My opinion, and how I have raised my son, the internet isn't necessarily all bad, since it can be a great source for information. What I taught my son is to critically think for yourself and don't trust one source of information. And to look for the bits of truth in different sources and to bring those together to help form your OWN thoughts on a subject. As for social media (FB, Twit, etc.) those are usually cesspools and to tread lightly.

Are you being obtuse? Yes...yes you are...you know what word.

Man...okay Rasta...take it how you will...can't explain my point any further for you to understand...you don't understand it and won't...I am not mad...I am not saying the things you think I am saying....and you will continue to hate Jordan...go for it...I truly don't care.

Yay...who doesn't love changing meaning of words to fit a narrative....so fun!!!

Go ahead Plasi....it's obviously fair game for people to give their opinions on the matter.

No...I am not saying any of what you are implying....once again you are making my point...most people on this BBS have no clue... If you do...you are a relative...you know more than most...I respect that...most people are not even remotely close to being in that boat yet have opinions like butt holes

So my guess is that about 80% of the US stands with Israel...man, the US must be a terrible nation for doing so according to some of you...aka Israel deserves their innocent people getting murdered. Again, I would like people to actually answer the question...would you rather have Israel or Humas governing the people over there?? Simple question... Or how about this...do people believe Humas is a terrorist organization?

This is exactly my point...we...me included...do this all the time...you read an article that says the victim (who I have all the sympathy in the world for) said Jim Jordan knew...what I typically do in these situations is try and use deductive reasoning asking myself did Jordan truly know (based on Jordan's comments) or did the victim assume Jordan knew? That is all. I am NOT saying I believe Jordan and don't believe the victim...I'm saying people are going to choose who they believe based off of politics...that is sad. Maybe Jordan did know and he is a POS if he in fact never said anything and it kept happening because he didn't say anything...but based on what is being "reported" and different parties comments on the situation, I'm not sure. And this has nothing to do with whether I agree with him politically or not. Jim Jordan could have not know, have the best policies ever to come out of the senate, cure cancer, and people would hate him.

Exactly...people make up a narrative in their mind based on politics. No one on here has a freaking clue what actually happened and even if presented with evidence that Jordan did or didn't say something people wouldn't believe it because he is a deplorable R. SMH....

Your mom sounds like my dad! Things he has zero experience with, coaching, wrestling, football, my job, etc. he has no problem lecturing me about them ALL THE TIME!! LOL

Couldn't agree more!! Run into the same thing all the time in my profession.

While I agree with your sentiment @nhs67, people in a certain field can in fact be terrible in that field and have completely asinine views. Everyone has an opinion, and everyone has an a@#hole, and sometimes they both stink. I am neither directing nor not directing that comment to anyone on this thread.

Right here is the problem...so technically this may be true, but you are focusing on Israel and not what Humas is and always have been about as NOT war crimes?? SMH War is always terrible and both sides end up being at fault in one way or another, but to defend Humas for what they stand for and what they do everyday, and put all the blame on Israel is absolutely despicable.

Man...some of you make my head and heart hurt based on your take of things....let me ask this simple question, who would you want in control over there...Israel, or Humas??

You better be careful Plasi...you are starting to sound like one of those deplorables

I don't think anyone on here condones anything that is happening over there...the only one condoning anything is you!! War sucks! War is sad! But for God's sake please stop crying and spewing this b.s. and that Israel deserves it. The innocent people in Israel don't deserve it nor do those in the Gaza strip!!

Wow....

Yes it is

Ironically, I wasn't directing my point solely at you nor calling YOU the narcissist (maybe I should have) so quit getting your undies in a bunch...again...if I had directed it at you I would have quoted you directly, like I just did. And how in the hell did I make this about me? Anyway, this is about innocent people getting bombed and killed...period. And your point isn't lost on what social media is saying as that cesspool of crap does it about every single topic...these BBS included. Reason number 63456 why I don't twitter and never read any "news" or the comments on FB.

I don't think anyone has "oversimplified" anything...pretty much everyone's take is it is super complicated and not sure how to feel. Other than the local narcisist trying to make it all about himself, people are not sure what to think. My opinion, it is just sad that in today's world there is a point where someone purposely bombs and kills innocent people...over what I can only imagine is politics/religion. And not knowing the history of the Palestinians and Israel, I can only imagine that if Iran is supporting the Palestinians than it isn't good.

What's everyone's take on this? First thing I'll say is it is absolutely horrible. But as much as I try to understand the Gaza strip I still don't understand the hate. And I hope the US stays out of it.

Man this gets old...please provide any evidence of a book being "banned". Can't wait to see how people twist the definition of "banned" again. By the way...who starts a thread like this??

The irony of hillary claiming anyone needs to be deprogrammed is not lost. And the spin people are trying to put on it as well as attacking where it is being reported is hilarious. By the way, doesn't matter which site reports it when all you have to do is watch the clip of her actually saying the very words. SMH

I noticed that too...wonder how long it last

Wait for the spin people try to put on this...LOL
