Anyone Else Feel Like They Fell Down The Rabbit Hole?
I can't believet the stuff I read here, both from DUers and from current and former elected officials, where they all read the same story, the same statements, and come to completely different interpretations of those things. I mean, it's not like debating an issue, where you're going to debate a resolution to something.

It's like walking into a room carrying a flower, and half the people in the room say it's a white rose and the other half say it's a yellow rose. And you're staring there going, wait, this is a tulip.

Weird, man. Weird.

3. well one thing you have to understand
reality is what you percieve it to be. we all live in our own realities because we all have a different perception about the world around us. When passion hits people will defend that reality to the best of their abilities so much so that it overrides any logic they might posses. in other words the zealotry has gotten pretty bad around here.

4. It's a wierd planet..
Humans are really fucking weird. The other inhabitants are pretty cool.

The humans have more or less taken over, so the whole planet is pretty fucking weird.

A cleansing will occur. These things are cyclic.:hippie:

6. It's called 'Confirmation Bias'
The tendency to see things in a way that confirms our preconceptions, and filter out information that doesn't.
