Irks me

It may be silly but one of my biggest pet peeves is how ignorant people read stuff or hear it and suddenly believe it. I know I have been guilty of it before. Not so much anymore. The availabilty of information now days is incredible. Unfortunately, anyone with a computer can release information and even pose as a profesional. The information can not be trusted just because it exists. I have read things about the idea that seeing to much pink causes cancer...Seriously. And I have met people who actually believe it because they read it. Cancer is caused by damage to cells. How does a color damage your cells??? It doesn't. I saw magazines talking about Osama's autopsy. One problem....THERE WAS NO AUTOPSY! Yes, a lot of what they said they found in the autopsy was true but it wasn't found out about because of the autopsy. It had been known that he probably would not have lived much longer any way. Just because it's printed doesn't mean it's true. Most people will believe it. I try not to get to annoyed but it's just one of those things that really irks me.
