its because Rush told them what to think, zero critical thinking skills

In my entire life I've never been to a thanksgiving or Christmas and heard political or religious talk. Most people used to have a bit of restraint about that silliness. Today people forget real life isn't twitter.


My dad used to always tell me.. There are two things you never discuss in public "politics and religion". I stick to that rule, but in the story I told in this thread, that was an instance where I felt like someone had to say something. Its at a family Christmas party an just because no one is saying anything doesn't mean people want to keep listening to someone go on and on.

In fact, he was making it awkward for everyone. But people need to realize it is okay for people to have different views than you have and you are not going to convince people to share your views by going on and on about them..

I told this story on here a few times but I used to work with this dude who used to go to his truck and listen to Rush on his lunch break.

And at some point, if you talk to him multiple times a day he would say "it reminds me of what Rush said the other day....."

He really did use to hang on every word Rush said and that shite was annoying AF.

Please elaborate on how your critical thinking skills are so much more evolved than others as I’d like to reach your level..what’s your secret or what educational training should I pursue?

start by turning off any news or radio talking heads that tells you what you want to hear.

That's step one, once you do that, we'll proceed with step two.

Read the WSJ and a People if it has pics of Kate Beckingsale, don’t listen to Rush and don’t watch FOX except for Bret Baier..Conservative by nature, libertarian socially..just curious on what’s your number one political issue as I agree with nearly all your posts on other forums..
