It’s Not True Because “You’ve Heard”

June 29, 2008 at 11:29 pm · Filed under random, rant

Don’t even ASK what brought my little storm of writing on because I’ll explode into a million pieces and then catch you on fire.

The internet is a huge resource, literally. Kids use it for homework help. People show off graphics, make personal blogs, research, and create websites for people’s own uses.

But, what have your parents told you? “Just because Sally SAYS your hair is ugly doesn’t mean that it is!” And that’s true with the internet. If your best friend says that you can’t write worth a shit doesn’t mean that you can’t write worth a shit! (if you do then work on it! :))

And, even more so, if you find an article that says “Mr. Geeeo of oBlahBlah Inc is a mass murder BECAUSE I HEARD IT ON THE INTERNET!” then you really ought to think Gee! Where’s the proof of that? The internet? Who said it? One person? One religion? Where’s the proof behind it?

All these articles I’ve read are not full. They aren’t giving proof and calling it an argument.

So…
I’ve decided to make a contest.

Give me an article, preferably involving your views on the war-even more credit IF it’s a response to this report. I want evidence to back up your opinions (and I don’t want “I HEARD,” I want an actual piece of evidence such a picture, video, or linked quote), I want quotes (please give sources) and I certainly want it to be good.

I’ll post more info on the Contests Page. Email entries to me at jeansenglish@yahoo.com

Please me, please. ;)

    I watched the actual show. It’s amazing to read it online and then read the /comments./ This is one of them. I’m not saying I agree with this, but there are some excellent points that I’d like to make known after this. here’s the actual comment.

    ———————————————————————————————————
    Why would anyone be surprised that Muslims are murdering Christians? After all, that “excellent example” for mankind Muhammad himself was a vicious warlord who murdered, robbed, and enslaved his enemies and married a nine year old girl. The beheading we see today, was his idea. Don”t take my word for it — do your own research. That’’s why when a Danish cartoonist seeks to point out the violent nature of Islam in a simple cartoon the entire Islamic world goes on a violent rampage, proving his point beyond any shadow of a doubt. There were never tow more different human beings than Christ and Muhammad. Query: When will the media , CBS News included finally see fit to inform the public of the true nature of Islam?

    This is the part Lish pointed out. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!
    I think my point has been made.

    I’m kind of unclear on what this contest is. We’re supposed to give you an article that shows.. Our opinions? Give you an article that supports our opinion? I’m kinda iffy on this because it’s far too simple to punch holes through any argument if you try hard enough. Loopholes and the like are everywhere!

    And about my layout, thanks! :) I do love my fair share of celebs, but I do prefer having layouts I make by myself. Part of the reason is because I am totally terrible at making layouts with celebs in them, and another is just because.. I enjoy cute penguins more :D
