Call me truth seeker, educator, outside of the box thinker or a revisionist...
Or you can just refer to me as Jaster?
Either way I have a question for everyone and would very much like to know the opinions of all.
Webster says the following:
–noun 1. a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty.
2. a personal view, attitude, or appraisal.
3. the formal expression of a professional judgment: to ask for a second medical opinion.
4. Law. the formal statement by a judge or court of the reasoning and the principles of law used in reaching a decision of a case.
5. a judgment or estimate of a person or thing with respect to character, merit, etc.: to forfeit someone's good opinion.
6. a favorable estimate; esteem: I haven't much of an opinion of him.[/i]
An opinion.
There are several different types of opinions though:
One is an idea planted into your brain by some other person/persons in an attempt to make you think the way they want you to. This is called manipulation of free thinking, or brainwashing.
Another type of opinion is one that comes from finding one's own answers about life and it's many mysteries, known as self education and research.
I like opinions that exist for a reason, and an opinion that is backed by such reasons. An opinion that exists soley because someone suggested or told someone to think in a certain way, are poor formed opinions and hold little ground with me and the majority of free thinking people.
a good example of a poor formed opinion would be a youngster claiming to believe something because Mommy and daddy assured them it was true. The same could be said of the Education systems in the world. I think education should be not just a student mentor experience, but more so a self enlightening experience.
If you are still reading, here is the question I ask:[/i]
Who was Adolf Hitler, and what do you believe about him and his regime, known as The Third Reich.[/i]

all opinions are welcome, but I would encourage all to exercise their God given talents at "Free thinking".
