The problem is that most people simply believe. "Believe." As in accepting something as true without proof. Sometimes there is no harm in this but oftentimes it results in shit like this spinning out of control. Go to a family reunion and just listen to what your family is talking about. 99% of it is bullshit, but not a single person there rejects it. If Obama is a muslim at your family reunion, then it's true, and many many people in the world will believe something just because someone said it. "Believe." They are fine with taking something as fact without evidence or proof. They are fine with acting on their emotions. Obama is a muslim loving terrorist. John is a Republican who loves "believing" stuff like everyone else. John wants his party to win the election, so he wants the other side to have negativity surrounding it, so he automatically believes the Obama BS just because he has an emotional reaction to it.
I'm serious about the family reunion shit. Just listen and you will be amazed at the bullshit spouted and believed...by everyone, without question.
A family member of mine: "I'm not getting that H1N1 vaccine. I heard that it's bad so I'm not getting it." There you go. They "heard it was bad." Therefore they're NOT getting it, based on the word of 1 person, who has no evidence. That's the problem with most of the US...people will believe in anything.
