When you learn that something you've been told, read, gotten a chain letter about - like the idiotic "President Obama giving away Alaskan Islands" lie ... When you find out that you have been lied to, that the chain letter is a lie, what do you do?
Do you send links back to the people who sent you the lie?
Do you make any move at all to correct that lie?
-- OR --
Because you know it will reflect badly on the president, do you let the lie go on, even spreading it further yourself, even though it makes you look like an idiot?
IOW, do you make any effort to really search out the truth?
Or, like the post about the Alaskan Islands, do you just keep spreading the lies?
Final question:
Are you answering THIS thread honestly?
