fact란 말 함부로 쓰지 말라. 이런식의 나열은 기자들 글쓰듯이 얼마든지 호도가 가능하다.

니 *** 위로 떨어졌어도 그런말이 나올까?

괜한 영웅심리 갖지 말고 쓸데없이 귀한시간 낭비하지 말라고 나역시 귀한시간 들여 타이핑 해준다.

정 사실을 알려야 겠고 정의감에 불타서 주체를 못하겠으면 컴터앞에 앉지 말고 주변 동물보호소에 가서 불쌍한 병든 유기견 분뇨나 치워주라. 아마 훨씬 뿌듯할거다 건강에도 좋고.

개나소나 진실, 구르던 개똥이 웃을 일이다…

fact != truth.

couldn’t help it….

If you want to talk about “fact”, you don’t need to put “lip service”, etc in your post. That’s your opinion or very subjective, not telling “fact”.

I admit I’m not that good at stripping off my own subjectivity from facts that seen in this land of confusion. Thanks for reminding me of the fact.

However, I would say a fact does not necessarily void of some degree of subjectivity. I hope you see differences between the two facts below.

Fact 1.
The earth makes revolution around the sun.

Fact 2.
‘Yesterday’ is the all time master piece among pop musics by the Beatles.

BTW, what’s wrong with the word of ‘lip service’? By definition(based on dictionaries), ‘lip service’ means to say that you agree with something but do nothing. Having said that, I don’t see MB retaliate on NK in multiple fold in reality at least until very this time. Indeed, according to domestic presses as of Nov 23, he also mentioned attacking NK’s missile base if necessary as one of the attemptable action items, which is not effectively allowed by his own decision in the current situation around 6 nations and others.

Of course, My opinion is that the man MUST calls for strong response, but not military campaign on the peninsular.
