What is thinking and why can't people do it?

Question

I define thinking as What why where when and how. Ask that and you are thinking but some choose not to do that. They parrot out what they were taught to recite and god help you if you contridict it. Freedom comes at a cost - bigger than haveing the nicest tank - when you hear a view do you just jump on a band wagon ? Then you are a nazi just waiting for a charismatic leader (maybe Bush). If your head is so far up the flags *** then your not thinking your reciteing. By the way Christopher Columbus didn't discover America but if you want the grade then I guess he did.

I like my country I think we have done a lot of good things but when I get to the point where I believe everything the PM's office says or the oposition I think it's time for a one way walk into the woods.

Question everything Who what why when how etc ....your intelect will govern the type of things you see and question and it will also govern what kind of answers you get but at least you will be thinking.

What is the US equivilant? What is a republican/democrat?

Answer 1

ur not thinking u dumbo (im juss playin)

Answer 2

US Conservatives are generally Republican and liberals are democrats. I agree with most of what you're saying. I believe the public school system in American is great at teaching kids WHAT to think, but it is rare that kids come out knowing HOW to think. However, I would hardly call President Bush a nazi, or a charismatic leader for that matter (though I like most, but not all, of what he does).

Answer 3

Schools need to teach reasoning ,problem solving and ask open ended questions allowing some debate, we all do not need to be "just another brick in the wall" Any kid that wants to speak out and ask the why questions is a disipline problem and is punished, We are taught what to think but not how to think,

Answer 4

Republicans can't think for themselves, they have been brainwashed by evangelical preachers for the past 70 years. Liberals have to do all the thinking, Conservatives just read scripts or recite.
