"I am all for free speech but not when it is the same thing being repeated over and over again, and much of it copied and pastes from various other sites."

So "free speech" must be according to your terms INAM. Isn't that censorship?

As for BB, why is it called a reality show?

I would watch Big Brother CS if monman was in it. Imagine the power struggles lol

Not at all Monman.

However the repetative nature of such posts gets very tiresome and I am apt to wonder if all that person does all day is go in search of articles to copy and paste here without actually putting his own input and observations into it.

I could randomly copy and paste articles about Maine Coone cats, each time starting a brand new thread of discussion about it even though much of the information is very similar to what I had already posted. To what end?

In the past I had observed on here where a poster would start a discussion topic about some major current event that had taken place that day, and a short time later another poster would post a similar thread and be told that there was already a discussion thread about that particular topic. The 'tone' used was that one thread was already enough thank you very much, why start another one.

So what is the difference between that scenario and a multitude of anti Labor party/Kevin Rudd type discussion topics?

Incidently we are more Liberal party supporters but in truth find the nit picking and lack of respect for our countries leader in rather poor taste.

Let the votes count on election day and let those results give the true opinion of Australians and their belief on who will be the better leader. Not a multitude of copying and pasting articles available online to those who seek them out when they wish.

On that note I shall return to my knit, purl'ing.

haha, eBay/Lithium Big Brother would be fun!

I got sidetracked trying to find why reality shows are called reality shows (although I think it could be because they aren't scripted?) and read this answer on wiki-answers about why Big Brother is called Big Brother 

"They call it "Big Brother" because the older brother is normally the one who watches everyone and keeps eye over everybody. And due to the fact that cameras are all over the Big Brother household, it refers to the term big brother."

I had always thought it was for the '1984' feeling of everyone being under observation?

I have a major dilemma.  MasterChef, Big Brother.... Big Brother, MasterChef.  

Life can be so difficult.
