My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: GE owns NBC
My guess would be that there was some kind of financial transcation involved...
In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!
Re: GE owns NBC
Long time, now.
By next year, GE owns everything.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

Re: GE owns NBC
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
Strike, your OP is backwards. If you want the same level of respectability as Tribesman, you need to post a link with no commentary. There is a hint of commentary in the OP and no link.
Keep trying though.

Re: GE owns NBC
Here's a wikipedia-reported list of companies owned in whole or in part, by GE. I remember reading one of the odd co-incidences of 9-11 being: the engines of the airplanes used were made by GE. GE was a major holder of the lease of the Twin Towers. GE was the primary insurer and re-insurer of the Twin Towers, as well as the primary insurer of American Airlines, and the earliest report of trouble was made by MSNBC.
Weird, eh?

Re: GE owns NBC
Of course, the real question is, how come the French media group Vivendi came to own such a large stake in MSNBC, thereby bringing truth and the liberal way into American homes?Originally Posted by Strike For The South

Re: GE owns NBC
I hear GE have put in a bid to become a majority shareholder in this thread.
Rest in Peace TosaInu, the Org will be your legacy
Re: GE owns NBC
I hear GE already IS a major shareholder of this thread.

The show 30 Rock pokes fun at this fact a lot.
Re: GE owns NBC
Strike, thank you for volunteering to demonstrate why starting threads with no content is a bad thing. It was a selfless act, typical of the considerate and noble Texan.
Job done, I think. You can go back you your usual verbose style full of closely-argued and impeccably logical premises.
