Welcome to the Blog

This blog is going to be dedicated to my feelings on pretty much any topic I want to write about, some of them controversial. I will set a few ground rules:


  1. This blog is dedicated to my opinion. I am not going to pretend like I am unbiased. However, I am going to take my high school history class approach and completely ban the word "biased" from this site. I will delete any and all comments that call another comment or my post biased. Anything that anyone says is biased. In fact, all the news stations that consider themselves "unbiased" are full of garbage. On the most basic level, since they can't report everything, they have picked what they think is news and in doing so shown a bias. Bias is not bad, it is just a fact. Here, I will accept that fact and then move on. There is no point in debating facts. On the other hand, what is useful and interesting is pointing out how one's experience has colored his or her perception of the world. This is not merely dismissing a point of view because of past experiences coloring perceptions, but rather discussing the strengths or limitations of a perception by taking the past experiences into account.
  2. I reserve full right to delete comments. This is my blog, not your public forum for free speech; it is my public forum for free speech. I will not delete a comment merely because I disagree with it. I will delete it if it is offensive or calls someone a name (like biased).
  3. I may reply to your comment simply with identifying a specific type of logical fallacy you used. In extreme cases, I may delete your comment for a logical fallacy.
  4. This is my blog. If you want to be in charge, get your own.
