Why is it that if something is slightly out of the ordinary, then it must be ''made-up'', or a ''lie''?
eg. some medical condition or a news story where the tables have been turned, a direct statement by a political party which is slightly out of character, all of these can be searched into google for evidence, including photos of the people, yet why are some people so quick to say 'made up bs troll! im not clicking on that link!'?
The same goes for crazy kids in school. This guy is obviously mentally ill and on the verge of doing something bad, yet everyone else is oblivious to it, and instead I get called the crazy one. Two weeks later after warnings and being called a lunatic, he comes into school with a knife and almost kills a guy. Nothing was done about it, the teachers didn't believe me, they too were oblivious when it was blatantly obvious.

Because we are a society bound bye the box our government gives us. We are taught from an early age that thinking is bad. Just do as your told, don't make waves, and follow the rules. When something different comes around it doesn't conform to what we are conditioned to do. The more out of the ordinary the more resistance you are going to run into. Think about when people thought the Earth was the center of the Universe.

Anomallies make people hesitate because most of them are lies. It must be very frustrating for those rare truth-tellers out there.
