//The don't question the media the way they should.//

You don't apply Occam's razor the way you should...

But since you are clearly the font of all worldly knowledge, capable of understanding truths that are beyond the ken of us mere mortals with our feeble jellyfish intellects, why don't you go ahead and tell us exactly what we should believe? That way we won't have to think about it and risk overheating our tiny little brains. We can just accept whatever you decide is true, and outsource all our critical analysis and scepticism to you since you're so much better at it than everybody else.

Hey Loudmouth,
I sort-of understood what you were saying, but I couldn't really see at first how you overlaid that thinking onto my comment; anyway I think I get it now.
FYI, I'm not conscious of the technical ways or methods in which I write my comments and try to make my points; I mostly just write whatever comes to mind.
I do recall that another commenter (might've been you) some time ago pointed out that I'd used this method of making points in my comments before.
If I were more conscious of using these disliked writing methods, I'd probably try to avoid using them (to avoid being challenged on it) but I just don't think of it at the time I write my comment.
- Come to think of it now I think they implied I spoke like Hitler...

I thought each of my statements individually was reasonable, and there was enough accepted basis to make each point. I wasn't deliberately leading up to a hard-hitting finale, but that's just the way it came out.
-And whatever methods I use to convey my opinions, that in itself doesn't necessarily make a statement itself any more or less true.

(On the topic of Assad's alleged chemical attacks, there simply wasn't any motive for Assad to deliberately cross Obama's 'Red Line' and do so on the very day members of the UN had arrived and were there. Moreover it seems likely that Obama had created that 'Red Line' with the intention of conveying that Assad had crossed it, to 'reasonably' justify increased involvement in the war. In this scenario there may have been some co-ordination with terrorists to ensure the attack took place.)

Here's an interesting story.
Leaked Audio from John Kerry: Obama Wanted ISIS to Grow In Order To Topple Assad.

For years people like myself have taken a lot of crap just for having an opinion, and as time passes on many points we've been vindicated.

Hey Toni,
All things being equal the simplest answer tends to be the right one.
Ok, M/E nations 'Arab Spring' whilst Western nations being polarised by liberal left pc agendas using racism and immigration.
Accident or Design?

I don't have all the worlds answers.
It actually seems like the more I learn the less I know, to be honest with you.
Some topics I'm a little better informed than others and Syria just happens to be one of them.
On that topic it simply comes down to the fact I watch different news than others.
I'm not going to tell others what they should and shouldn't believe, though I'll shine a light on aspects of a story that the corporate media won't report on; as well as attempt to balance arguments that I see as biased, question things that seem hypocritical or don't add up, and have opinions on things I feel strongly about.

Hi AC,

There you go, the same logic:

"For years people like myself have taken a lot of crap just for having an opinion, and as time passes on many points we've been vindicated."

i.e. if we've been vindicated before, many times, therefore we will be vindicated on this issue.

No, it doesn't follow :( Good luck !

Joe

Hey Loudmouth,
"If we've been vindicated before, many times, therefore we will be vindicated on this issue."

But I never said that, you did.

Thanks for the language skills lesson but I'd just rather stick to Syria.
