The Towers fell 9/11/01 : fact, only one way to interpret that.

The Constitution is not based on fact and is a belief system. That can be interpreted, thus the SCOTUS.

I've wondered about this since I've started reading and posting on this forum.

A question for factual information is asked and answered. But posts keep coming giving incorrect responses or just somebody's opinion of what the anwer should be.

What's up with that ?

Hmmm! Your facts may not coincide with my facts. I always try to let readers of my post know when it is "just my opinion, of course".

Some of the time my posts are fact based, facts as I interpret them to be. Does that mean "my facts" are always right and someone else's are wrong?

There is a reason there are 9 Justices on the Supreme Court. They all read/hear the same "facts(?)", but?? I don't believe all 9 agree that often.

In regards to your question: "what's up with that"? Life is full of differences and that is why I have so much fun living it. Relax/Enjoy!

Speaking of truth and is it really truth?
The media slants things to look the way they want them portrayed. Sometimes even editing video to change what a person says. Happened this month to a candidate, the station has yet to admit it and apologize. Comedy channels also are changing what you may think is the truth by creating skits mocking people. These comedian's are shown in costume acting as the person they are mimicking. If you view these clips over and over ,many times people believe the real person has said them.

Who really said " I can see Russia from my house? Sarah or Tina.
oh please, every one knows that was Tina Fey. No one thinks that Sarah said that - however, most sane people can BELIEVE that it sounds like something Sarah would say, that is why it was so funny. Sarah has a ton of things that she has said that were more absurd that what Tina wrote.

Sarah is comedy GOLD. Just like The Donald.

No. Just like the hil-ary.
Tuesday’s World News with Charles Gibson showed clips of an interview between Barbara Walters and Sarah Palin which will air on Friday’s 20/20. At one point, Walters seemed to allude to the fact that there is a misconception that Palin once claimed that “I can see Russia from my house,” during the 2008 campaign, as evidence of her foreign policy experience. But Walters did not clearly identify those words as part of the famous Saturday Night Live skit as they were uttered by Tina Fey playing Palin to parody what the Alaska governor had actually said in an interview with Gibson from September 2008. Walters:
On the business of “I can see Russia from my backyard,” what you did say to Charlie Gibson was that there were places in Alaska where one could see Russia. Do you still feel that Alaska’s proximity to Russia from whatever place you can see it, is significant foreign policy experience?
As Gibson and Palin discussed the conflict between Russia and Georgia, Gibson had asked last year, "What insight into Russian actions particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of this state give you?"
Palin responded: "They're our next door neighbors. And you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska."
The clip on Tuesday which showed Walters bringing up this issue could have been more direct in stating clearly to viewers that the real Palin never stated that “I can see Russia from my house,” or as Walters misquoted the SNL line, “I can see Russia from my backyard.” There is evidence that many voters attribute the SNL line to the real Palin, so it would have been appropriate for the former 20/20 anchor to have said something along the lines of, “Because of the infamous SNL skit, there is a misconception that you once claimed that you had foreign policy experience because could see Russia from your house."

Conservative filmmaker John Ziegler has previously demonstrated that some voters mistakenly believe that Palin actually said the words from the Saturday Night Live skit, as shown by his interviews with some Obama voters last year - See more at: http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/brad-wilmouth/2009/11/18/abc-brings-i-can-see-russia-my-backyard-pa...

yeah, CONSERVATIVE filmmaker - think he has a BIAS? Sure he does.

And again, COMEDY GOLD from Sarah. her foreign experience was with Putin raising his head over their airspace - hahaha

Noel, not necessarily. Seems like an opinion can be fact based. I feel the key word in many that disagree, is "interpretation".

Just my humble opinion of course. =^..^=
