rtcvb32: While I don't disagree, it is a lot of effort for little gain. It's also exhausting enough already with what I am keeping up with.
Actually, it's not "little" gain. It's a lot of gain. In fact, it's the way you get the MOST gain.
If you only get your information from one source, you're just as bad as the people who only ever pay attention to mainstream media. You have no guarantee that your information is any less biased or controlled.
Or, to put it in language more direct to you:
How do you know your grassroots organization dedicated to truth wasn't started by the government in the first place?
That is, of course, an extreme example compared to what I'm getting at, but perhaps it can make you understand more.
The only way you can ever ACTUALLY get information is by listening to the people who are disagreeing with you. Consider what they're saying. Consider WHY they're saying what they're saying. Ignore it, and you set yourself up to be a tool for the next Jim Jones.
rtcvb32: Questioning the system can be constructive and important. I do care, but until I see something so conflicting that makes me drop my current objective, I'll keep on. Just because there's a log in the road doesn't mean you don't keep moving forward, it just means you muddle through it or solve the problem. Maybe not the way you intended to, but it will happen.
I concur that you should always question the system, but you seem to be doing less questioning and more just blind accusing.
You've had several things to conflict you, but you, so far, have chosen to completely ignore them. Perhaps if you'd actually pay attention to what's being said with you, you could discover a lot more about your own views.
You're not traveling down a road and facing logs. You're standing in one place and shouting at people. You're not actually actively seeking knowledge (because if you were, you'd take the time to listen to the arguments of others rather than spend all your days religiously following Infowars and other sources), and you're most certainly not solving anything.
Let me express this yet again:
If you truly want to have a full understanding of what you're investigating, skip the spamming of links. Keep the information to yourself, and use it when it fits to explain an argument. Instead, present your arguments, one at a time, and get information on them from other people, especially those who don't necessarily share your viewpoints.
