Because you knew it was from a Joke site...
If you had posted in the joke forum, then anyone missing that is a valid prey, but posting it without a link as news is not only devious...shameful

:roll:

Northern Ontario,
LOL, I don't know why you think your opinion matters to me.

Maybe you can find this one on snopes too.

While your sentiment is nice you're actually wrong and here's why. In one of the many experiments they found that when you put a picture of eyes over the office coffee fund the contributions triple. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn9424-big-brother-eyes-make-us-act-more-honestly

People are essentially dishonest, self serving and self absorbed and we are hard wired that way. Everyone will tell you they are not and most folks truly believe they are good people but human experiment after human experiment proves we will do just about everything from stealing candy from children to torturing strangers (McGill study in the 1950s trying to find out why there was so much cruelty during WWII by otherwise decent people).
OK, every single person on the planet is an a*shole. Whatever you need to believe to get through your day, son.

One of the few decent defensive arguments in favour of religion I've seen is that the prospect of punishment in the hereafter restrains some people from behaving even worse than they do now.
Have any data to back that up, or just talking out your a*s? The reason I ask is you cited data for your first two paragraphs, but strangely, you don't for this one.

Well some official group finally said it and I do hope they don't try to tell me there is no
Santa/ Imagine no sleigh no reindeer no magic bag of toys/ All these people speaking
in tongues and counting on miracles and God knows what else.
I find it interesting that there isn't more push back

Hey grumpy, apparently you are in the global minority. It's less than half of the whole world. The global minority. You're in it. Apparently. You and many other people, around the world, but not so many as to be a majority. It's an opinion held by less than 50% of people on the planet Earth, of which you are a part. This is apparent and we would like you to know this.

And less than 50% agreed with Christopher Columbus when he said the world was round! :) :)

You really don't follow science do you? Dark matter exists what is hypothetical is the precise role it plays and how pervasive it is.

From NASA in 2006

RELEASE : 06-297
NASA Finds Direct Proof of Dark Matter

Dark atter and normal matter have been wrenched apart by the tremendous collision of two large clusters of galaxies. The discovery, using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes, gives direct evidence for the existence of dark matter.
