Why you can't win an argument on the internet

I love this post.

From the article:
The Misconception: When your beliefs are challenged with facts, you alter your opinions and incorporate the new information into your thinking.

The Truth: When your deepest convictions are challenged by contradictory evidence, your beliefs get stronger.


So when it comes down to it, people might be stupid (myself included).

What I'd like you to take from this post is, that you should go to this website...often literallyunbelievable.org  hahaha
