YouTube Misinformation

 Is Information on a YouTube video important?

What is more important?

Time and again, I come back to the same question, is information accuracy important on YouTube?

From Bollywood uploaders in India, who cannot spell the names of film stars, or mix up images, to regular uploaders who think their view is fact. I had to correct an uploader this afternoon, who has a common misconception about motorcycle rider, Joey Dunlop.

Another laugh is the fuss about the Will Smith incident at the Oscars, which was WAY overplayed compared to some of the rows in the olden days of Hollywood

Motorcycle Racing

 How would I rate Joey Dunlop?

Joey Dunlop

Though I lost interest in watching motorcycle racing in 2000, I was an avid viewer for many decades. So, I accept younger viewers on YouTube lack the knowledge I gained. That said, with the availability of technology I never had, is that a reason for misinformation?

Opinion is personal, but official records are not opinion.

The case in point is Joey Dunlop, I found myself again explaining why she should not be classed as even a moderately successful GP rider.

What follows is NOT my opinion, but a short summary of his career.

I won't dispute he maybe the best rider who rode in Ireland, there again, few major riders competed there. He was the best rider of the NW2000 race.

He rode mainly against his brothers, who were not going to stop him winning TT races.

He raced mainly in Ireland, and the Isle of Man.

He didn't race against many of the top UK riders, I say UK, not British, to say British would include Australia, Rhodesia (at the time), and New Zealand.

His GP record was 2 races, 1-6th place, and 1-8th place.

My view of his ranking

Best in Ireland (No1)

             UK (top 30?)

         Wolrd (unrated)

My rating can be debated, his record cannot.

I admire his abiity to race at speed, no matter how poorly he performed

 Joey Dunlop

                                                      The Innocence of youth

A few minutes ago on YouTube, I found myself correcting a common misconception about motorcycle rider Joey Dunlop.

What is the misconception?

The misconception is that people with little knowledge of the sport consider him ine of the greatest riders of his era, BULLSHIT.

He never raced on the UK mainland.

He maybe the best rider who rode the courses in Ireland, but fdew of the major riders rode there,

He was NOT one of the best on the Isle of Man.

He rode mainly against his brothers, who wouldn't be out to spoil his records.

His TWO rides in the GP curcuit, ended with a 6th, and an 8th position.

He never raced against the best riders in the UK, never lind the World.

The New Catholic Express

 A growing Roman Catholic following

Romania

Though I am not overtly religious, and post few articles on religion, in the last week my blog has gained a following in Roman Catholic states such as Mexico and Romania.

This upsurge could be the result of my numerous posts on Spirituality, and ghosts

Why do people think I still write?

Children's Best Seller

Last week on Twitter, I was contacted by  Matthew Paul Turner, a New York Times bestselling chidren's author.

He complimented me on how long I was a writer, then I had to inform him I stopped writing about five years ago. If the cchat follows its regular pattern it will go like this.

Why did you stop?

I couldn't sell my eBooks.

You could be waiting for the right promotion, I can ut you in contact with my lterary agent, if you wish?

At which point, I say thank you, but as a disabled pensioner, I can't justify the costs

Farage breaks the Law

 Professional Details

Why you shouldn't vote for Reform UK 

I thought NIgel Farage was bad, but now he has crossed the line.

The THREE-time loser, in a desperate ploy to win respect for his failing Reform UK, has published details of a proffesional photographer online, He has now become a criminal.

The only people legally permitted to do this are the photgrapher, or his representatives.

Muslim Hypocrisy

 Sex sites on Reddit

                                                       Never trust a Muslim

One good reason NOT to trust a Muslim is they are hypocrites.

One of the reason I left Reddit is I spent so long blocking Muslims trying to get me to join their sex sites.

I'd spend hours each day, blocking hundreds of sites, mostly from Egypt, I got to the point of blocking anything from Egypt automatically.

It is forbidden for the women to go out showing skin, but not for the men to sell their bodies to strangers. Another good reason concerns a 5-year-girl who was sold to a man of 50 for marriage, when she died of horrofic injuries during his sexual advances, her parents said it was the will of Allah.

What parent would sell a 5-year-old girl to a man of 55?

Also, they strap bombs to children, then detonate them, what type of sub-human would do that?

Yet, King Charles iii, and his son Prince William say the way of Islam is the way the west should accept.

In the words of Golda Meir, "There will only be peace in the MIddle East, when the Arabs love their children, more than they hate the Jews."
