    Both sides have more than their fair share of people who only ever hear what they want to hear. I'm sure we've all been guilty of it on occasion, but for some people it seems to be a calling.

      Duly noted that the Truth is that people thinking Gates is a child murdering anti-christ is Common, with the proof being what Phibes saw on Facebook.

      Education is extremely important.

        I'm just talking about my own experience. YMMV. If you live in California, "The Craziest Happiest Place on Earth (TM)", it probably will.

        I'm not really a big believer in Truth.

            How is the Bill Gates you tube any more stupid than Trump wanting people to inject bleach? You have to look at the existence of both to understand why. You can’t get mad at only one, so if you do you may be feeding the other.

              One is based on an incomplete or biased interpretation of Trump’s idiotic comments.

              The other one is based on... nothing at all...

                They are both equally idiotic but look at your rationalization. One is okay and the other isn’t. Sure.

                  @Loki i guess my definition of “ok” is interpreting things with incomplete info or bias.

                    And my definition of not okay is stupid is stupid. You tolerate and advance stupidity one way and you can expect it to come back and proliferate in other ways. I am simply saying those appalled by the stupidity of the Gates thing should study their own possible contribution to the advancement of stupidity in society.

                      The Trump thing is a bad example because some people took a thing that was already stupid and pushed it further to be even stupider.

                      It was already stupid, it didn’t need additional fake stupid seasoning salt.

                          That’s fine. So we are to be alarmed at a fringe Gates conspiracy theory but take seriously that injecting with bleach is what was meant and rational people might do I’ll just put in the hilarious bucket.

                            And again, terrible false equivalence. Trump actually said his thing. We can argue what he meant but only after we acknowledge that you're saying misinterpretation and just completely making shit up are identical.

                              No, I have to disagree. What Trump said and how it was presented and interpreted meet my criteria for made up shit too.

                                      Its time you "clorox" guys gave it a rest. If you actually believe that Trump meant you could inject bleach into your body then you are the dumbass, not Trump. Everyone misspeaks occasionally. It is an utter fool who keeps harping it.

                                          You realize that if Democrats had their way, Gates would have had 90+% of his wealth taxed away and it would have been used to upgrade Obamaphones to iPhone 11s...
