However, this doesn’t mean you are not cheated every single day by the omnipresent others who lie, steal and cheat you out of … well … the list is pretty darn long.

I reckon though, that it’s better to be the cheated than the cheater. And I reckon most feel that way.

“A society of cheaters and the cheated.”

There’s a saying which goes: anyone who wants to be a policeman should be automatically rejected.

You could of course replace the word ‘policeman’ with quite a large range of alternatives: politicians, lawyers, teachers, soldiers…or anyone else who likes to wear a uniform…or anyone who wants to be a CEO some day…

Yeah right.

Mr Paxman has always appeared something of an intellectual lightweight to me, and I’ve never really understood why interviewees are allegedly terrified of him. It seems his reputation is founded more on his ability to be loud, rude and obnoxious (and therefore moderately entertaining) than any ability to be penetrating and lethal. The softly spoken, mild mannered Brian Walden was infinitely more dangerous.

Paxman is simply doing what they’ll all be doing soon – blaming someone else for the “mistakes” they made – but the inescapable fact is that those “mistakes” are the result of gross incompetence or criminal deceit, neither of which justifies the continued employment of these individuals. As most of us know, if there was any real justice in the world most of our main decision-makers would all be tucked up behind bars.

That’s why the army was ordered to blow up every site in situ, because the boxes of plagues and chemical gases had the countries of origin plastered all over them. Iraq is the most toxic place on the planet. Why aren’t all the government enviromentalists wailing and gnashing their teeth about that?????

Good journalists don’t get ‘hoodwinked’. We all know that the media of mass deception was bought a long time ago by the power-elite, ‘the enlightened ones’. ‘Hoodwinked’ my ass!

“It offers you the opportunity to meet all sorts of fascinating people… If you have a curious mind and you like words it’s a wonderful, wonderful occupation.” But the pay is not good, he warned: “The salaries are very poor… There is no job security.” Nevertheless: “It remains a fascinating way to spend your time.”

Paxman considers journalism salaries to be poor? He hasn’t seen my paycheck – nor that of a great many other working stiffs out here. I’d swap out my monthly pittance for his in a heartbeat. A good example of the out of touch/don’t have a clue about reality disease that afflicts the media. The glamour, the proximity to power and celebrity, and the nice paydays (via paycheck or primo networking opportunities with power elites) – Paxman and his mainstream counterparts aren’t about derail their gravy train by engaging in actual journalism any time soon.

The next time he’s out pontificating and posturing before an audience, let’s hope a shoe gets thrown his way.

This arch pompous bore gets £1million p.a*. from the BBC licence fee payers alone, is a member of the British American Project (laughingly thought of as a CIA offshoot) and has a brother embedded in the British Foreign Office (Ambassador to Mexico) and a sister who works in the BBC as a radio producer. All good cogs in the machine.

Only if a land wld attack another land with wmd or any other weapons wld UN have the right to attack that land.
But still beter wld be to prevent a wmd attack. It cld be easily prevented by a simple UN vow that those who ordered attack wld be hunted, killed, or captured.
In case of an greatly disfunctional and evil empire like iraq, saddam wld have seen the writing on the wall: 6.7bn mad people wld be after him if he wld use wmd.
In addition, and evil empire like iraq can be held together only thru oppression, torture, killings, etc.
Which, of course, the empire did lot of. And obtained further 18mn very mad enemies.
However, US wants self to use one day wmd and its leaders’ absolvency from that crime. Thus, saddam was not to be hunted, killed, or captured for alegeledly making wmd. That cannot do! It is clearly against US interests!
To conclude, paxman 03=paxman 09. Or US1750=US=19=US 52.
