seem anyway...that those with the least life *experience* of certain things so often come off as the *experts* on a given topic? spewing opinion after opinion like an 'authority' on a given topic or simply feel the need to espouse their thoughts/beliefs on a subject they know little to none about? or, when someone poses a question to a specific demographic, 90% of the respondents seem to be NOT the demographic questioned? :p



is it some sort of bizarre twist of human nature? is it the internet? :D and no, i am in NO way saying those with little to no experience or who were not directly asked to participate NOT do so - all ARe entitled to their opinions and to SHARE them, of COURSE - but i think it's a weird phenomena at best. :)



just curious....
Stay with me...
Let's just breathe...


I am myself like you somehow

    Shit... you MUST be talking about Al Gore and the whole "global warming" myth. After all he did invent the Internet.

    there's a clinical term for such people.

    IDIOTS.

    but yeah, it's mostly blowhards that feel the need to project their own ignorance on everybody else. it makes me wanna take my shoe off and start wailing on their tiny empty heads.

    i'm huge fan of humanity at the moment, can ya tell? lol

    Remember when Al Gore grew that beard? You know why he did that? In case the Taliban won. :)

    i'm glad it's not *just me* though.


    i mean hell, if someone starts a thread asking for advice for something i know next to nothing about....i don't post. simple eh? :p or, if someone is discussing a topic i don't know a lot about, or little to no first-hand experience.....i may have an opinion, and voice it...but yea, admit i don't know much about it and/or do not drone on and on with my opinion since i KNOW that it's not based on much 'knowledge'...ya know? :D

    Exactly. All politicians SUCK! Where have the leaders gone? Tell me when was the last time you voted FOR a President and not against the other guy?

    In the 6 elections I've been able to vote in I've voted FOR a President only ONCE.
