some people shouldn't talk

[chinaxtea]

There are some people that just shouldn't have rights to opinions. a question my father always asks is "How do you know what you know?" which you would know is a rather intelligent thing to ask if you've ever asked it to a person with a very strong opinion. Usually the answer will be

And most of all challenge your own opinions!

i love doing that! arguing with myself is always fun.

as for information, most of my stuff comes from either cnn's website or the wired :3 (by the way, cnn.com is. like. god. it's the best news site ever.)

it depends on what people consider fact... if an article is writen in the new york times about pink ponies and how their fur can be used for over 325634 things and they're very useful but it's cruel to kill them, then i'd consider the first thing a fact and the other an opinion. (one that i'd agree with. pink ponies are very rare and so cute!)

but really, things that are printed in a news paper...those are just little...things to go by. most of the other stuff comes from the area usually used to form opinions *points to head*

cnn is politicaly biased too, i never watch cnn.
I was watching cnn when they reported a giant mushroom cloud was over North Korea and then they said it was a forest fire!!!!!
please lie to me but DO NOT insult my intelligence! they could have at least tried something more plausible, like... uh i dunno north Korea is testing nuclear weapons!

but for some reason to cnn it was more plausible to say there's a GIANT mushroom cloud hovering above a remote area near a korean air base, good things that there forest fire didn't go near any of the planes -gerhyuk! Dang them thar North Koreans can sure start big ol' fires! lets hope since they're our sworn enemies they don't try to set fire to us too! and gee ain't that weird that a cloud of smoke caused by the most enormous forest fire in the history of mankind happened to look like an enormous mushroom!?
argh!
that's what'd i'd like to say about that.
lol sorry rambled a bit there!
