Should we care about China?
I shared a link that a friend pointed to early today from a site about China
One man took offense and started sending me messages telling me I was wrong. I asked for a link to better facts and was told I should have researched the article before the retweet. That appeared odd to me. I read articles and post to learn new things. I don't accept them as indisputable facts, but I think my opinion on what I find interesting is my own decision, and cant believe one would think that I should become an investigative reporter to share what I READ. For the record. Everything here, and most everything I write is MY THOUGHTS. If I site a source, it is almost always unverified. I would never think to pass on something that I didn't think was true, but I do hope my network values my choices while judging for themselves. What I should have told @Pew115 was "If you don't like what I tweet, just unfollow me" But, that's not me. I continued to respond as best I could in 140 characters. Wondering how his allegations could be taken serious without even one URL. HINT: That "one URL" on Twitter could be HIS BLOG.. he's welcome to say what he pleases and if it fits my criteria above (fairy broad, eh?) then I would have most likely shared it with my followers. I next was told that I was "testy" (that happens.. I won't dispute it) and that he knew all this because he lived in China. Hmmm.. He just told me that news is suppressed, but he knows all the factsNext came a barrage of articles with what I thought was some pretty good opinions and some facts that expanded what I know about charity in China. (which is not much) He told me he did all this to help me. I thanked him on Twitter and will say it again here. THANKS.. I DO need to care about China. Which made the tweet below strike me as the oddest thing I've seen all day. I do care about places I don't live. Especially China. Should I?
