It is a fact that the earth rotates around the Sun. It is a fact that if you curtail free speech you get an oppressive government. It is a fact that if you spend more than you bring in you will go bankrupt.
One mans faith as in religion may be another mans fiction, but 2+2=4 even if the education system says it’s ok if Johnny says it’s 5, doesn’t make it a fiction. 2+2 is still 4.
One man’s opinion of something as truth may be, in another man’s opinion, untruth. However the truth of the matter is independant of the opinion of either, unless that opinion is part of the initial something or it is a statement about the future and the opinion can effect the outcome. (There may be some possibilities that I haven’t though of but you get the gist )
“Dissenters who tell their fellow citizens what is really going on are subject to smear campaigns that, like clockwork, are aimed at the political heretic.
No, the whole point of truth is that it is objective, provable and constant.
That’s how we were able to develop science and that is how we evaluate moral codes.
Troll is right. Religion is faith, but true faith requires enough intellectual and empirical truth/integrity to justify taking that step of faith.
The great danger in the western nations is a growing acceptance that truth is what you want it to be, and two people can believe totally different things but Inclusivity and non Judgmentalism requires that both be accepted.
That way will eventually lead to chaos and madness.
The West was built on the proposition that A cannot be B.
Don’t know about anything that may have happened to Paul but what he says is true. See how Wikileaks staff are being hunted around the world. Telling the truth is mighty dangerous.

No, unwelcome truths are the problem. But your answer is typical of a statist. Repeat after me: The state is your friend, the state is good, the state must keep secrets from the people, the people aren’t entitled to know.
ATW does not operate on fresh air! We have running costs and if you want to give us a hand, once a year, then HIT THE TIP and feed the beast that is our hosting company!
You do not defeat terrorism by rewarding terrorists, regardless of how many bleeding heart liberals argue otherwise. Want to know where that flawed approach leads to? Read UNIONISM DECAYED 1997-2007 - It's my first book and it explains what happens when you seeek to appease terrorists and call it peace. It's available right now for ATW readers so make sure you get your copy by emailing the editor! This is the book that dissents from the herd mentality that doing wrong can lead to being right.

Truth now there’s a concept.
One mans truth is another mans lies.

Opinions are open to bending either way. Not Truth.
One mans facts are another mans fiction.
no facts are things that are proven.

Obama lies all the time and the MSM doesn’t notice.
Afterall, being a Leftist means never having to say you’re sorry because you mean well – even if results are bad.
