I find this hilarious given the amount of debunked propaganda Luvnit spouts.
Not an expert in everything, just when it comes to government stuff I am probably one of, if not the most knowledgeable one on here. I'm ignorant in a lot of things, but I will freely admit to it. When it comes to energy stuff, for instance, I will defer to folks like Stewy. I know enough to say that the role of POTUS in the fluctuations of the price of gasoline is much smaller than people believe it to be, but beyond that I don't know a ton about those issues. Folks like me who work on policy go to people like Stewy (or at least we should) to ask for their input on things.
One thing I will point out is that if you only think those you typically agree with are the ones challenging things and those you disagree with never do, you might not be as much of a free thinker as you believe yourself to be. Especially when a lot of what you and some of them say are parroted talking points. Just sayin'.
I haven't been "programmed." The scientific method is rooted in asking a question and then seeking to disprove an answer. When you test things you are trying to break it. Then, you put the information out there and get others to repeat it, hoping for the same results. When that replication occurs, this strengthens the evidence for the answer. My first post in this thread was all about evaluating the evidence, thinking critically about the results, and requiring multiple sources to show the same results before I would accept something. That is as far from blindly accepting something as you can get. However, instead of recognizing that, you saw it was coming from me, pulled out some points to attack, and used them out of context to try to say that I was just following along on things.
The irony in this is so thick I really don't know what to do with it.
if your such a free thinker and aint programmed how come i never see you challenge pally or ludicus or dill on the things they say? thats weird how that never happens, like me. ive challenged folks on here on religion and trump even though i agree with them on most other stuff. why dont you do the same with the folks i mentioned. i cant find any post of yours challenging them even though they are wrong about a lot of things. you have no problem disagreeing with me on every time i say something
