  1. Insanity is a matter of perspective, son.


  2. I would also just like to make clear that the site from which your article originated clearly states that they're bias. Therefore you can't state them as a source for anything.

    Their official statement on what they do: Anti-union organization which does research and provides analysis to "expose the inequities of compulsory unionism."

    The whole idea of research is to find facts. Not to prove your own beliefs. What a stupid organisation.

    Everyone has a bias. They just have the balls to admit it. As long as you recognize it there is nothing to worry about.

    I stand by my statement. Unions cant argue with right to work on the merits, so they turn to fear-mongering.
  4. Granted, they have the balls to admit it, but it does render any "research" they do completely irrelevant by default.

    There is no such thing as an unbiased source. Therefore, I guess all sources are irrelevant.
  6. Well not exactly. Many organisations do make an effort to be unbiased in their research. It's what makes certain research bodies "reputable". It can never be perfect but steps can be taken to make your research more legitimate. Your linked site is a far cry from that. They explicitly say that they're out to prove their own point of view. They therefore cannot be quoted as a source. This is fact.
  7. All organizations try to validate their own views. Its called confirmation bias.

  8. What is the point of proving something you are already sure of?
  10. Validate themselves, and discredit there foes.
  11. TOP 12 REASONS I VOTED FOR A DEMOCRAT

    1. I voted for a Democrat because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn’t.

    2. I voted for a Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

    3. I voted for a Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

    4. I voted for a Democrat because I’m way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers, rapists, thugs, and thieves.

    5. I voted for a Democrat because I believe that people who can’t tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will disappear in ten years because of Global Warming if I don’t start driving a Prius or a Chevy Volt.

    6. I voted for a Democrat because I’m not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.

    7. I voted for a Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits.

    8. I voted for a Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrats see fit.

    9. I voted for a Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution regularly to suit some fringe folks who would never get their agendas past the voters.

    10. I voted for a Democrat because I think that it’s better to pay billions to people who hate us for their oil, but not drill for our own because it might upset some useless endangered beetle, gopher, or fish.

    11. I voted for a Democrat because while we live in the greatest, most wonderful country in the world, I was promised “HOPE AND CHANGE.”

    12. I voted for a Democrat because my head is so firmly buried in the sand that it’s unlikely that I’ll ever have another point of view
