THE NEGATIVE REACTION

BEING OBJECTIVE ISNT EVERYTHING. . .

So, for the past few days I've been having a rather heated debate regarding the politics of the upcoming election. This "debate" as you might call it, involves people on the website which deals in Chemtrails.

I had always thought people on a website that deals in conspiracy theories would at least have an open mind and objectively look at things. I mean, they're trying to prove something based on little, if any evidence. To do so, one most suspend quite a bit of the normal scientific method to come ot the conclusion this "conspiracy" is true. I posted a while back my faith in this particular conspiracy is growing thin (see 05/25/04 for my thoughts). So I found it particluarly alarming when the posts starting coming fast and furious. The topic of the thread had to do with the documentary regarding how FoxNews is soooooooo right leaning. WOW! Now there's a shocker. So I posted a few thoughts regarding the fact that there seems to be an overwhelming bias actually in the opposite direction. I threw up a ton of statistics and suddenly found myself the target of the these people. The most profound thing I started to find was the original poster "KNOW-THIS" never put any of his OWN thoughts on any of his posts, it was simply him posting articles from different websites. How nice to have a mouthpiece for your thoughts. How nice to be able to actually form an argument and back it up with facts and your own opinon and conclusions. Not somebody else's ideas you simply use for the benefit of your own argument.

I then thought to myself, well, politics is kinda a heavy issue right now and people are pretty adament about which canidate they're going to vote for and which one they really don't like. So maybe, it's just me, starting an argument I can't win, or don't care to win. I guess these people never took any classes on philosophy and the art of arguing effectively.

I just posted this response (you'll have to scan ot the bottom of the page) on the thread, so it will be interesting to see what people post after it. I wonder if I will be accepted back into the fold, or merely ousted from the baord. Eitherway, it doesn't make much difference. If you can't objectively look at something, then I feel really sorry for you. The ability to think critically is lost on people today. We are far more comfortable leaning on other people's viewpoints, rather than critically analyzing what's being said and the purpose behind it. This is why I love conservative talk shows. They will break down what's being said and attempt to find out what the real purpose of what's being said. Politicians are such slimy, slippery creatures. I think Dennis Prager does this the best (thus, the link on my page) and also interjects a great deal of morale viewpoints to accentuate his position.

So what have I learned? Well, that politics is a messy game, there are some REALLY big kooks and nutzos out there, and basically people love to think as a group instead of as individuals. Nothing very revelatory there, just some conclusions I've drawn from this experience.

Oh well. . . .now for something MUCH BETTER. . . . .

This is Danny Way. This is Danny Way defining what is, "Imgaine the possibilities?"
