6. The same with any other scoundral.
Edited on Mon Dec-27-10 10:33 PM by RandomThoughts
Much sorrow and sadness. Although I don't think he is a scoundrel, but how would I know.

And if he was not, and I thought he was not, how hard would it be for a few postings to try to get me to think he was. And then if I thought he was, how hard would it be for a few posts to get me to think the opposite.

Why I try to think on concepts and ideas, and not attach them to people. If you comment on a person someone just posts something out of perspective, untrue, or that you were unaware about the person. The only intent is to reverse what you think.

Think how tough it is to make decisions with multiple layers that information goes through, so doubt many people have the full set of information anyways.


But my point is this, no matter who you 'support' it is really easy for someone to post something to get you to think that was a bad idea to support them, a form of creating hopeless or despair by the concept of trying to get what you support to seem to be against you. Supporting an ideal, makes it much harder for them to trick you.

So you don't support a politician, you support an ideal, then anyone that sees that ideal in their actions knows you support them.


Besides there are a variety of possibilities of ranges of censorship or misinformation. Everything from people thinking everything is a joke so making up stories, to the fact that hundreds of thousands of people are on intelligence and private sector pr firms payroll. Then there is CGI, and other forms of manipulation.

So really, that is why to support ideals, and from that people that have the same ideals will get support regardless of filters.
