NEW POST IS "WHATS THE POINT ?"

[newstart2380]

What's the point of posting here is all some can do is ridicule and criticise ?

You invited comment, didn't you? Did you expect everyone to agree with the OP? If that's the case, you should state it in the OP and skip the part about inviting comments and raised eyebrows. That's my thoughts on the matter.

i'll ask clair to pray for you.

If an OP is provocative/inflammatory then responses are

likely to be couched in like terms.

I really don't think its personal I think people were trying to point out that the article is not legitimate.  These emails and FB posting do their rounds.  Always check the source.

hey, c'mon Newstart, don't be so sensitive!

You've done the same yourself on other's posts!

Overall I feel your posts relevant, so don't slink away all hurt.

Double-check your source. If you find it too unbeleivable, it usually is.

That's not to always to say it's not true lol.

I invited discussion, objective comments, thoughts and all there was, was a lot of anger which is OK but hey not directed at me. I did not do a search on the authenticity of the email as it was from a friend nor did I check the original supposed "speech" was from a reliable source.

Thanks for your thoughts, at least they were constructive and not destructive.

Assumption is the mother of all stuff ups, Newstart. Never EVER assume something you read in an email must be true simply because it was sent by a friend. How many friends have you resent this particular one  to? will they also assume it's true?.

The point is make your subject of your thread something non-fiction that people will want to comment on. Not some made up garbage doing the rounds from FB or emails.

Do you think that no-one else sees these types of manufactured biased dribble before you do? Most people hit the delete button when they find them in their emails.
