Post #2 Red Flag: Appeal to Authority (Article)

# data[].attributes.body
Definition: When famous people use their authority to prove their point in an argument. Most of the time they don't have an education in the topic they're talking about but they use their authority as evidence in their argument. Their authority doesn't have any relevance on the topic but because their famous, people will listen to what they have to say.

Connection: This article is Mark Wahlberg talking about how celebrities shouldn't talk about their view points in polities or anything for that matter as it affects how their fans vote.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Mark Wahlberg has said celebrities should keep their political opinions to themselves, saying they live in a "bubble" and have no real understanding of the issues faced by others.

Unlike the majority of Hollywood, the Ted actor kept quiet about his political leanings over the tempestuous election period. When asked why he did not get involved or actively endorse anyone throughout the 18-month campaign, Wahlberg said he didn't feel in a position to do so because of his own privilege.

"A lot of celebrities, did, do and shouldn't [give their political opinions]," he told Task and Purpose magazine, which is aimed at US veterans.

"You know, it just goes to show that people aren't listening to that anyway. They might buy your CD or watch your movie but you don't put food on their table. You don't pay their bills. A lot of Hollywood is living in a bubble. They're pretty out of touch with the common person, the everyday guy out there providing for their family."

The majority of high-profile people lending their voice to the presidential election supported Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Aside from a few particularly vocal Donald Trump supporters, including the actors Jon Voight and Scott Baio, any famous people who did support Mr Trump kept it on the downlow.

Wahlberg argued he is more aware of the issues facing Americans because he "exists in the real world".

"Me, I'm very aware of the real world. I come from the real world and I exist in the real world. And although I can navigate Hollywood and I love the business and the opportunities it's afforded me, I also understand what it's like not to have all that," he said.

Yet after giving his thoughts on why celebrities should not get involved in politics he then addressed Mr Trump's previous comments pledging to ban Muslims from the US.

Discussing his new film Patriots Day, which followsthe 2013 Boston Marathon bombings committed by the Tsarnaev brothers, Wahlberg called the premise of barring an entire religion "completely absurd and unacceptable".

"I have a lot of Muslim friends who are really amazing people," he said. "So anything like that is just completely absurd and unacceptable to me. I'm a devout Catholic. I have a lot of Jewish friends. I've got a lot of friends from all over the world. And I think a lot of people have been mistreated for a long time and we need to fix that.

"There's a big difference between a Muslim and a terrorist. Big, big difference."

Definition: This is a set of beliefs or opinions that a group of people or an individual have. Most of the time it has to do with political beliefs or a persons cultural views.

Connection: This article talks about how parents got put in jail because they didn't bring their daughter to get the medical attention she needs, they just relied on prayers to heal her. They had a set of beliefs that ended up letting them loose their child in the end.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A central Wisconsin couple who prayed rather than seeking medical care for their 11-year-old dying daughter were sentenced to six months in jail and 10 years probation in the girl's death.

Dale and Leilani Neumann could have received up to 25 years in prison for second-degree homicide over the death in March 2008 of Madeline Neumann, who died of an undiagnosed but treatable form of diabetes.

Marathon county circuit court Judge Vincent Howard told the Neumanns they were "very good people, raising their family who made a bad decision, a reckless decision".

"God probably works through other people," he told the parents, "some of them doctors."

The case was believed to be the first of its kind in Wisconsin involving faith healing in which someone died and another person was charged with a homicide.

Prosecutors claimed that the Neumanns recklessly killed their youngest of four children by ignoring obvious symptoms of severe illness as she became too weak to speak, eat, drink or walk. They said the couple had a legal duty to take their daughter to a doctor but relied totally on prayer for healing.

The girl, known as Kara, died on the floor of the family's rural Weston home as people surrounded her and prayed. Someone called the emergency dispatcher only after she stopped breathing.

"We are here today because to some, you made Kara a martyr to your faith," Howard told the parents.

