The World's problem is that everyone is a freaking critic... So for all those critics out there....

[MrScorpio]

Two thumbs down!



I just got finished looking a bunch of comments in a NYT OP ED piece.

So many opinions... So little consensus.

1. Yep, and the crtics are mostly uninformed

and spout a bunch of nonsense that is biased to their prejudices.

[sharp_stick]

3. So you're criticizing huh?

What nonsense is biased to your prejudice?

I'm just trying to get my mind around the implications of this kind of thinking. ;-):evilgrin:

5. No, observing.

I have seen people say things that I know are not true, and it is because they are expressing their view via a bias, normally right-wing.

For instance, I recently read this on a board:

"Funny to see all the lib's having heart attacks on the appointment.
It is apparently abundant what these lib's wanted was another lock step big spending, union loving, Blue-Line painting, tax hiking, puppet."

The second sentence is nothing but nonsense biased according to the writer's prejudices against "libs".

7. I know but I

couldn't resist the obvious opportunity to be a smart ass.

8. Not too bad, you at least made me think twice ......

[TheKentuckian]

4. Are you the exception or the rule?

[tabatha]

6. I try, where possible

and I am human and not perfect, to try to post facts on various boards.
I usually have links to support the counter arguments I make.

See my other reply.

2. I like to criticize

it's fun

9. ...

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
