Well, it is 11:25am here and I'm just waiting for Tim to get home for lunch. It's a quiet day...I'm not a big fan of Wednesdays. They are always boring. :)
It is about 70F outside right now with only a bit of a breeze. I liked it better when it was cold and blustery because then it ALMOST felt like fall. The thing that helps is we seem to be in a patch of trees that actually change color and lose some of their leaves so it is nice to look out the kitchen window at a bright yellow tree and have leave blowing around, piling up in our yard.
I was looking the other day through videos on youtube after I posted mine there, and came across a bunch of anti-American, conspiracy theory videos. It's kind of scary to see how many there are, and how many people comment on them. Being who I am, I couldn't keep my fingers silent and posted a couple comments which led to a debate I am now in. lol. What strikes me as odd is how quickly these conspiracy theorists dismiss anyone who disagrees with them by calling you an "indoctrinated, right-wing ignorant". I think it's their version of "Just because"...okay that need explanation. In my logic class we spoke of logical debates and arguments and the professor pointed out that you know you won the argument/debate if your opponent says "just because" or something along those lines. These conspiracy theorists I have been debating with have little or no evidence or facts to support their beliefs - just opinions by other well known conspiracy theorists. They also seem to throw something at you like it is proof of what they are saying, when in actuality it is a quote taken out of context etc. So if you can get someone to attempt to dismiss everything you say by calling you an indoctrinated, right-wing ignorant to shut you up then you have a "just because" in my opinion. :)
Well, Tim is home so off I get.
