human nature. its amazing how people limit themselves because of pre conceived "Ive got to be right" bull$**** ideas.

Answer 4

Good question, I see a lot of propaganda and agenda driven statements that pay little or no heed to the truth, it just seems to be the truth they decide to make up to make themselves right, and others go along with it.

Answer 5

Answer 6

People usually force their ideologies on you because they don't have enough belief/security in their ideology.  If they can make you feel wrong, then they somehow feel their perspective is right.  Someone who truly believes in what they think wont need to argue with you to convince themselves they are right.
