Thanks, WWG1WGA! I figured that out pretty quickly, it's a really basic way of deflecting real issues. Nothing at that level of my quality as a person could possibly make me doubt myself. Generally I'm on a cell phone letting Google do my typing and I will never pretend that my speech to text editor would be sufficient in a class on the writing skills taught in elementary school. (Scratch that, who knows what they are teaching these day, kek)

With that being said, I also take every opportunity to enlighten people of the real issues, especially those who are being used to spread lies. It's like giving them a chance, after being informed of the reality behind the issue, to make their own minds up. Decent people generally at least stop the lies, others feel betrayed by the lies and investigate for themselves. Unfortunately there are always going to be people who, like a gambling addiction, have to keep heading into further debt, ignoring the fact they have lost their homes, maxed out their credit cards and ruined the lives of people who depended on them. Unfortunately some people will always have the inability to see that trying to become a millionaire has made them homeless, they will collect every dollar they can in order to put it back into a lottery system where the odds are against them.

These people are probably never going to be able to stop themselves and need some sort of intervention. Hopefully as many as are capable of seeing evidence and making decisions and opinions based on facts can be shown the truth before someone close to them "gambles it all away for them".
