The Definition of Bullshit.

Sunday, January 28. 2007

Dictionary.Com has a great definition of the term bullshit. For all intensive purposes I enjoy demonstrating the several exaggerations, multitude of media lies, and political nonsense that is used to manipulate the public into liberal welfare policies and diminished freedoms.

bull·shit /?b?l???t/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[bool-shit] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation noun, verb, -shit·ted or -shit, -shit·ting, interjection Slang: Vulgar.
–noun 1. nonsense, lies, or exaggeration.
–verb (used with object) 2. to lie or exaggerate to.
–verb (used without object) 3. to speak lies or nonsense.
–interjection 4. (used esp. to express disagreement.)

I also have preserved a copy of Harry Frankfurts essay On Bullshit I doubt anyone will take the time to read the essay in its entirety as it is presented but I found it an appropriate first post to the blog exposing lines of bullshit. I am looking forward to readers submitting their views on the various lines of bullshit they are fed daily by media and politicians.
