When people want to spew out emotional stands it speaks for itself.

If it was a factual statement a 'Credible Sourced' link would be provided with their comment.


And not a 'link to nowhere.' Credible is Credible. Some random person that has no credentials is not credible.

People that speak or type blindly without first hand knowledge know-that isn't impressive to people who do have knowledge of facts.

1. From personal research.
2. From college research for political science essays.
3. From spending more time exploring as many sides of the coin one could until their eyes burn-each and every day--- every free moment one gets. Hey which isn't mounds of time every day.. But it is a collective amount of time.

So it isn't impressive when someone is CAPS LOCK about non issues. Taking emotional stands as if they are in a playground fighting over which brother is bigger and better and gonna whoop the other one.

Isn't impressive the !!!!! and hahahhaaha ? h after a doesn't mean it's funny. It means you have nothing to say meaningful or debatable that someone with knowledge might find a bit stimulating to respond to.

Try throwing a credible link up after you make a stand. Source it. ?? Can't? Then you are another person riding a coat tail is how that is viewed.

Cheers-

Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Obama, Sr., a Black Kenyan of Nyang’oma Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya, and Ann Dunham, a White American from Wichita, Kansas.[1] His parents met while attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where his father was a foreign student.[2] They separated when he was two years old and later divorced.[3] Obama's father returned to Kenya and saw him only once more before dying in an automobile accident in 1982.[4] After her divorce, Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, and the family moved to Soetoro's home country of Indonesia in 1967, where Obama attended local schools in Jakarta until he was ten years old. He then returned to Honolulu to live with his maternal grandparents while attending Punahou School from the fifth grade in 1971 until his graduation from high school in 1979

what this deos not say that in indonesia..it is 80% a muslim nation. and he went to the local schools.
what do u think a ten year old boy could learn at a muslim taught school?? and ya what if he was infulenced by a radical muslim such as his stepfather...

not a chance hes gotting my vote. not today. and perhaps not in ten more years.



You did not just use wikipedia as a source..
OH my...

Everyone right now, go to wikipedia look up anything random-- dog, cat, fish.. whatever you want... then look at the top of the page the tabs--- see the tab edit??
ANYONE has the ability to edit any admission on wikipedia.. hit the edit tab.. go ahead edit dog- say it is green and jumps like a frog.. it will submit--
That is the first thing you learn in College ..
NEVER use Wikipedia as a source, Every professor tells you if you use it in a citing they won't count it is not credible, and it will be a points deduction.
During orientation in the library they take you through the computer systems and show you Wikipedia FIRST.. and say NEVER use it as a source-- then they edit a page for example..

ok, that is sourcing 101 jeez..
sourcing wikipedia-now I seen everything

At the top of their Main Home Page it says,

'Welcome to Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.
2,544,121 articles in English'


eh, I guess pay attention to the websites you visit a little more carefully. And read up on what a credible source is.

And take with you this-- you don't fool the more informed we know better.

Welcome to Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.
2,545,127 articles in English

They promote editing.... they put the edit tab on there so anyone can edit it.. they don't care, they don't expect people to use it as a 'cited resource'
