El Joffrey

4/25/15 10:03am

Cougarealist did, apparently.

BluePete

4/25/15 10:20am

why did you post a link from infowars?

El Joffrey

4/25/15 10:37am

Because the info didn't change from news source to news source. And I like to

BluePete

all it proves is you read sites like infowars.

Logic isn't your strong suit.

Of course not...this is the guy that posted a poll asking which was the better

Pro tip: maybe I'm hoping people learn how to judge content on its own merits.

Even after your last post from natural news was completely eviscerated, and

I'm willing to concede that "sometimes, the source is a really good indication

BluePete

4/25/15 12:46pm

That's a lot of questions. I feel like answering zero of them.

russkiejedi

4/25/15 8:10pm

Are you saying that you don't have to consider the source and just accept

Shimmy

4/25/15 12:21pm

LOL. What part of "judge content on its own merits" did you miss?

BluePete

4/25/15 12:34pm

I'm sure that I could find lots of websites that present all sorts of untrue

Shimmy

I consider the source on all content that I read on the internet.

Shimmy

We're closer in agreement than you might think.

BluePete

lpt: infowars is never a source worth reading

El Joffrey

4/25/15 2:41pm

At least shimmy has something to say.

BluePete

4/25/15 2:43pm

if you understand shimmys point you'd never link to infowars
