I have to agree with each rationale.

The dumbing down of America is reaching epic proportions. People can't spell or form a coherent thought and state succinctly a point of view. Instead, they just blurt out the most contentious comment possible to get the party started. :eek: Smh.

Thoughtful debate is a dying art in some of these parts. ;)

What?! ...I'm msndrstood.

From what I've read, you're hardly guilty of dumbing down.

Now getting the party started, well...

:cool:

Wizard's First Rule is the one I find most annoying of all. In my mind when stupid and logic meet, logic should win; but it seems that because people are stupid and that they are not vigilant against misinformation, the more they reassure themselves that either the stupid or the lie are correct, and the more willing they are to become defensive. I don't get why saying, "oh, I was wrong... interesting!" or "hmm, that makes a lot of sense, let me consider it... okay, but what about ____" are considered negative things to say. As if somehow not being born with an undying and unchangeable opinion is a fault.

As is 'evolving' in one's opinion about something. It is a sign of intelligence if you receive new facts and reform an opinion based on those new facts. I don't know how we got to the point we are now when dogma and doctrine rule the day with absolutely no room to re- evaluate one's position based on new and factual information.

And when science is scorned... Oh Copernicus, we hardly knew ye. :rolleyes:
