WTF? cant believe this

 

Different view points.

 

I don't believe it, especially coming from that site. It's very entertaining though, just like the article called
Why You Shouldn’t Be Able To Name Your Child Anything You Want

 

I never met anyone who believed that, and I never believed in it myself.

 

I seriously doubt that is true. I dont think anyone (much) is that dumb. I would be very surprised if 1 out of 1000 people believed that - Unless they were 6 years old.

 

I can't believe it's true either. I wondering what part of the US that poll was conducted in!

 

Probably in Bakersfield

 

Belief alone cannot prove a thing. Exact proofs and verifications can make a statement to a fact.

 

Most the folks in this area believe this
Crawford, Texas.. Hometown of President George W. Bush

Think about it, its called believing all the public are gullible

 

I'm guessing i it is the case it has more to do with religion than education.

Still it begs the question how people can ignore scientific facts so conveniently.

 

Not just in US probably ....

 

I think this part of the article seems to be the key,

I guess that goes for most religions.

 

the other 80% of americans believe the sun revolves around america J/K

 

Actually nothing is constant, sun is also a kind of star. And somewhere i have read that, even sun moves a quite space.

 

well considering there are still people who think the world is flat then YES I can easily believe this.


you think I'm joking?
