Knowledge vs. Opinion in politics?

Question

I've noticed a broad discrepency responses from opinion based (much higher #) and knowledge based (much lower #) questions involving politics. Why do you think this is and what does it say about a people that Publius said needed to be "aspiring towards reason (knowledge)" for our federalist system to function?

Answer 1

because some ppl don't take politics seriously. So they throw some smart sounding BS out there and get 2 pts for it. Translation, the ppl are now BSing there way through life, just as the politicians have for years in office.

Answer 2

The trouble is that we always run into the spin doctoring trap of opinion based on knowledged being put through umpteen different dimensions until the original meaning gets lost in the rationalizing.

Answer 3

"many people have fought and died on your freedom to vote (and various nonetheless do - freedom isn't unfastened, it has a huge fee to pay) when you consider that this great u . s . replaced into based back in 1776." Our freedoms are consistently infringed upon and somewhat frankly, i'm ill of it. ~"That to guard those rights, Governments are instituted between adult adult males, deriving their basically powers from the consent of the ruled, --That each and every time any style of government turns into unfavourable of those ends, that's the main suitable of the folk to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its beginning on such innovations and organizing its powers in such type, as to them shall seem maximum possibly to result their protection and Happiness." you may desire to comprehend that from the assertion of Independence. government is already too great and useful. they are able to't have administration of each and everything. Our rights are infringed upon further and extra on a daily basis. A amazing author who knew our founding fathers mentioned this: "Society is produced by utilising our needs and government by utilising our wickedness; the former promotes happiness certainly by utilising uniting our affections, the latter negativly by utilising restrainng our vices" and "Society in each and every state is a BLESSING, yet government even in its appropriate state is yet a needed EVIL." (Thomas Paine 1776). Do you relatively think of that they needed a extensive government that controlled each and everything? certainly no longer!~

Answer 4

I doubt many people, especially extremists, could really say why they believe what they believe. They were just told it over and over until they thought they were their own feelings.

Answer 5

Idk but all I know is that a wise man once told me that "in order to make it in politics, you have to lie", meaning when they "offer" something new they only tell you the good of the new "law/act" but never tell the disadvantages

Answer 6

I get the feeling you will tell us.
