I have read several questions this morning that state things such as: given that, go with me on this, etc. that are taking unfounded or uniformed positions and stating them as if they were fact. Especially about Christianity. And many answerers go along with this.
We probably should check out heresay or bias before putting it out there and getting more misinformation.
Have you noticed this also?

Oh yes, I've noticed and have learned that it's usually pointless to respond to questions that are based on misinformation or opinion. The questioner doesn't seem to be interested in anything but approval or support for their own viewpoint. Answerer's who accept such premises seem to simply share the same viewpoint so there doesn't seem to be any real exchange of ideas or information.

If I had a dime for every bit of propaganda or ill-logic that was posted on yahoo I would be a billionaire.
BUT
Are we not all guilty, at some time or other, of making decisions based on flawed information? Are we not all guilty of ill-logic on occasion? Even those of us who research issues to death?
Interacting with people, in person, over the phone or on web boards gives us the opportunity to learn from each other and further develop our own understanding of issues.
Sure, no one is right all of the time and the more we exchange and accept each others ideas the more we learn and the more educated and logical our opinions become.
Well, for some of us that is.

Rules are made to be broken. Even on this site. It is wishful thinking but I don't see it happening any time soon.

Question everything. Believe nothing unless you are convinced.
