Just_a_loser 11/15/23 9:40:07 PM #8:	Tbf it is actually good advice. People should, in general, be better about actually looking up stuff on their own. Not taking someone's word for something or relying on unreliable sources giving you bad information.

BurmesePenguin 11/15/23 9:40:20 PM #9:	It's a generic conspiracy theorist line.

Notti 11/15/23 9:47:56 PM #20:	Do you own research is used by kooks and quacks. They do it because their own sources are obviously shit, even they know it. So, by not mentioning it they shield their utterly stupid ideas from criticism. They're cowards peddling stupid. It's a red flag. Other red flags: gadsden flag, libertarian, centrist, both sides, I'm not a conspiracy theorist I'm a researcher, the term conspiracy theorist was concocted by THEM etc etc. --- http://m.youtube.com/TheYoungTurks/videos Bernie>Biden>poo>Trump http://RightWingWatch.org http://reddit.com/r/BreadTube http://fb.me/OccupyDemocrats <cite>Notti posted [p:977238021] in "Do your o...
