Ignorance

[Dig-the-Man]

Now, I am not going to name any people, but everyone please... before you open your mouth, think about what you are saying first and make sure that you have the facts to back it up. Some people would believe that Saddam is dead. That maybe true or just wishful thinking but; IT HAS YET TO BE CONFIRMED! Watch or read the news or go back to your shanties!
Thank you.

[panik]

Yeah, with out the MILLIONS of “unique” rebels like you who believe everything your load music tell your, where would we be?

[TheEvilOne]

Saddam may be dead, he may not. Nothing has been confirmed. Here we are, talking about how we think or don't think that he may be dead.

Jeez--it's Osama all over again! ("He's dead!" "No, he's alive!" "No, he's dead!")

The true 'unique rebels' are the ones that don't blindly believe ANYTHING. We don't accept statements without evidence, don't follow popular opinion blindly, and can see through propoganda. (if the popular opinion is what we agree with, we'll agree with it. Pop isn't bad because it's pop. It's usually just misinformed =P)

If everyone hunted for the truth like this, and everyone was able to formulate an opinion by themselves... then we'd end up with alot more truth in the world, and alot better choices being made ^_^.

The ability of free and intelligent thought is what makes unique rebels. If you can't think, you're just a mindless protester who protests without reason. Making you just as mindless as those who are blindly for war. ....There are always idiots on all sides...

[MuscleHed]

Personally, I think the ability of free and intelligent thought produces more unique individuals then it does Rebels. A rebel by definition some a person who disagrees with all goals of society, and the ways they go about achieving those goals. Most rebels are only rebel because Rage Against the Machine tells them it is cool.

Actually, nearly everyone online runs around saying "omg bush sux" without any evidence, who's following blindly now?

i think i heard a "whpsh" on the end of that sentence.

[NJDeadzone]

Bush was narrowly voted in, and even after 2+ years of being in office, do you suspect any less protest from the people?

[TheShrike]

I'd say narrowly is an understatement.

I hear you, bro. I favorite reply, a short and simple “Why?” They never can give any answer. The only reply is normal “the economy” But, I’m a Laissez Faire Capitalist, so I don’t think anything Bush did could have effected the economy. In fact, the economy was failing before Clinton left office!

Bush is an all-around good president!

Anyone who understand macroeconomics understands the only way to increase output is to increase Aggregate Demand. The only fiscal ways to do this are to

A: Increase spending (Afghanistan/Iraq, Research)
B: Decrease Taxes (Bush Tax Plan)

well said. kind of makes me glad i voted Bush in 2000. even though it didn't matter in Illinois. but, anyway, well said.

Anyone who understands economics needs to write a book to tell the rest of us. You can put two encomiast in the same room together, and they will never agree. The study of Economic workings of a country are so complex, and they aren’t like science or math. 2+2 adds up to 4 in Math; Economics, it is all theory.

BTW: Glad I voted Bush, too. And glad I don’t live in Florida, lol. I live in Texas, and believe me, the Dixie Chicks are NOT welcome back. They are ashamed Bush is a Texan? How do you think we feel about them...?

Yeah no kidding... I am really impressed at how they waited until they left the country to sound off! If they had tried that in America they would have been booed off stage.

damn right! i hated clinton. he destroyed the military during his time in office. he also helped make it harder for men who are not members of minority groups to get anywhere.

[thenark]

There are people who dont believe that elvis or hitler are dead, some people will refuse to believe that the holocaust happened. So i spose that some people will think saddam is still alive hiding out somewhere long after he is dead. I think its a moot point really, it doesnt matter if he's dead once the war is won

ignorance will definitely lead to one's downfall.
and normally, ppl choose to be ignorant because of self-pride or simply stubborn; refuse to accept the truth and move on.
secondly, those ppl who are ignorants are simply because they don't understand even you tell them everything.

so which sides are you in. :)

and also please note that when knowledge comes to your head.
pls don't accept everything. your head is not like a rubbish dump.
you should only accept knowledge or information that passes into your head, provided the knowledge or information you know is come from a reliable source or from a wise and experience person.
Not from someone or someplace that is not trustworthy.
OTHERWISE u will lead to wrong decision-making.

and all along i read TIME and i trust whatever knowledge and information it gives. i know once Former INDONESIAN President Suharto sues TIME for bringing fake information about his corruption scandal.
in the end, his plan BACKFIRED. he is being forced to pay compensation to TIME for tarnishing its reputation.
so in conclusion, what lies you say will come back twice to you.
