You have the freedom to believe what you like, but shouldn't we base our belief on rational thought?

I'd like to stop the spread of any misinformation & have been trying to ignore it. With apologies that such comments continue on this thread & elsewhere & are both untrue & irrelevant to the discussions in hand.

I know the majority of our members will read things for themselves to make an informed decision, but this sort of continuing misinformation here needs to stop.

It is tinfoil hat territory. I have an estranged brother who believes all kinds of unsubstantiated rubbish he read online. I agree that it has no place within this community.

My estranged sister did to, conspiracy theories which were just too far removed from reality. My answer was just 🙄. Here, I can just 'scroll on' thankfully 😊

The thing is, this brother of mine works in 'the city', the first of us to go to university. If anyone should be diving down these rabbit holes, it's me -"divorced, unemployed, involuntarily celibate etc; not the wealthy, educated, happily married one.

I hear you. For me, as soon as the conspiracy theorists started about the horror and tragedy that was 9/11 and the holocaust deniers, I just think whoah (well, I think more than that obviously...) but I wouldn't even waste my precious energy giving time to the nonsense. One of the very BEST things about the Internet is the ability to scroll on. Who'd have knew ☺️, just like skipping a page in a book.

I know what kind of world I want to inhabit and luckily for me, it hasn't been one where people only look out for themselves. No 'I'm alright Jack' here. I wonder sometimes what my lovely dad would have made of it all. I pretty much know. Like father like son, as the saying goes (or Like father like daughter, in my case 🫠😊).
