...Totally agree....and also, Short Hand and Pyro are both troublemakers too. You only have to read this thread to see that. Short Hand turns an argument out of nothing, about something entirely trivial and pointless - The fact that he is actually wrong is what makes it amusing though. Stewart's style of interviewing,
if it wasn't intended to make people laugh would be considered 'Childish.'
Mix the above quote with a troublemaking attitude and you have an example of a annoying little upstart, with no logical arguing agenda. There is no intention to seek any kind of conclusion or final point in these arguments he starts.
LOL, such pathetically transparent creatures.[/quote:f96cf]
No Jon Stewart does make certain logical arguments. His show is to emphasize the stupidity of the media, politics and culture that we are bombarded everyday and to show the double standards of people as well as the right and left wing. Thats his argument and his agenda. To show how simple minded ppl absorb everything they take in without filtering the information. Of course he does this using humour and witty remarks. Thats his trademark. Thats why so many people watch his show.
EDIT: That book sounds like your typical soccer mom argument. "Lets blame all our problems on these singers and movie actors etc" Yes culture can have an influential factor but it looks like the book fails to assess the other important factors and denies to confront the more realistic problem of America.
