boris1gary — Mon, 26 Jan 2015 05:18:22 GMT

seems to be the less some people know about a subject the more they have to say on it.

Totally agree.

Also, I think a lot of people react rather than think.

It's new to me, most people know one or two "know all nothings" but these days it's become a thing, I suppose social media has probably just given them more of an audience.

Yes, I agree Boris.

And then there are others who suck the oxygen out of every place they visit, but they are easy to ignore.

Having lunch today with a group of people and a medical thing came up, when I was asked what I thought I said I had nothing to say because I'm not a Dr and had no knowledge of the subject, she got really annoyed although all her "knowledge" had come from google.

Could have been worse Boris - she could have got all her 'knowledge' from the CS boards.

Looking at some of the 'contributions' she would not be on her own

Yes, I have noticed that. It amuses me, especially when asked where they got their info from, and they reply "you google it!"

If they know what they are talking about they should be easily be able to say where they got their info/facts from.

Example: The Queensland premier has accused the Labor party of accepting donations from bikies but when asked for evidence has told journalists to “Google it”.

If he knows that assertion to be true, surely he could tell the reporters who told him that /where he found it.

Who Campbell Newman? I agree, he is Premier of Queensland, he shouldn't be responding to valid questions like a child.
