NOUN

1. a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge: Oxford Dictionaries · © Oxford University Press  

. You have heard it all before.. "Opinions are like assholes. Everybody's got one".  "You ain't smart enough to have an opinion". and a favorite of mine from Drill Sargent Burlington. "Soldier, If the Army wanted you to have an opinion they would issue you one".

We are slapped in the face every day with a barrage of opinions from every corner. Yes, It is someones opinion that you SHOULD take your family to Olive Garden and yer not a good person if you don't. Advertising is just an opinion. Marketing is a tool to push an agenda. Im not picking on Olive Garden. Im calling them all out.. We are marketed to in the hope that we would be swayed to increase their profits... I get that. I've been on both sides, as a consumer and as an advertiser. But its just an opinion. Not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.. Think about how many times the car manufacturers have told you that without "Their" product you aren't living up to your potential. YOU DESERVE,,,, that new truck.. Thats just their opinion. and this is just mine. They are motivated by profit.

Everyone has an opinion. but there was a time before social media when most of us kept our opinions to our selves.. Through the magic of facebook we can get the opinions of everyone. This past week a woman ductaped a dogs muzzle. Why.? I have no earthly idea. not something I would do but thats not my point.. my point is this, A gadzillion people took the time to give their opinion about it. So many gave an opinion about it that it became a global news story. I guess that everyone in the world now knows that this is unacceptable behavior. The South Daytona Police Dept. was so overwhelmed with calls and emails that it effected the level of service that they could provide. (side note. She doesnt live in South Daytona). A stupid mistake that has put her under the microscope of scrutiny. I hope she is strong enough to weather the storm. I don't know her. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. People concentrated on the dogs well being and gave no consideration to the human life that they were berating. one comment was, "she should be beat". well who the fuck are you to pass judgement.and promote a punishment? What kind of human are you.? You are common unfortunately. and then you continued scrolling.

We have entered a time where everyone on this planet thinks that they have a news studio.

on their laptop and an audience that they wish to inform the masses.

We have broadcast capabilities. some push for a bigger audience and some achieve that 

goal. The part that is missing is the integrity of the broadcast. Checking facts and sources of 

information. Yes. when you share a link you are saying, "This is what I believe". Yes, there is

room for humor and satire but to desimenate false information is morally wrong.. We are 

creating a monster. The character of the beast is this. "I don't know who can be trusted 

anymore". 

And then there is this guy...

killed three, wounded nine. Why.? "No more baby parts"... thats what he was quoted as 

saying.. Here is my version of the story.

HEADLINES. 

Three killed, Nine injured by crazed gunman.

A man born in America, who looks crazy, did some crazy shit.. After watching a Fox news 

story about Planned Parenthood being funded by the US government and selling baby 

body parts, this dude goes berserk. He drives 65miles from his home and opens fire on

a health clinic. He is quoted as saying, "no more baby parts". we also report that he enjoys 

freaky sex.. now to the weather..

WTF.?

I'm not saying what he did was right, far from it.. 

He believed Fox News and acted upon the news..

A few points to consider..

why is the federal government involved in supporting any social services? its a state issue 

that should be voted on by the people. If the people in your state don't agree with your 

opinions, you can move.. We are United States. Not identical states.

Is Planned Parenthood really selling body parts.? If so, Fox news should be showing video

of PP"s board of directors being hauled off in chains. I'm pretty sure that selling body parts

is illegal. 

can we actually trust that the news is truth and not just some corporate opinion.? 

there are 6  corporations that control almost all of the media..

here are a few headlines I've read today.. and I have no clue whether they are true or not.

you tell me.. 

California signs Law allowing Illegals to vote.

Marine Veteran tries to escape cold, wind and rain but Walmart refuses to let him in.

Man loses lawsuit claiming BMW motorcycle gave him an extended erection. 

 

    OPINION might be harmful to others.. Opinions are not necessarily based on

 facts or knowledge.

 Be kind to one another

until we meet again.
