How many times have you read something or listened to someone or even just read a blog etc and wondered:
Does this persons IQ match his/her age?...
I sometimes wonder about some ppl, then I read their articles/blogs/papers/posts and I know for sure.....

The Left gets their facts wrong.
The Right makes theirs up.
Between them both I'd be better off watching old reruns of Robotech for my news and intellectual stimulation.
Agree for the most part, but it happens in game sites, chat sites, medical sites, and ohhhhhh my gosh even gun sites...

Right here in our own backyard.

Its usually the other way round...
I love it when a 15 year old tries to act like an adult. It's not that I have a problem with someone young on a forum, just an impostor. It becomes obvious when their life experiences aren't there to backup their strong political view.
I absolutely hate that. I see it here more than I thought I would. Especially in the past few months. Kinda like the "pond turning over".

trouble is kids are exposed to very liberal thinking in school and become brainwashed if their not exposed to an equal amount of conservative thinking. instead of being so negative, try a positive approach.
so, my idea was, instead of wasting bandwidth with pointless blogging, wouldn't it be nice to write stuff (a diary, I guess, easily saved to .txt files) so your kids can read it when they grow up so they can see what your life was like, with them growing up, when they can finally relate to it and they're interested.
Most blogs that I've read start off with something to the effect of "here's my rant". They call it a "rant" because it somehow eliminates the author's obligation to create any sense of structure in the rambling in question. The term "rant" apparently eliminates the need for intellectual integrity. This concept of a "rant" also attempts to remove any responsibilty from the author to support ideas put forth with facts or evidence. The author then typically hides behind the First Ammendment when he/she comes under any sort of criticism by someone who may look at the "rant" with any scrutiny.
The "blog" is an extension of our feel-good self-esteem-oriented society that has led to a degree of narcissism not seen before in the late-teens/early-twenties crowd. In response, I think to myself, "What makes you think anyone gives a flying rat's behind about your opinion." The whole concept of a blog seems somewhat arrogant to me. Most are a waste of bandwidth and information storage resources justified by a world that revolves around "me" and "my right to be heard". My response goes a little something like this: Are you so arrogant to think that anyone out there cares about your rant?
Here's the deal with BLOGS *IMHO*.

I have always thought that "IMHO" has the same definition as your definition of "rant."

No. It has nothing to do with my definition of "rant". It simply means that this is what I believe but am humble enough to be tolerant of the opinion of others.
