(8,020 posts)... and I'm certainly not hurt.
I refuse to keep my FB posts light..about puppies and shit... The things that really count in my life are the topics/questions of the day. Questions of war/peace or hungry kids mean more to me than what I'm cooking for dinner.
I never tell people they are full of shit or the like, I simply rebut what they have to say.... with citations.
My hope is not to convince them, but rather to make sure others who read that crap will know that there is a fact-based-reality side to things.
Full disclosure: I was a teacher for 30 years, and ignorance...especially willful ignorance... has been my enemy for at least that long. And lies...? Well, lies are impossible for me to ignore. It makes life a little frustrating, but at least my brain isn't withering away.
