   O'Reilly Factor
  Anyone catch the O''Reilly Factor tonight?  They had an elementary school principal and two rappers on there debating the effects of rap ''music'' on young people who listen to and watch what they put out.  First, I must say that the rappers were by far the most inconsiderate guests that O''Reilly has had on there since i''ve been watching it.  At one point they were somewhat mocking Mr. O''Reilly, they constantly cut off Bill and the other guest that he had, not letting them finish their points.  Now, I don''t have a problem with arguing on a talk/debating show, that''s what they''re for. These guys however were, in my opinion fairly childish in the way that they acted.One thing that particularly irked me were the unfair and flat out wrong comparisons that the rappers used in their defense.  O''Reilly asked one of the rappers if he felt that his music adversely effected young people and he said that he didn''t think so, but he was quick to say that he thought that Marilyn Manson caused the Columbine shootings.  I think that this was a very unfair attack on Manson.  I don''t think that any particular media causes someone to snap, not music, not games and not movies.  The people obviously have some sort of problem that needs dealing with.  People are too quick to point the finger at things like that.  "Oh god!  He killed 20 people and played Doom every so often!  Sue id!!"Well, sorry to rant on and on about this, I just felt kind of strongly about the segment and the things that were said. 
  They were probably chosen for the show due for being not the sharpest knives in the drawer if you know what I'm saying.Edit: No, I didn't watch it...But from what you say that seems to be the case...-=Lohrno   [edited by - Lohrno on November 13, 2003 12:24:37 AM];  I agree with Lohrno. That smells like something O''Reilly would do.
