“They are made from trees! TheyÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re all just relics anyway. I give them a year.”

lol….Very true…

But please don’t take my books. Man, I just can’t get into reading a book online. I need that smell and weight of “book,” stacked up in pile…just waiting to be read.

nick, the funniest part about this is that you started off calling us boobs b/c you disagree that we disagree & dislike Folio. Plus, your twists on comments are laughable, “OK. soÃ¢â‚¬Â¦you hate homeless people and details?” I don’t think thats what I said, but I know the liberals out there would see it that way so I should be more careful w/ my words.

“However, youÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re justification for your skepticism is weak.” Weak how? B/c I actually looked into something that seemed sketchy? Oh, I forgot you don’t like the word sketchy, how about dribble w/ no facts backing it up.

I would justify my grammar, but it’s not necessary. You understood it b/c you disagreed w/ it.

But, since you claim to not have gotten this… “Almost every article I read up to that point seemed sketchy and not only the political articles, all of them” The almost is that some of them (very little) were decent stories w/ facts and well thought out writing, but ALL of the political and non politcal stories that weren’t made up the majority of what is put into their “publication”. I’m quite sure you and everyone else understood that, but if you want to break it down, there it is…

I’m sorry, I guess I just finally grew up past the point of “let’s screw the government just because we can and it’s cool” crowd. The Folio is like a kid’s newspaper. The FTU is for the grown-ups. Folio reminds me of a bunch of kids who get a big kick out of being able to say four-letter words. Oohh! Heehee! Giggle! It’s kinda sad, really. If they would act a little more professional, people might actually take them seriously.

My issue with the Folio is that for every article that has been well-thought out, researched, and well-written, there is another one that is flippant and not researched at all…some pretty soft “facts.” And my opinion is based on being near, or knowing some people, who were subjects of various articles. So when I start to take the Folio seriously, they screw it up (for me) by running a hack job.

And I agree, maybe my analogy was off…the TU should not be compared to PBS.

And let’s not get into a personal flame war by dogging writing styles.
