Do some ppl just not want to know the truth?

people would rather believe a TV rather than think for themselves. your right. people a lot of the time dont want the truth. they want the "pink fuzzy bunny" of truth. a nice neat little package that everyone likes to see, hear, feel, and listen to.\n\n200 years ago we would have revolted against our government. now we do nothing. not even running, ourselves, for public office.

Humm good question. What really matters to me is truth, we're a truth challenged society, and I don't just mean the USA  I mean the global village. On dating sites we lie about who we are, let's not even talk about politicians  ( I think they have a second face surgically installed just  so they can tell untruths more convincingly) even to ourselves we can't tell the truth, we're so used to talking out of both sides of our head we don't know the truth from a lie any more. I don't think we need to be offensive with the truth but it seems these days that only Klansmen and Idiots feel free to be truthful about the way they feel (not that any of us want to hear it). But I think we all need to be more honest with ourselves and each other.

Nice generalisation. The sharing of true facts can never harm people, But i do have to kind of agree with you on the reason some of the questions are asked. I would hope that people use common sense and answer the more risky questions with tact and diplomacy, With knowledge comes responsibility

Whatever you do don't "beat around the bush" to say cause it can hurt to not know the truth. Just asked anyone who has ever been lied to.

because they see what they want to see.. not the truth..

They do that because they are afraid of hearing about things that go against what they believe in.

I'm not sure they are remotely interested in the facts.  I think part of the problem in this venue is that some of these people are here just to rant. They  make absolutely no sense or they are terribly young and naive, whatever the case they need to check facts before they answer questions and don't need to ask them.

Because people hate being told a lie. The notion that there is some age old cover up is unnerving. Thats why there is so much interest in conspiracies involving the United States, such as the events of 9/11 or JFK's assasination. As painful as the truth could be, a lie seems to hurt much more. People, especially Christians, are looking to see if there is any truth to the story, which is why the phenomenon has gone global.

This is truly a question that has way to long of an answer to be on Yahoo...\n\nLet's just say that people do not want to stop being here, and are afraid to find out what's after here...

Personally no I havent. But I'm almost positive that some folks that answer "no" to this quesion will be less than honest. I mean its the internet home of deceit lol.

In my experience, yes, they tell the truth.  However they do not alway tell the whole truth.  And sometimes they don't know what is the truth in spite of their best intentions.  They are human as are we all.  They do the best they can.

Well, you cant accept all the answers when you are asked to select "best Answer" and there are no best answers.\nSome people answer without reading the fine print below the question to even check what the question is really about or to see if their answers may have already been eliminated by what is written in the smaller print. \nIn other words, some people shoot off at the mouth what is on their tongue before putting brain or heart in gear.\nAnother thing is, most people accept what was washed into their brain from infancy and never tried to assert themselves as men or women or as "of age" to speak for themselves.\nHistory is written to serve those who wish to be served by what they write, and so is corrupt Scripture, and the human being is one lazy animal, (pardon my French) who will not lift a finger if he/she thinks someone will lift it for him/her, and there are ravening wolves dressed as sheep who know this only too well.\nThe xenophobic does not want his ear or eyes to be assaulted by the truth that he may have missed while he was asleep, and truth offends.\nThe one who knows the Truth will willingly share it ragardless of the reaction. for Truth is the purest of Messages and Truth is not to be compromised.\nWisdom is to know when Truth is like pearls that are cast before swine, and so the wise must keep his silence, but if one in a crowd will gain from Truth, it is worth the risk.\nSo, dont despair, if yours is the Truth, go forward bravely.

It seems to be in our nature to accept the negative as well as the "more interesting" story.  Usually the truth is duller, and therefore, not as much fun to believe.\n\nI don't particularly like this quality, so I've tried for years to wait for all the details before believing or having an opinion on an issue.  Yet I am still guilty of this at times, especially when the story first starts.

E X A C T L Y.\n\nbecause people do not want to hear the truth- they want to sugar coat it- add to it- or water it down so it pleases them....The bible even warns us of those people- in Proverbs it says "do not add to His words, lest he rebuke you and call you a liar"\n\nThey make up a god to suit themselves- they are not even speaking of the one TRUE God when they make stuff up- they are making a god to please them...

No and they don't wanna know.\nMuch like Bush himself they seem convinced that reality will adjust itself if they just keep repeating and believing in the same lies long and hard enough
