I'm curious to see

How many people see something on FB, here or elsewhere and look it up for themselves to see if it is accurate or just take what they have seen at face value.

I see a lot of people say they "saw something", but then provide no actual information. Then i go an look things up and find the information they "saw" was wrong, skewed or misaligned.

I am guilty of not looking things up from time to time, but when questioned on them, I will and correct things. I make mistakes. But I do try to look things up to make sure things are correct.

It just seems so many do not and I have to say, this is part of the problem with people today.

We literally can't take anything at face value anymore. There is sooooo much misinformation and propaganda out there now. We are truly in a troubling time when it comes to information, but so many people are still wanting to take things as truth at face value which only hurts us.

@FoxyQueen if you are actually in the really world know of how nasty and cynical some people who work and how they actually peceive those who are unemployed and rely on state hand outs
yes as from somebody again is in employment and actually are in the really world people do stick to contract agreements . but you have a certain element who have let us say rather little moral obligation to there work and feel it necessary to shirk there duties and leave it to others to pick up the pieces

@smiler2012 I'm not sure how this comment applies to researching things you see on social media. 🤔

@FoxyQueen 🤔it is a general observation to how real people in the real world immaterial of a social media opinion that only offers a cross section view really perceive others rightly or wrongly

@smiler2012 did you mean your first comment to go to my other post about laziness, perhaps?
