Have you had the experience of telling the truth on RF and finding that people don't believe you or that they will not accept evidence as valid even when it is presented to them?
We all deal with people we "disagree" with from time to time but sometimes you come across a "truth" that you just don't want to compromise or want to see be taken seriously. Or its something so obvious that you're outraged someone can even contemplate it not being true. I tend to get a bit angry when this happens, but its not as if it helps or changes anything. There is no obligation on anyone else to believe something or to say something just because you think it's true. Evidence has become largely irrelevant and for display purposes only. Nonsense generally wins when people believe it in large numbers. God help us: the internet will destroy us all.
I'm probably not alone in finding this frustrating from time to time but just wondering if anyone has some good advice for dealing with it and keeping it in perspective. Whats the best way to become more tolerant and accepting without wanting to scream or hurt people and small animals? Any suggestions?
As for the poll, I voted that 2+2 equals a "Pink elephant in a tutu". Its completely logical and maths teachers are all in a conspiracy to say otherwise.
