Is EVERYTHING a lie or fake these days? I don't even know what to make of either of the manifestos Christopher Dorner allegedly put out there. The "uncensored" version is wacky. Now we have this article that seems to be satire? Ughhhh...
It's really a damn shame when everything must be thoroughly researched before you comment on it.

Trouble is most of our bullshit filters are way out of calibration due to recent events that, while true, would have been previously filtered out by said bullshit filter. They had to be adjusted for incoming poltiking, and unfortunately the filter was set a little too loose. Give it a year and it'll be the new norm though.

Ok.. I don't mean to dogpile here... But how is that statement anything but proof that this woman is unfit for office? How the HELL does this women get reelected.. I don't want someone that out of touch with reality in government.
Great. Now we look like bozos. If you scroll all the way down on the story, and look on the left hand side, it says Recent Comments. The third one down links directly to this thread here at NES. ![[slap]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/025.gif "Slap [slap]")

Because there are so many people who believe whatever they are told, by talking heads, or over the internet, even when it is obviously bullshit or satire. Lazy is as lazy does.

From the article: "“Of course he knows what he’s doing, we trained him. He was also a member of the Armed Forces,” he said. “It is extremely worrisome and scary.”
Well, no shit.........and just what do you think is going to happen when there are 50,000 of this guy rampaging in this country????
These fools had better rethink their courses of action with this gun control issue lest they all be sooner or later fed to the hogs.

OK. I'm going to write up a quick 'logical thinking' how-to checklist for you guys so when you see that headline, and click on that link, you can use your deductive reasoning abilities to decide whether or not you should 'open your mouth and remove all doubt'.
Step 1: As you're reading the article, something should feel off to you. Maybe it's the way the article is written, or the things people are being quoted as saying, but something should tip you off that this is either A)too good to be true, or B) Too stupid to be true. Even if something does not seem off to you, proceed to step 2, regardless.
Step 2: Verify the source of this information as a source which is regarded as 'legitimate'. While being an illegitimate source doesn't necessarily preclude the story's truthfulness or accuracy, it is an easy step to take which will allow you to assume a certain level of integrity going in, thereby determining how deep you need to dig in order to assign a pass or fail.
Step 3: Assuming the source is something you've never heard of before, like 'The Palookaville Post' to throw out a random example, immediately begin your own verification of the legitimacy of the rest of the sites content. For example, if all of the other stories are stories that you recognize as being legitimately and properly sourced, then that's a few points toward the article. However, if the rest of the sites content contains stories with headlines like 'Drone Manufacturers Will Offer Nuclear Powered Aircraft Directly to the Public', and authors named 'Jimmy Olsentwins', you should remain skeptical.
Step 4: If at this point you still feel there is doubt, the best way to ensure that at least the source information that the article is based on is legitimate is to highlight a quote and google it, looking for all of the various other places on the net where this quote has been quoted. If the only other places that show up in a search are places where people are linking to and quoting your original article and not actually posted from other news sources, then you have yourself a verified fake article.
Enjoy your new-found powers of deduction and light research!

The funniest part is that I can actually see those idiots saying something like that.
"When the gunman realizes that nobody else is armed, he will lay down his weapons and turn himself in…. that’s just human nature.”
Not that anyone has questioned it - but this statement goes to show how out of touch with reality she is.

Wow. those people really are ****ing crazy... I mean really really crazy... If there was a cook like that running around in my neighborhood I would have my AR-15 slung across my back at all times... Turn in my guns so he'll see no one else is armed and surrender... I can't believe those cooks actually believe that bullshit.
this has got me so upset, I can;t believe elected officials are so stupid... I need a drink...
oh wait, it's not real... man, maybe i need to put the drink down...
