I am sure no one here needs to hear this,------------but maybe some of us need to be sure all of
our friends, neighbors and even---(shudder! ) family members understand it.
Are you ready? Listen carefully: JUST BECAUSE YOU SEE IT OR READ IT ON THE INTERNET, THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT IS TRUE!
This is important, so I will say that again, in a different way: ALL THAT STUFF ON THE INTERNET? AS "SPORTIN' LIFE'" MIGHT SAY---"IT AIN'T NECESSARILY SO!",
Question EVERYTHING! "WHO is posting this?" "WHY are they posting it?" "Are they QUALIFIED to say what they are they are saying?" "Have I ever even HEARD OF this poster?" And, that's just a start.
We know that not everyone on the net is as honest as we are, but sometimes we drop our guard and let terrible people feed us poisonous lies that serve their purpose, but may irrevocably damage our lives.
We wouldn't let our kids eat nice-looking candy we found on a park bench. Why would we swallow even attractive facts we find posted by "who knows?" on an internet site?
Again, I know none of US need that reminder, but---spread the word, ok?
= new reply since forum marked as read
My friend, who I’ve never met but sent a friend request and seems nice, is always sending me news articles that validate my own beliefs. He completes me.
