*geek mode: BP dislike* But how good is your physics? And you kould like use spellchecka *disengage geek mode*
You raise a very good point... the media is highly inaccurate and focuses on ratings not accuracy and information.
Re: Are we really all that dumb
Why are mentioning me in that irrelevent post about physics Pape? ~:confused:
Who cares what the media says? If we want the truth we should look at the people who are in power and what they say with great judgement. Also I think we should outlaw those cheatsheets politicians read from. If you are a polititcian the least you could do is memorize or make up your lines as you go along. That's the best way to see if they really mean what they say.
Don't get me wrong, the news is good if you want to know what has hapened somewhere but when they involve themselves in politics things get messy. I don't think they should themselves give the information, I think they should either make funny jokes about them(ie. Jon Stewart) or if they can't do that, to shut up. ~D ~;) ~:eek:
Re: Are we really all that dumb
Because you dislike Physics.
Also because I have a bias in rating intelligence towards those who seek knowledge and information.
