I do think common sense should override some of the shit the "critical" thinkers espouse at times. Deciding whether someone should live or die or if you are sitting on my jury (I have been accused of murder).....yeah, I'll take one of them there logical and critical thinkers, not those crazy emotional thinkers. Jeez.....just because someone killed their relative, doesn't mean I am guilty of murder. But I also see how an emotional thinker could let a guilty person go free because they lack critical thinking and common sense. I won't mention any names, but starts with OJ which brings me to last issue, Mr. Bill Cosby is still a POS......Think I used logical thinking before the recent announcement of him giving women drugs in 2005. Oh whatever, Cheers to all!
I wondered where you were. Good to see you.
Critical thinking doesn't mean one has to be void of emotion. It only means that one considers and analyzes objectively before jumping to or sticking to a point/position/conclusion.
Whether you like it or not, you're generally a critical thinker blueberry, IMO.
I haven't seen Lincoln yet, but it's on my list.
