in Israel, your favorite network, Al Jazeera, portrays them as freedom fighters.

[fatcarl76]

Its not that simple. While I do not condone the suicide-tactics, when one is fighting an army that is very well equipped with AK-47's and tanks, sticks and stones and small arms don't go very far. Israel isn't innocent by any means, so please dont delude yourself into thinking that they've just defended themselves.

[lancetb]

Actually, it is that simple. The Palestinians are guests in a country that has always belonged to the Jews and they shouldn't be throwing sticks and stones at their gracious hosts in the first place. The ones with a delusional problem are the Palestinians, who have no claim whatsoever in the land known as Israel.

[scottius]

.... i can already tell you're a close-minded fuckhead.  There are more than two sides.

[PeacefulNinja]

It sounded like he was just using the conservative and liberal sides just as an example to support his opinions on the matter rather than there only being just 2 sides because as you and I can see, there are more than two, peace

[PeacefulNinja]

It sounded like he was just using the conservative and liberal sides just as an example to support his opinions on the matter rather than there only being just 2 sides because as you and I can see, there are more than two, peace

[PeacefulNinja]

that message was to scottius by the way

[fatcarl76]

Wow to start off an intelligent conversation. My hats off to you.

Are you even from here (the US)? Political discussions turn into a bashing of liberal vs conservative. We only have two parties, for the most part (our 3rd, at this point, are highly ineffective).

Considering I said that I dont usually believe in the liberal or the conservative side, that right there alludes to my belief in there being more than 2 sides.

Aural comprehension would serve you well.

[lancetb]

And I can tell that you're either a fifth grader, or an adult with a fifth grade education.

[lancetb]

By the way, that comment, above, was meant for Scottius.

[tonesproject]

good point, but 'everything else' is not a liberal station. in fact, most everything regarded as liberal media, is just as scared and conservative as fox... just presented in a liberal friendly package. the substance isnt liberal at all. in fact, the only real liberal media out there is air america, the nation magazine, and many independent internet websites... but i mean, msnbc (etc) really isnt liberal as much as they want you to think they are

[IxHavexArrived]

you = awesome

[SooohighL]

good comment

[lutfialtinel]

Last fifty year all war's on the world are from USA politics!!! USA every year spent 500 billion dollar for weapon! If 50% of this money invest to search petrol in the ocean,then hundred too more like Iraq petrol to be found!

[vcusmano]

just like a friggin man,,,mentions looks in the first sentence...cripes

[fatcarl76]

Hahaha....I'm not apologizing for that.

[nervouss]

Good Points!

[surreyjutt]

i agree with you 100%

[HallnWo1985]

Dude, i think shes hot to!

[Zelzela]

you think she is hot?? ahah dude, she is. ahah.

[ademscott13]

its only supoosed to be 30secs long u dumbass

[NUKEHEAD99]

I thought you were well spoken. Good points. I would disagree on one thing though; the idea there is something wrong with Americans being FOR America. I realize that's not how you worded it. I see nothing wrong with being PRO-America, IF you're and American. I see nothing wrong with siding with American interests IF you're PRO-America. I live in America, my mom and dad live here, my 4 kids live here. I'm PRO-America and anti-(anybody who isn't). I do not apologize for that.

[cheeseburgerbob]

get a god damn new cam you cheap fuck.

[macrules207]

Lol.....

[hrohian]

I agree with your comments... Thanks for sharing them..

[Alwaystuned]

I'm sorry, but fuck you. Move to fucking Iraq!!!!!

[theprodigalrebel]

Excellent post. A++++. Will read again. /sarcasm

Well said, Carl.

[Alwaystuned]

Thank you Carl. No sarcasm.

[fatcarl76]

Why apologize if you're going to tell someone "fuck you".

Either say it and mean it, or don't.

Why does my looking at the entire picture bother you so?

Have you ever been to the Middle East?

[QuartuvLarry]

I went trolling on another forum, and then I looked back and saw how immature & insipid my comments were, so I apologized to the folks for them. People won't always say what they mean, so apologies are good for stuff like that.
