Sorry about my poor comment grammar. <br /><br />This might be a problem. I have alot of people who read my work (I have a high time on site), but no comments. This leads me to think that 'm presenting my work as fact. Plus, I'm a noob, I just graduated from High School. I don't have any really experience. But, that's why I took AP Stat. I now understand the studies I read. But still, AP Stat is basic, I feel I need to know so much more before even expressing my opinion. Maybe having an about me page will allow my readers to see that I am a noob.Aron Sorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09327072976517417107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-69641954479281125332009-06-19T14:40:13.692-05:002009-06-19T14:40:13.692-05:00Wait, Shakespearemom and Stephanie--if we all star...Wait, Shakespearemom and Stephanie--if we all started examining our deeply held belief systems, we would see a massive re-evaluation of society. Societal structure (based, as it is, on widely-held beliefs) would collapse. The people would become amoral, because they wouldn't have society to tell them what to do, and anarchy would ensue. People would start eating each other.<br /><br />That is what religions try to tell us, anyway.<br /><br />For Aron: There is no harm in speaking your opinion. The problem comes when you pretend that it is fact. Unfortunately, so few people understand the difference. <br /><br />There is also the minor problem of being certain that your SOURCES are not misleading YOU. That requires a level of understanding of the subject--for instance, knowing how/why a medical study might not quite really say what the media claim that it says requires an understanding of how those studies are done, such things as compounding variables, and probably a certain level of anatomic/pharmacologic/biochemical understanding.<br /><br />I would simply suggest that you refrain from opining about areas that you have no reference point to thoroughly understand. For instance, Jenny McCarthy SHOULD NOT be running around the country talking about vaccines. She's an actress, and not even a very good one.The Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15157821003454766570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-56841054562325753162009-06-19T12:33:02.316-05:002009-06-19T12:33:02.316-05:00As someone married to someone severely dyslexic (a...As someone married to someone severely dyslexic (and knowing Aron is as well), I tend to cut a lot of slack for phonetic spelling mistakes. It impresses me how well they can communicate despite their challenges.<br /><br />Perhaps I should have corrected it, but that would be my error for not doing so.Stephanie Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-65472817731847328082009-06-19T11:32:34.309-05:002009-06-19T11:32:34.309-05:00Is Miss Leading looking for Mister Follows?Is Miss Leading looking for Mister Follows?Doctor Faustrollhttp://drfaustrollwritesthewrongs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-89218883847797134542009-06-19T10:40:46.739-05:002009-06-19T10:40:46.739-05:00In my experience, some people care more about bein...In my experience, some people care more about being "right" than being correct.

If something is true, questioning it will likely only prove it truer, and if something is false, I'd rather know outright than walk around for years with the delusion.Dr. Cheryl Carvajalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323455180953109460noreply@blogger.com
