I've come to the point were i don't believe nothing anymore until i have heard it with me own ears or witnessed it with my own eyes, i could only imagine how much wrong we could do someone for something he probably didn't do or have done in a way other than what we have been told. weather it was a person, group of people, an organization or even a whole nation. there are always two sides for a story, and we normally only get to hear it from one side. but hey, that's probably just me

I never believe anything I read unless it's in The Daily Mail and then I know I can trust it.

I personally just take everything with a grain insert pinch of salt * i think that's how the saying is* until/if it can be proven true/false.
