"BeardedBruce - with all due respect, in this, and numerous other threads, I believe you have been repeatedly distorting a point that SRS tried to make some weeks ago in another thread. It's not hypocritical at all to carefully consider the source of an assertion. In fact it is required for critical thinking. ..... SRS never told you you weren't entitled to your opinion - only suggested that she was disinclined to unquestioningly accept "facts" from your source. "
I beg to differ. I was told that there was NO NEED to even look at the facts I had presented, because of the source. I pointed out that I try to look at all the viewpoints presented, because ALL sides will only report those points that show their side in a favorable light. SRS refused to even consider discussuion of the facts I had brought up- even though they were of UN statements, by UN personnel. As I said, the source was not sufficiently "pure". And SRS has repeatedly told me that I am not entitled to my opinion- please look at the postings.
