[QUOTE="Pyro767"]Then again, what is "truth?" Many personally believe that it's whatever shows up on the TV screen or the internet. Meh, I've almost given up on politics. It's almost not worth it to stand for anything anymore.dragon7x2k

Knoll's law of media accuracy.

"Everything you read in the newspapers is absolutely true, except for that rare story of which you happen to have firsthand knowledge."

That's newspapers, I was talking about digital media. Newspapers are much more accurate, because they have hundreds of field journalists who actually go to ground 0 to get the news. However, media represented on TV or on Internet articles typically are rehashes of rehashes that wind up going through such slurs and "telephone" effects that they stray from the truth. Nah, I think newspapers are fine. In fact, I should read more of them.

[QUOTE="A_Falcies_Fancy"][QUOTE="Pyro767"][QUOTE="A_Falcies_Fancy"] i wasn't calling you a moron. read the post. "you're" in context meant "one who takes offense". the point was, causing offense isn't the only warranter of the moniker "offensive". containing actual offense is. also: i sincerely apologize if you misunderstood me. i'll try to be more sympathetic from now on. oh, and internet manners? they exist?

Amazingly enough, yes, there are supposed to be sort of guidelines on the internet. Unfortunately, no one follows them nearly as often as they should be. People should treat the internet as a public place because that's essentially what it is: a virtual place that many people can gather, so to say.

i was being sarcastic, but thanks anyway.

Well, as long as we have come to a simple understanding, things are cool.

[QUOTE="A_Falcies_Fancy"][QUOTE="Pyro767"][QUOTE="A_Falcies_Fancy"] it can be offensive if you're a moron. there's no offense in it whatsoever. its a question, firstoff, which can never hold offense, by definition.

1. I didn't say I was offended, at this point nothing offends me. 2. There are people out here who are deeply religious and feel that when you pose that question, you might be making a statement that majority of people lose faith in their own beliefs 3. The topic title is misleading and can cause a religious person who enters your room to overreact. Go home, learn Internet manners, or don't come back. Period.

[QUOTE="Pyro767"]I just absolutely stopped saying anything that may note a person's skin color. No matter what you say it can and perhaps will be interpreted as racist. Stupid people, demonizing freaking everything....Toriko42
More people are likely to be offended by the term African American than Black...

Yeah, but when it comes to the things I see everyone is offended by everything. That's why I'm just giving up and referring to everyone as "people" in public.
