[QUOTE="weeds, post: 1036527, member: 39"] Oh my God, yes - you belted that one out of the park. Then, to the advent of the internet, add nearly every social media site (excepting this one, of course) and the fact that every purveyor of alternative truth has a "podcast" AND the fact that critical thinking is no longer encouraged in schools, nor so much as tolerated over the last few decades. I'm not talking full blown skepticism, I'm talking about the simple ability to recognize crap when you hear it. Unfortunately, a lot of this 'crap' is bottled and sold as fertilizer to an unsuspecting audience who laps it up with a naive "I .... DID ... NOT ... KNOW ... THAT...!", and suddenly, a fractured notion becomes plausible. I used to have fun with my college professors as a 21-year-old non-traditional student. A good number of these people were literally provoking kids to speak up, to challenge them - few did even back in the very early 80's. The profs I had loved it when I'd start the next class with a request to further discuss what was presented in the last class session. (Yeah, I was THAT guy) ... "Dr. Suchandsuch, I'm admittedly just a hick farmboy but I have some questions regarding what was presented on Monday." Challenging anybody now is an affront. Is "disrespecting" the presenter - I don't think so. I'm never in a hurry to criticize the supposed 'main stream media' neither. The people playing that card are usually trying to sell you their own bill of goods. Ok... enough of this ... I have to take the dog out for a poop walk. [/QUOTE]
