Discussion»Questions»Life and Society» Seems to me that folks aren't on the fence about anything these days. Where's the "maybe"? How can they be so CERTAIN about everything?
You're right. I personally never take a stand on anything until I've done the research, investigate the evidence. I question almost everything. After that's done, then and only then will I make a decision. I think that's a large part of the problem today. People just seem to accept something that someone says or does without stepping back and saying whoah, wait a minute, I need to investigate this further.
Precisely! Sometimes your side is wrong and the other side is right. But if you don't really care to know what is true and just robotically automatically accept what is told to you by "your team" then it's easy peasy breezy. Thinking/researching/analyzing/investigating is hard work. It's easier just to accept the words on the script and not question it. Sadly. Thank you for your reply Hezekiah and Happy Saturday! :)
I am not certain about anything. I am certain that in order to answer a question correctly, the less generalizing and the more specific it is, the better answer you will get.
Everyone is waiting for Trump to "make America great again". (America has been great for over 200 years) Those people on the fence should grab a paint brush and start painting the fence.
I ignore those replies because they are worthless UNLESS the "it depends" folks give me specific examples of what they mean. Otherwise ? Fuggeddaboutit! We humans NEED to make sense of our world. We see things that are puzzling/mysterious/ambiguous/confusing and try to figure out the why. Sometimes or maybe even oftentimes the "why" of today changes to something else tomorrow as more information is revealed. It's a tipsy topsy world for sure. Most of it doesn't make sense to me which is why I keep asking questions. I appreciate those of you who keep trying to come up with answers. Thank you for your reply tom! :)
