And as I have said to you before, that choice of yours causes you great difficulty when it comes to matters of simple discourse with other people. It leads you to neglect everything except for that which you desire to hear or believe to support your previously formulated belief. In other words, it results in you making generally less informed and less educated opinions than your peers.
No, It helps me keep my core beliefs clear where I'm not misled by those that speak with expertize. Now you are different and look at the results. You believe crazy things because you're so gullible. You spend too much time reading other people's opinion and it causes you to believe crazy things. You believe that slavery had nothing to do with secession. You believe Lincoln was a communist. The reason you believe these things is that you haven't learned to discern truth from fiction, or fact from opinion. You don't understand that when you read another person's opinion, that the author will tell the truth 9 times in a row, then that author will throw in a subtle little lie that you can't detect and then all these little lies add up to a big problem and you're completely off-course from the truth.

Those that I choose to support are in higher positions than I and they got there by being intelligent and thoughful. You'll notice in the above post I said "most". Those very few I choose to support have their fundamentals correct and so having more experience in the intellectual circles of our society, I will listen to their expanded opinion. I'm very particular about this though. You won't catch me listening to some BSer that goes against truth and obvious fact. That keeps me away from the kind of nuts that have you so misguided.
