Totally agree....the problem I seem to have is, I'll send a link with facts from a non MSM source and the entire thing is brushed off and not even looked at because the source isn't "credible". There's literally quotes, charts, graphs.....from LEGIT sources in the article. Read the damn thing THEN decide if its credible or not. It's beyond frustrating. I have given up trying to change their thought process. Starting to think they're the 4-6%.
fighting against human nature. the harder we push, the more people resist. the best way is either waiting for questions, or finding a "neutral" position on a topic that is hard to argue with.
the issue becomes whether or not it is more important to be proven right, or to change people's minds.
I feel your disgust. You can't force anyone to read your forwarded info...unless you physically pry their eyes open! I don't expect people to believe me; I expect people to do their own research/investigation. I like hearing someone else's theory/info. If I find it interesting, far-fetched, unbelievable I research/investigate it to support or discredit what I was told. That was how I came across this website. I am grateful for all of support, encouragement, and information-sharing from Frens here!
I'm sorry, but your friend doesn't want his belief system to crumble like the house of cards it is.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
I ignore these horses. Not worth a saddle. Let them eat hay.
