Reply #54: a complete lack of critical thinking

[treepig]

is exactly wrong with this country

there are far too many people who refuse to analyze the information out there - instead they stick their heads up their asses and take the attitude, gee, the dems are saying one thing, the repubs another - who knows what's factual - it's probably all politics anyway.

wrt to the question of WsMD, why did 95% of the world not come to the conclusion that they posed a threat to anyone? i submit because they did their homework and figured out what side to "believe."

i have no idea where you're coming from when you posit that it's arrogant to believe only one side. rather, when one side has the "truth" on its side, why shouldn't this side be believed and the other side shunned? that's not arrogance, it's common sense. i'm really sick of the complete laziness of persons who just muddle along "believing" any bullshit that's run out by fox news and other propaganda arms of the gop.
