Today I'm one of your crackpot university lecturers that's trying to grab your attention by asking you random questions, waiting 'til you actually ask the correct one... "What are you talking about?" Regardless, the topic of today's thread is: What does Question Everything mean? DISCLAIMER Let's get down to business this is going to be long but since I am also quite lazy, a tl;dr will be added. With the recent outburst of media lately I feel Questioning Things is becoming more relevant. However is completely subjective and shouldn't be taken too seriously. Media is the main source of information being spread to the public and is capable of manipulating and misleading news. WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT IT? Well, you could be fed lies or horrible occurrences to keep you in fear, to keep you a docile and/or distract you from the true issue. Sasuke, what is the true issue? Good question. The true issue can range from weaponry being supplied to rebels and the deal turning sour to statistics being completely fabricated. I mean it's common knowledge that 85% of all statistics are made up :lol: Now back to the media, what is/are the primary goal/s of THE BIG 3: Radio:To get listeners, get dat money from ads Magazine/Newspaper:cash moneys/to sell magazines, get dem readers Television:Viewers and obscurely MAKE DAT PAPER through adverts. Those of course are slightly dated now and with the addition of the internet everything becomes convuluted. However it is known that advertising fuels a lot of things and that's why adblocker exists, kids. WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY HERE? The point is that being truthful is not the primary goal but instead it's moolah. Now you're realising this thread solely focuses on the media but questioning things WHEN APPROPRIATE can be incorporated into real life. Just find openings, maybe when someone is telling you a rumor. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why did you make this thread? I feel this is an important subject and that you (the reader) shouldn't just take things at face value and instead understand the issue by questioning. What's with the continuous threads? Boredom and need to interact with my KaWmunity, and hopefully bring about intelligent discussion. Why is tl;dr lame? This thread was improvised as was the too long; didn't read comment. Be glad I even put one on this thread Why should I even care? Exactly don't just accept this. You understand the entire point of the thread. Congratulations. What if I hate you and your stupid thread? Don't post or post but be prepared for a discussion, argument or inc However if you try to derail... What's your next thread about? Wait a day or two and I'll come up with something. But I might be dissing a player. Isn't this just your interpretation of what "Question Everything" means? Yes, so present yours. Tl;dr media is corrupt and just how much is untrue But sasuke, you is also the media ~Sasuke_Uchiha
Are you telling me that people just go onto the Internet and social media just to LIE to us? Jeez, check your facts; everything on the Internet is true.
The power to question is the power to change. More and more people are finally starting to think for themselves and they are questioning things. Its something scary for the people that have stuff to hide. Its kinda like when we were young and our parents would always tell us "Don't ask why, just do it." I always hated that answer with a burning passion. Because i was given a brain with so much wonder in it and I was shut down for trying to find answers. Thats all humans have done in our existence. We want answers so we ask questions. And we always just end up generating more questions. Thats the beauty of it. Never stop questioning. Its your power.

Orange because the surface area of the sun is equal to the line of scrimmage between Bon Jovi and Weird Al.
^and this is where I tell you both to stay on topic What are your opinions regarding "Question Everything"?
On a serious note; it's important to question things, however, that does not mean you are more knowledgeable than an expert. Know your bounds and don't make an ass out of yourself. Basic rules of conduct.
How true... "...Now you're realising this thread solely focuses on the media but questioning things WHEN APPROPRIATE..." I agree completely.
Fox 12 never lies. We give you WHAT you want to hear, WHEN you want to hear it. By the way, I was paid to say this.
Lol, I like that. Fox news has been protrayed by a couple of mediums for bending the truth and being patriotic about it (video games, movies)
