It's an odd phenomenon. It seems that the consensus of people's opinion tends to dictate what they will believe. Individuals can disagree but the masses tend to follow what the group holds as true. Or what they think is true... there are a great many times in history where the people in control tell the masses that they believe something and just because individuals of the group think the group believes it, it becomes true. Scary huh.
This is ridiculous, but there is a line in the movie MIB that spells it out: "People are smart, they can handle this"
-"A PERSON is smart. People are dumb panicky animals and you know it"

Well
That is Smart Question
it should be
why people believe anything that is bad
Because
if you Talk about someone Killed someone People believe
If You Talk about Man cheat on His wife people believe
If You Talk About Some Muslims is terrorist people believe
But On The Other Hand
If You Talk About A Man Loves a woman so much....
People doubt that,,,and if they do not doubt it they wait for a sad end
If You Talk about people trying to be better
People doubt that
In General Seems Like, Most of us human lost hope in Anything Good That Might happened
and we Just full believe in whatever bad that Might Happened
I Hope my Answer Make Sense to You
Peace

People want what they want, and they are willing to accept a rationale--any rationale--in order to get it. If a woman truly want a man, she will just about put up with anything and believe anything in order to get him; love tends to make us blind, deaf, and dumb. By the same logic, a man a woman is dead set against can say nothing or do nothing to convince her differently. It's just the way our species work.

I don't know about other people's motives, but I'm a face-value kind of person. What you see is what you get.. and I expect the same. If someone want to scam me with a fake story... that is their right but all it did is waste my time and theirs.

I don't know! There have been soooooooooooooooo many threads that I started on here that were obviously humor-based, and yet people thought I was totally serious. It boggles the mind.

many people want something to believe in. It gives them hope and future. That is of course if you are talking about God...
