It makes me want to go to the middle of nowhere and stay away from humans. I’d rather trust wild animals over humans any day.

I have similar feelings even while being a member. If people were dogs, I could appreciate them more. But we as humans need other humans. We just don't 'need' the blackside. Well, maybe we do. Maybe we 'need' it for development.

I have a healthy scepticism and disrespect of the media, so tend not to be influenced by it at all. I am usually even sceptical of the so called facts of what is being reported.

It doesn't affec....One of us, One of us, One of us. 😉

I'm sure there's a tune with that.

Is there? I'll look.

There's a documentary with that title.

Mostly, it makes me have to deal with greatly misinformed persons, who don't practice critical thinking, a lot more often. I stopped spending all that much time on Facebook and now spend most of my internet time here instead.

I like it here as well. It's comfortable.

Critical thinking can be more actively taught, that's for sure. How should we do it?