In testimony at the trial and videotaped interviews with police, the parents said they believe healing comes from God and that they never expected their daughter to die as they prayed for her and summoned others to do the same. A friend who was at the family's rural Weston home called the ambulance after Kara stopped breathing.

During the sentencing, Leilani Neumann, 41, told the judge her family is loving and forgiving and has wrongly been portrayed as religious zealots.

"I do not regret trusting truly in the Lord for my daughter's health," she said. "Did we know she had a fatal illness? No. Did we act to the best of our knowledge? Yes."

Dale Neumann, 47, read from the Bible and told the judge he loved his daughter.

"I am guilty of trusting my Lord's wisdom completely ... Guilty of asking for heavenly intervention. Guilty of following Jesus Christ when the whole world does not understand. Guilty of obeying my God," he said.

The Neumanns held each other as Howard sentenced them, a Bible on the table nearby and their three teenage children sitting behind them in the courtroom.

Prosecutors had asked for a three-year suspended prison sentence and 10 years probation. Defence lawyers had sought four years probation.

The judge ordered the couple to serve one month in jail each year for six years so that the parents can "think about Kara and what God wants you to learn from this". One parent would serve the term in March and the other in September. Howard suspended the jail sentences until the appeal is heard.

As part of their probation, the parents must allow a public health nurse to examine their two underage children at least once every three months and must immediately take their children to a doctor for any serious injuries.

The assistant district attorney, LaMont Jacobson, said justice was served by the sentences, but he was disappointed that the parents never said they were sorry for what happened.

"They allowed Kara to die because they got themselves too caught up in the misguided belief that they were being tested by God," the prosecutor said.

Dale Neumann, who once studied to be a pentecostal minister, told reporters that the couple continues to trust in God.

"We live by faith," he said after the sentencing. "We are completely content with what the Lord has allowed to come down, but he is not done yet."

Definition: Someone gives so much information to people that it overwhelms them and makes them think it must be true because of how much information they throw at you. When someone talks confidently enough about a subject you know nothing about, it makes you believe what their saying.

Connection: This picture has a lot of information on it, and it’s explaining a topic that can be explained in a easier way but they know that if they explain it in this way, it'll make people just go along with what their saying because they are now confused.

Definition: This is when you're talking about a certain subject and someone avoids a topic or question by misleading them or distracting them with something else.

Connection: This picture represents Red Herring because the one guy asks the other guy a question and he avoided it by talking about something else and changing the subject to distract the guy from answering his question.

From oesjmr:

"I've only had one premonition-type of dream and it came true within hours. In the dream, I was standing in a field, looking up into the morning sky, watching a fireball fall with a smoke trail behind it. Pieces of it were breaking off here and there. I was with a handful of other people, who I did not know, and we were all looking up in amazement. A radio was on and there was a man stating, 'Do not touch any pieces of the space craft that may crash to earth due to potential radiation contamination,' and things of that nature. We all stood looking into the sky for a few more moments before I woke up.

When I woke from the dream, I noticed it was still dark outside, so I looked at the clock. It was 2:35 am (EST). I got up, drank some water, laid back in bed and thought about the dream for a while. I was having trouble going back to sleep, so I turned on the radio and eventually drifted back to sleep.

I woke up in the morning, and to my disbelief, I was hearing the same voice from the radio in my dream hours before on the radio now, saying similar things. I thought, "What the hell is going on?!" I turned on the TV, switched it over to a news channel, and saw this video on the screen. Space Shuttle Columbia had just disintegrated during re-entry. I get goosebumps even today thinking about it."

Definition: When people try to explain things like magic but they can’t because they don’t actually know how it happens. People always want explanations on the unknown and there always is explanations but not everyone can figure them out so it leaves them in the dark about it.

Connection: This is a video about two people who can read minds and they came second on Americas Got Talent, a lot of people don’t know how they do what they do but everyone wants to know how. Maybe there is an explanation to what they do but not many people know how they do it.
