:hun: I assume this is just a random thought amongst random thoughts..................:dontknow: Must admit Dr. Phil has always seemed to have an amazing grasp of the obvious?
Everyone can have their own beliefs but no one is entitled to their own facts.
A classic example of a nuanced truth is the answer to the question "Does this article of clothing make my butt look big?"
I don't know! My brother has been a cop for nearly 20 years and he told me he doesn't believe anything he hears and only HALF of what he SEES! So, what is the truth?? :dontknow:
The truth; is what other folks will believe, when you can tell it with a straight face!I don't know! My brother has been a cop for nearly 20 years and he told me he doesn't believe anything he hears and only HALF of what he SEES! So, what is the truth?? :dontknow:
NOT A THREAD HIJACK
Absolutely true story that was, to my great joy, verified on MythBusters.
When I was sixteen my father was as dumb or dumber than a sack of hammers.
I was amazed just how much he learned after my 21st Birthday, but I digress...
We were out in the woods along a fence line and I had to pee.
He warned me that I was about to pee on an electric fence.
In an act of sheer defiance I steeled myself and let go right against the wire.
Nothing happened.
Nada.
Zilch.
Verified that the old man was indeed as dumb as I thought.
He reached over grabbed the wire and got jolted off his feet.
It seems that the, uh stream, is really a series of unconnected droplets, no conduction path exists.
Problem is, with that Dr. Phil guy, he twists opinions into facts so as to exert his opinion as fact. Person X did this....that is a fact. Person X did this therefore they must have wanted to hurt Person Y.......introducing biased opinion as a claimed fact. But it makes for good TV apparently.Everyone can have their own beliefs but no one is entitled to their own facts.
