Why are people denying years of research and looking to random conspiracies on blogs and youtube videos for information?
Theres also a trend where people are told to drink bleach to treat illness. Like wth?
Simply they have been fooled, such as by the government, for believing in things that turned out to be totally false. They likely fell for a lot of fake stuff while young in their teens and 20s and still bitter from it. But drinking bleach is ridiculously extreme and few people are going to fall for that.
Ill allow you to believe for yourself. But I don’t condone spreading misinformation. The problem is that people who spread it pret on the ignorance of others. Like people being told to drink bleach to cure their cancer.
...so, by your logic...if A is too lazy to do some research, ya know, look into it for themselves...it's B responsibility that they didn't?...
....and who will decide what B will be able to put out there when A is too stupid to know the difference...
...again, who decides what qualifies as 'misinformation"...
Middle aged and older Americans are becoming lazy and don't want to look past CNN & Fox news for their news source. Short dialogue sound bites and click bait conveniently preys on short attention spans and produces uninformed weak minds. It's a funnel created by the top 1% to create a distraction.
The newer generation of kids and young adults have a much more round interpretation of what is really going on in society. That is why suicide is on the rise and there are more mental issues than ever. They know the American dream is different from their parents' but want their dream NOW without having to do the work.
There is plenty of misinformation going around about how MJ is some miracle drug that cures everything from cancer and seizures to being some sort of magic pain killer. None of that is true but it's everywhere.
One thing it does cause is psychosis and the munchies but the stoners would get upset, if you could get the bag of chips out of their faces.

I think munchies might be more of an "early days" thing - I've been chafing up on fine weed for nearly 40 years, and eating just isn't a part of being stoned for me, or friends.
I do remember that food had more of role when I first started, but I think that was because it tasted so good, rather than insatiable hunger.
I noticed not a single poster addressed my concern over State-initiated force (or expanding on that, personal force) in the face of freedom of association (which leads to information, regardless of your opinion on it, dissemination).
No one is up to the challenge?
I exclude Joe because he has already admitted that he would steal from and kill anyone no matter the circumstances if he felt it benefited him. I despise his values and morals but appreciate the candor.

Have you missed the last two years of politics? It's nut job city out here and I don't see an end to this ride from heII.
Perhaps American life is so boring that people have to make up stuff just to continue the will to live.
To be fair, it's liberals that deny the climate continually changes.
"Climate change" can have such a wide range of meanings from the changing of the seasons to the traditional global warming-type image we often see in the media. I do believe in climate change (the global warming-type) but I don't know how much is done by humans and how much is done by Mother Nature.
