Don't bother yourself with having expectations of me. I don't, of you.

Received information as opposed to personal discovery.

All information has to be received/acquired one way or another. It's how that information is disseminated that leads to personal discovery.

Not really. You pick up a glass of water and drink some. you know if it is cold or hot. I tell you the water is cold and you believe me w/o verifying it for yourself you are relying on received information instead of perceived information.
The point I am making has to do with a passive attitude about news and other info instead of an active attitude. Even if it is just applying some critical thinking to received info, it seems like a much better approach to take, tasting before you swallow, as it were.

Nothing in jill's posts suggests she was approsching the news reports uncritically

And WTF anyway, this forum is called politics. Where do we get our info in order to discuss it? From the media. Flint was just being a dick.

Well, to be fair, I think Jill might have overreacted because of the other bashing. Flint was just a minor annoyance, but maybe the straw that broke the camels back? Anyway, I hope she'll change her mind, I like her voice. Much better than mine, I've become very disinterested in politics because everyone I know have such polar beliefs and you can't have a reasonable conversation. FFS my brother in law started yelling when we were trying to discuss evolution being taught in schools, and he's a biology major!

I understand that my point could have been misunderstood, BUT…
Once I’ve explained, step by step, exactly what I meant, and exactly what I didn’t mean, several times over, then what does that say about the peanut gallery who snipes at me with purposefully dishonest cheap shots? Either you’re too thick-headed to put two and two together, or you’re repeating outright fabrications with intent to be malicious, for no apparent reason. Either way, great job! Keep up the good work, weak-minded fools! It doesn't bother me at all, and I don't regret anything I've said (why would I?) but at least the sloppy thinkers have revealed themselves.
