Some of the stuff I find that I thank others might want to see is kinda long.. Would it be better to post the whole thang here or just link it ??

I know that some folks hate to leave this site to read a linked story and would rather have it posted here, but I also know that takes up a lotta space..

I'm a News Hound and I was wonderin if anybody else is interested in the Leave/Stay Iraq Debate that is goin back and forth.. I have found some interestin articles on the subject lately but I hate to just put it on a hook and see if I get any bites.. I figger it might be better to just ask what folks would like to read about..

I like to dig for my news tho and not just pass on whats on the front of the papers and whats on TV.. Thats where the Libs get their news, and you see what it does to them !! snicker snicker

I would say if it's REALLY long, a link would be better. Sometimes people say they can't bring up the link and ask the article be posted - Ususally this happens to the military guys as the have stuff blocked.

Just my guess!!!

I am DEFINATELY interested in the Leave/Stay Iraq Debate. Hook us up!!!

I prefer the link because that allows me to better judge the source.
I have ran into "copied" text that was edited to fit the posters attitude. Not saying that you would do that but I have a penchant for verifing everything. I have also seen posts that seem to be from reasonabel people but the source was VERY biased. smiley-snopes-check ALWAYS!!!
