3. "Nobody cares who a mattress company sends money to."
Edited on Tue May-08-07 11:30 PM by nam78_two
Actually I care and I missed the OP's original post because I was busy for a couple of weeks. I will be contacting them. I care about Beck's lies about global warming being on CNN and I care about who the sponsors are.

I also have a piece of friendly advice (surely since you hand it out so freely, you will be able to take it as well):

It is a bad idea to say things like "Nobodycares about xyz" on a message board of this size, since it sounds as though you are speaking for everyone and in this instance and actually most of the time you are not speaking for me and I would guess also not for some other subset of the crowd here, however many people you actually represent. So unless you can make everyone who doesn't think exactly like you disappear, it is factually inaccurate for you to say "nobody cares".
Global warming is the biggest issue for me-much more so than the war. It is not for you? Ok-but your priorities need not represent those of every single individual on the board.

Of course you can and will ignore this, but I like giving advice to people who always go around giving unsolicited advice themselves. You see I am telling you the truth that "no one else will" ;).
