    Yes, it is best for the country to have educational programming available. And you should be a part of having an educated country. Don't be so selfish. Put the country near the top of your list, and not just your personal wants.

    You think everyone has to pay for things you want, and you think you should not have to pay for things others want.
    I care less you don't want to pay for 41 minutes of educational TV, just like you don't care I pay for 10,000 hours of military wars or drug wars.

    No you're not. .1% here and .1% there, doesn't amount to squat. Now 55% here on the military and wars that are fruitless, now you're talking real $$$$$.
    Throw that $3B towards something good besides a wall that won't do much. That was promised as Mexico paying for.

    Stop trying to turn all of America into red neck hillbillies. Keep them in Appalachia. We don't need them spreading like ISIS and doing the damage intellectually like ISIS does physically.

    It's irrefutable fact that the climate is changing.

    What's so yesterday is this erotic compulsion you and others seem to have in refuting scientific facts with nonsensical soundbytes.

    You don't know what education is, that has been clear from you for a while. And you are of the most brainwashed type here.
    We don't buy that stupidity.

    Do you have a point in posting here? I mean, really. All you do is deflect and spew sound byte nonsense. You never offer anything of intellectual value. Why not go start a ****ing blog instead of wasting our time?

    Again. Why do you post here?

    Why? What purpose does it serve?

    Blogs are free, and you don't have to deal with people like me asking why the **** you bother posting here.

    Thanks for proving my point. The climate is changing.

    So when talking about nature, climate change must be discussed if it is having an impact.

    End of chat.

    ALL sides....and their hour programs are an HOUR, not 40 minutes with 20 minutes of commercials. Ya get your money's worth.

    Although with how stupid commercials are, I can see why righties might like them :)

    And which of those sides is NOT PRESENTED ELSEWHERE ON NON-GOVERNMENT SUPPORTED NETWORKS?

    Give me a side that is not presented on FOX news or any of the other networks and if it is the commercials then the government can help fund FOX and they can cut down on commericials, give me a reason they should not?

    We're not at a trump rally full of rubes in trucker hats. That's a weak attempt.

    Religous idiocy and the selfish nature of conservatism (oddly) walk hand in hand.

    :roflol: Sure , just as soon as you produce proof that public broadcasting is slanted toward the left. You haven't yet :)...and you were asked first.
    And the topic is about funding public broadcasting, not FOX (which I don't watch). (BTW, it isn't the only network...guess you didn't know that)
