Has anyone here seen a good political question that wasn't a loaded question with incorrect facts and typos?

Question

I guess I was pretty ignorant of facts when I was younger, but it seems like alot of people who have strong political views don't know diddly squat about nothing and only repeat rhetoric that they have been fed by thier college professor, or by the boob tube. People should start thinking for themselves and ask questions that really try to get down to the facts, not just the same old rhetoric. I have yet to argue any political views, because none of the questions got any facts straight, so I end up just telling them the facts. There are lots of good questions to ask, but the good ones are rare.

Answer 1

I think it is the tendency to 'suspend credulity' that people use for two areas of life: politics and religion. This is why most cannot discuss either area in polite society. Instead of examining what they are told with reason and basic evaluative skills, they are given the information with the corollary concept that it must be accepted whole and not questioned.

People who do analyze what they are told about either or both of these areas walk a lonely path, but at least they can discuss it in polite company without coming to blows over 'beliefs'!!!

Answer 2

I concur. The real questions and answers are quite rare, compared to the name-calling, straw man bashing, and other childish nonsense that goes on here. Considering the number of important issues that are genuinely debatable, it is a shame that the site is usually awash in garbage instead.

Answer 3

This isn't a good political question, and it's a loaded question. Practice what you preach.

Answer 4

Nope, I think you are the only one so far!! Yay for an intelligent question!!!

Answer 5

A few.
