Study: 38 Percent Of People Not Actually Entitled To Their Opinion
From the Onion:
"On topics from evolution to the environment to gay marriage to immigration reform, we found that many of the opinions expressed were so off-base and ill-informed that they actually hurt society by being voiced," said chief researcher Professor Mark Fultz, who based the findings on hundreds of telephone, office, and dinner-party conversations compiled over a three-year period. "While people have long asserted that it takes all kinds, our research shows that American society currently has a drastic oversupply of the kinds who don't have any good or worthwhile thoughts whatsoever. We could actually do just fine without them." |
The funny thing is I almost agree…

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

| The Onion continues to be the leader in news satire. Webpages like BBSpot, the Onion Bag, and all the other members of the Humorfeed network cannot even compare. |

Nor, sadly, can Moonscape News. Sigh.

The Onion rocks.

The Onion is the paper of record in my household.
|
What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way. - Bertrand Russell |
