Harrison’s Highly Critical, Judgemental, Elitist Rants Presents: Strong Opinions

Allow me to explain what I’m talking about before dismissing me as hypocritical: Strong opinions without a good foundation.
Here’s what I originally wrote on twitter: Everyone has such strong opinions on the economy, immigration and health care without knowing how any of these fucking systems work
I am so goddamn fucking sick of seeing my age post about the immigration bill and about Obama and the law and anything vaguely political. I know these people, and they are fucking dumb. The large majority of you out there don’t have a good understanding of how any of these systems work. I completely admit that I don’t understand how the economy works, or how healthcare works, or how immigration works, but I’m learning. How? Public Radio. A completely neutral news source which attempts to explain how the world works without presenting their opinion as the only option. If you get your information from Fox News, I have a difficult time respecting your opinion at all. They feed you your opinions and a completely one-sided view on how the world works. Everything becomes political, from the economy to health care, to alternate lifestyles (whatwith the gays). Now, if you know how the world works, and you’re simply watching Fox News objectively, then I can understand that, but the fact of the matter is that that’s probably not happening–it’s a terrible network to do that with. They feed on your paranoias and take small truths and blow them out of proportion using the slippery slope argument–which is a giant fucking logical fallacy.
Any of you who take one side strongly, whether it be protesting SB 1070 or shooting Mexicans, look at both goddamn sides first. Both sides have good points and their good ideas. It’s to easy to lose yourself to the bipartisan bullshit that the media is feeding you. And by media, I include facebook too. Like I said, I believe that most of the people I know who use facebook to voice their opinions and entirely uneducated on how immigration/healthcare/politics works. It’s really easy to do this. Most of the information out there, anywhere, is one-sided and extensively uses the continuum fallacy (practically synonymous with the slippery slope argument–that there is no middle ground, that your 2 options are for or against something).
One of the biggest problems that seems to cause this issue is our political system. With only two political parties, (I know there are others, but let’s pretend they don’t exist since they don’t for all practical reasons) we have politicians out there who want to make a difference. Let’s just assume, for the sake of argument, that all of them out there wish to do what’s best in the world. In order to move up in the world, they have to align their views with their political party. This makes it extremely difficult for any politician to stray away from his party’s political views, and if their terms are fairly short, and an opponent starts the campaign process as soon as one election ends, the only choice for everyone is to keep campaigning. There are a lot of flaws in the system, and we haven’t even gotten to the corruption yet, not that it affects everyone as much as you’d think. Classifying all politicians as completely self-motivated and corrupt is just as stupid as only listening to one side or closing yourself off from learning about the issues because there exists biased information out there. In order for a politician to keep an office, he has to stick to his party’s values, which drastically reduces the possibility for free thought and new ideas.
Look, we are all going to have our own opinions, and we can’t always help them, but PLEASE go educate yourselves before ranting about something which you really don’t understand!
All of these links will help you understand what the fuck is ACTUALLY going on in the world, and how to get through the shit that you’re being fed from other media outlets:

Best jam ever. Best listened to through a fine set of headphones so you can hear everything. Only so many drummers out there can sound quite as mad as Crumb Bandit. He’s like a mad scientist, this one.

Just read this, and I laughed because it’s so straight forward:
However, there are a few situations in which your loan may be discharged and your repayment obligation cancelled or forgiven.
You die.
You become totally and permanently disabled and meet certain additional requirements.
There are some more, but I thought I would demonstrate how straightforward “You die” was hahaha

You see all these people out there actively trying to convert people into Christianity or any church, all of which are incredibly corrupt and rely on false premises. Why aren’t there groups out there actively, yet unaggressively/reasonably talking to people about faith outside of God? Or about just being good people and not expecting reward?
Just a thought!
