Yep. Opinions are like - well, you know. Everybody has one.
It's just a shame that so many 'opinions' are so easily expressed, especially when the opinions expressed are expressed from people who don't know beans from cornbread.
In other words, (for those who don't understand the difference between beans and cornbread), my wish would be, if you are going to express an opinion about a controversial topic, or any topic for that matter, before you open your mouth and your brains fall out on the floor and you show the rest of the world how ignorant you really are, you should educate yourself on the matter before you spout off and say something stupid.
If you have something to say, please make sure it's something of value, instead of something that is going to offend everybody here.
As the statement to the left of (EVERY) discussion(s) states; Please be as descriptive as possible - The more details you provide, the more likely you are to receive responses to your discussion (and comments). Whereas, if you just blurt out something that doesn't make any sense or you make a statement or comment that is sure to get people upset, then you best be ready for chastisement and ridicule.
Educate yourself people, before you start discussions or make comments you apparently know nothing about, unless that's why you're here to begin with; just to start disagreements.

While some might try 'my dear',,,,the point is, some people tend to make opinions on certain issues they really have no clue about. That's the point I was making. I didn't say anything about what people say not being important. I only recommend that in some cases, before responses and comments are made and in some cases discussions, some people should 'educate' themselves on the issue beforehand, before they make comments they don't know anything about.
It certainly goes without saying if we don't want to read a discussion or respond, we don't have to, but when you read certain discussion or comments, you can't help (sometimes) but see the evidence, plainly, some people just don't get it, and they respond to things without having knowledge of the issue. Such is the case. It's not a matter of not being 'as educated as I",,,,,when it's so easy to investigate or research an issue or topic, now is it?

i totally apologise for the way i worded that. i should probably just said that younger, newer people can get so enthusiastic (may not spelled that right) for making money that they just go hanky panky with throwing out these things. there are a few i noticed on here that really are just about the money. lol

Hi Mom,
This is the truest thing ever. I have had the experience of opening my mouth before I knew what I was talking about, but learned my lesson. So I would rather not say anything at all if it's going to make me look like a total idiot. It's easier just to keep my mouth shut. LOL But yes everyone does have an opinion and whether it's right or wrong what can we do other than tell them that "Hey you are a "maroon!" The important thing is that we do know that they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

Some are victms, some are attackers, some are nice, some are looking for money, some want to help. I just choose the group I want. I am not a psychiatrist so I take off the victms, I do not want to be anyone's refferall so I do not answer to money referrals or else. I like money but I just keep cool. I love the nice ones and people that I see that want to help. LOL
