I am passing this along in the event that this is factual.

Georgie Bloomquist sent me an article regarding this. Hoax or not, I don't know, but I'm not going to take the chance.

You may not want to give your children Motrin and Robitussin at the same time. There is a story out of the Red Oak School District that there have been a few childrens' death and this is the only link they can find.
 
Checking "Snopes" is almost as reliable as checking with your local fire plug. It is a man and wife with no research staff who answer all the questions. Almost any other source is better than Snopes!

Who watches the watchers?
Who knows what is authentic?

For the past few years www.snopescom has positioned itself, or others have labeled it, as the 'tell-all final word' on any comment, claim and email. But for several years people tried to find out who exactly was behind snopes.com.



Only recently did Wikipedia get to the bottom of it - kinda makes you wonder what they were hiding. Well, finally we know. It is run by a husband and wife team - that's right, no big office of investigators and researchers, no team of lawyers. It's just a mom-and-pop operation that began as a hobby. David and Barbara Mikkelson in the San Fernando Valley of California started the website about 13 years ago - and they have no formal background or experience in investigative research. After a few years it gained popularity believing it to be unbiased and neutral, but over the past couple of years people started asking questions who was behind it and did they have a selfish motivation?



The reason for the questions - or skepticisms - is a result of snopes.com claiming to have the bottom line facts to certain questions or issue when in fact they have been proven wrong. Also, there were criticisms the Mikkelsons were not really investigating and getting to the 'true' bottom of various issues.



A few months ago, when my State Farm agent Bud Gregg in Mandeville hoisted a political sign referencing Barack Obama and made a big splash across the internet, 'supposedly' the Mikkelson's claim to have researched this issue before posting their findings on snopes.com. In their statement they claimed the corporate office of State Farm pressured Gregg into taking down the sign, when in fact nothing of the sort 'ever' took place. I personally contacted David Mikkelson (and he replied back to me) thinking he would want to get to the bottom of this and I gave him Bud Gregg's contact phone numbers - and Bud was going to give him phone numbers to the big exec's at State Farm in Illinois who would have been willing to speak with him about it.. He never called Bud. In fact, I learned from Bud Gregg no one from snopes.com ever contacted anyone with State Farm. Yet, snopes.com issued a statement as the 'final factual word' on the issue as if they did all their homework and got to the bottom of things - not!



Then it has been learned the Mikkelson's are very Democratic (party) and extremely liberal. As we all now know from this presidential election, liberals have a purpose agenda to discredit anything that appears to be conservative.. There has been much criticism lately over the internet with people pointing out the Mikkelson's liberalism revealing itself in their website findings. Gee, what a shock?



So, I say this now to everyone who goes to snopes.com to get what they think to be the bottom line facts...'proceed with caution.' Take what it says at face value and nothing more. Use it only to lead you to their references where you can link to and read the sources for yourself. Plus, you can always Google a subject and do the research yourself. It now seems apparent that's all the Mikkelson's do. After all, I can personally vouch from my own experience for their 'not' fully looking into things.

I have found this to be true also! Many videos of Obama I tried to verify on Snopes and they said they were False...... Then they gave their Liberal slant....!!! I have suspected some problems with snopes for some time now, but I have only caught them in half-truths. If there is any subjectivity they do an immediate full left rudder. Truth or www.truthorfiction.com a better source for verification, in my opinion.



I have recently discovered that Snopes..com is owned by a flaming liberal and this man is in the tank for Obama. There are many things they have listed on their site as a hoax and yet you can go to Youtube yourself and find the video of Obama actually saying these things. So you see, you cannot and should not trust Snopes.com.....ever for anything that remotely resembles truth! I don't even trust them to tell me if email chains are hoaxes anymore.



A few conservative speakers on Myspace told me about Snopes.com http://snopes.com// a few months ago and I took it upon myself to do a little research to find out if it was true. Well, I found out for myself that it is true. Anyway just FYI please don't use Snopes.com anymore for fact checking and make your friends aware of their political leanings as well. Many people still think Snopes.com is neutral and they can be trusted as factual. We need to make sure everyone is aware that that is a hoax in itself.

God here we go, come on summer lets get back to racing. Dee I looked heavy into this with all my free time and did some field work on this personaly. Mixed me up a big old batch and all I got was the runs the farts and the poops. Did I mix it wrong? Now that you can look up on truthorfiction.com :eek::D

I'm not sure about mixing the two but I do know a little boy in our area that passed away a couple years ago and the cause was the cough syrup that was given to him.

As long as the research is solid, and results unbiased, does it matter if it's one individual doing the research, or 100?
 
It is a known fact that one could never have an allergic reaction to either one of these items and/or ingredients in a single doasge. But when they are mixed together sometimes it can be a lethal cocktail ! Same goes with other meds and mixing.
 
Moonflow, you wouldn't want one individual researching something that may or may not affect your very life so why would you put your beliefs in the hands of one or two people? I'd check with our doctor.
As you know I didn't write the article, I just passed it along.
 
There’s ANOTHER lesson to be learned here aside from being cautious about mixing medications…

The internet hosts a wealth of information available on demand…

Televisions spew information 24/7/365…

You can hear information about all types of subjects, by just turning on the radio…

You can find out most anything you’ll ever want to know by picking up a newspaper or magazine.

NONE of the above negate the requirement of human beings of thinking for one’s self!

But you claim that Snopes articles are invalid because they don't have an extensive research staff to back their results of their studies.

The Snopes result for the article in question was "Unverified"....it doesn't mean it's a myth, or it's true. THEY DON'T KNOW!!
 
Dee you should not post things like this it only makes people like me go out and see if it's true, I still got the runs and the farts. :eek: Tryed washing it down with some good old moonshine but all that did was get me drunk and now I poop in my shorts. :eek::D
