No, wiki is not crap. It requires the reader to be discerning and check the references. Not just sit and stare with mouth open as they are spoon fed BS from common media sources. And it is your responsibility! If you see a claim or statement of fact on a wiki that does not have a reference it is up to you to mark it: Citation needed! Which is better: The talking heads of the prime time news or a wiki page with several dozen scientific sources cited?
Excellent idea. Jumpers have enough trials and tribulations without rug rats crawling around trying to smack them. They really need to make extra large critter keepers for kids.
Kidder keepers? Somebody market that, right this minute!
I'll buy a few for work.
Hate the message, not the messenger...er, um....
The sheep mentality has never been more clearly demonstrated throughout recorded history. Critical thinking has in fact become an endangered species in this social media age.
The best thing about Facebook is it serves as a junk e-mail sink. (Instead of my less savvy relatives e-mailing me something that can be debunked with a 5-second search of Snopes.com, they just post it to Facebook, where I don't see it.)
Critical thinking has never been most people's strong point. We just didn't have as many opportunities to see that weakness laid bare until social media gave everyone a large audience.
I never thought of this, but the way I avoid this is just by not giving my relatives any way to contact me. :/ I would say I just don't have relatives that send junk, but on actually thinking about it, I suspect that that is false...
