Wow. What sort of schooling did you enjoy?
A higher education then yours, so what does that tells you ?


I know what DeRedactie, biassed slightly left (belgian left, not US left), was reporting. So i searched for an article that said the same.


Be a good person and find proof against what is in the article. Cause when i say "its CNN" you dont accept it as an argument either

CNN has its flaws. Definitely. But it is a major news outlet. If it brought outright fake / false news, it would lose a considerate amount of consumers. With smaller, more obscure, more attention seeking news sources, it's the other way around. The more obnoxious they are, the more spectacular they seem to be, the more readers they get.

That's why, yes, CNN is a better news source than RT. If you had enjoyed some sort of schooling in social sciences, law or media either at a high school or a university level, you would know that the very basis of being a critical reader is realising that it is always important to know who wrote what you're reading.

CNN has it's flaws is a very soft observance, I hate it when a major news outlet not only can't hide their bias in election (or any similar case) but goes and shoves their bias down your throat, very annoying.
But I agree that Russia Today is worse, most major Russian news outlets I would classify as not actual news but opinions

I agree, but the problem with Trump is that even showing just his speeches makes him look like a total retard. That comes across as if you're picking Clinton, but in reality it's just Trump making an idiot of himself.

Comments likes this makes me think maybe we're being too harsh on the likes of Zach and Andy :p

"We have no choice, we have to stop the violence from coming into our country. No one is saying that all muslims are terrorist, but we are saying that all terrorist in recent years have been radical islamist. Being politically correct and ignoring this obvious fact has cost lives, I am beyond the point of caring if some people are offended.... i care more about our lives than liberals feelings.

We have to take care of OUR people, the United States has NO obligation to take in people and care for the world..... so stop acting like its our responsibility to take in, and care for everyone.

We, the USA, has done more globally and for other countries than any other in the world... its time we look after our OWN people and saftey.

Another thought is for Muslim men to stop fleeing with women and children and actually fight for your lands as we did, hell even myself and other Americans fought for your land when even you wouldent. So...man up cupcake, pick up a weapon and take your country back."
Who said that? Trump?

Professional Bachelor chemistry option biochemistry (KDG collegue grad 2012)
Academic Bachelor Biochemistry (KDG collegue, grad 2014)
Master of science in applied engineering : Biochemistry (Antwerp University, grad 2015)


Source : Durham university

Where is law compared to biology/chemistry ?

CNN releases unverified information they know is likely fake. CNN actually has a couple of lies that you can, easily find. RT when used right, is not a worse source.


De Redactie is a reliable source for EU news. They are my source, but people dont speak dutch so i searched for an english source with the same content.

Are you sure you want to go down this path?

You seem to have forgotten wat the topic is. I have degrees in both history and law and studied Latin and Greek in secondary school. It's all fine and dandy that you studied chemistry later on in life, but that means fuck all regarding the topic at hand.

So basically, when it comes to this, you have zero education and I have plenty.

It proves very much the contrary.

Universities carry the burden of beeing accused of domminantly leftwing thinking. Especially in history majors. Take and swallow.

In scientific studies, you get used to researching stuff from unknown sources and have to determine wether they are credible or not by its content


I'd post a nice article i found in the telegraph, but thats a slightly rightwing, slightly conservative focussed MSN, so you'll reject is and name it worse then CNN :baus:

You're seriously dense.

None of this is about chemistry. Do you realise that? Do you realise that, even though you have a degree in chemistry, you might not be well versed in anything else? You're not a great football player because you know what H20 is. That's not how the world works.

And even if we would assume history majors are predominantly leftwing, lawyers are most certainly overwhelmingly rightwing. So I don't know what you're saying here. At all.

Too gullible for my taste. I'm surprised he's not a religious zealot (not srs).

He needs some humility, though. He's been handed everything in life, maybe that's why he's a dick.
I come from a poor family caused by divorce and illness. I never been outside my country before i was 15. I had to aid in financing my studies as it was difficult and quit party cause i just wanted to work. i worked for 5 years,doing 12 houre shifts as a chemical operator in a factory first and security patroll guard in brussels (yeah, also molenbeek) later.

I saved up and went back to study. I went through all my savings, had to sell my car and most furniture and take out 2 private loans to be able to finish my studies. My father died before he could see me graduate, as did my two grandfathers, leaving me as the only male carrying the lastname in the family.



Please mister upti lawyer, tell me how i've been handed everything while having had the privilege of going on holydays your entire youth

it means you can cut the gullible bullshit, and you are a history major in the first place who looked for an easy education that actually has a way of making money.

Oh please. If I had done that I would have chosen medicine years ago. Pretty much everyone in my family is a doctor. It's one of the most overrated studies and it pays tenfold what lawyers earn.

But that's all besides the point. Which is that you have no education regarding any of this and I do. You also have no sense of critical thinking. So yes, you are gullible. Incredibly so even. That you manage to survive on a daily basis almost astounds me.

And you know what? That's just fine. Because there are other people who are good at this. You don't have to be. You focus on chemistry. The people who know this stuff have got this. Don't you worry about it.

Law may not be that hard in school but it's not easy irl, when you actually have to practice it :disagree: The solution is almost never easy.

Not to mention you take other people's problem and make them your own.

No reason to look down on other professions.

Don't worry. He just made it about this because he knows he's very ill informed when it comes to politics and history. He tries to play it off as if majoring in biochemistry would also make you an incredible lawyer, but it's obviously bullshit.
