You don’t discuss anything, just insult. Interesting.

You posted to me. I didn’t to you. If you don’t like what I typed, stop posting to me.

Look, I’ll try once to reach you. It isn’t about this case. It is about how you get information and think about it. If you ever wondered why Liberals are so screwed up about stuff, it is because they don’t know how to reason. “Conservatives” aren’t immune. Threads like this are an example. People started with an opinion and nothing will turn them from it. They will demonize anything that impinges on that view and anyone that holds it.

I posted originally to the person who seemed new to the topic. I told him to not follow the people here who aren’t remotely interested in the objective truth (as opposed to the relative or subjective truth). I told him to go to link sources such as the paper that is running a blog of the inquest...sorry Kangaroo Court, and Erik Scott’s father’s blog.

Why? Because those sources provide information. Is the information there accurate? I don’t know. I’ve bookmarked the father’s site and you know his view. I’ve follwed the paper’s summary of the Inquest. I’ve watched the YouTube videos that are posted from the local media. Because, I want to know the FACTS if I can get them.

It doesn’t have to be about this topic. It could be about health care. It could be about Obama. It could be about the tax cuts. It could be about anything. But unless you actually evaluate the information(What’s the source? Can it be corroborated? Is it fact or someone’s opinion? Is the person honest? Did they make a mistake? How much is known and how much is still unknown? What are they leaving out? What questions didn’t they ask?) then you simply are a potential walking victim of propaganda. It doesn’t matter whose propaganda, because you will believe what the last person tells you.

It is why political entities dump all their millions into ads just before the elections. They know that people don’t think and will act like lemmings on their last impression.

Yes, it is why I feel pity. Maybe you get it, maybe you don’t. Good luck.
