The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"pastorbill has reduced himself to spewing childish spit-balls." - LM

Pointing out facts to you is not a childish spitball. Just because you find that fact inconvenient doesn't make it childish. It just means you would rather use sources that confirm your worldview (even if they tell you untrue things) than a source that informs you (if it makes you uncomfortable).

That is a great way to stay ignorant but feeling good about yourself.

Somehow you are going to whine that this is an insult even though it is factual and probably the most important thing someone could ever tell you if you really cared about not continuing to wallow in ignorance.
