Title: What Did You 'Learn' From The Internet Today?
Post by: mongers on July 04, 2016, 02:14:40 PM
I learnt that:

Quote
Obama has been drawing down our military and it will soon be at preWWII levels.
If Hillary gets into office she will continue to gut our military.

:hmm:

Are these sort of myths breed and disseminated on social media?
Why do most of those who repeat them, do so in such a critical way?


So my question is, what facts did you learn from the Internet today?

I learnt that the racist graffiti on the Polish Cultural Centre was "Fuck Off OPM"  :hmm:

Now I wonder who or what OPM is. Maybe the graffiti was written by an EUIV fanatic who is accusing Poland of being a One Province Minor  :o

Wonder if any of these studies have ever been done to smear a competitor
