But to get paid to lie is not a good thing.....
Hey, that is what political candidates and elected politicians do.
I find it unique in American society that the Right to Free Speech and Freedom of the Press, under that umbrella which social media is covered, allows "lies, mis-statements, and deception" to exist. 1930`s-40`s Nazi propaganda leader Joseph Geobbels said, "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
It sometimes impossible to tell the difference between what is truth and what is false information. Most will draw their own conclusions from personal experience or information from trusted sources, like parents or teachers or pastors, or as it pertains to vehicle detailing, from fellow Autopians and their posts within this forum. Do I agree with all opinions express here in this forum? NO, but as stated in other posts, a vast majority of you have greatly impacted my detailing to make it better and more enjoyable, as I am sure other Autopians can attest to that as well.
I just despise social media because so much is said under the guise of anonymity with little repercussion of accountability for what was said (typed and posted) that perpetuates and encourages this propaganda of lies about all facets of life that it becomes the truth of their life for many who participate in it. It is, indeed, a two-edge sword because it also opens a world of information about those life subjects right in palm of your smart-phone holding hand! We`ve probably all used some YouTube video for a home repair or car repair project, or as this thread alludes to, a detailing products review. Sometimes you take the good with the bad and the truth with the lies. Maybe it`s time to listen to Johnny Cash`s song "What is Truth?" and ponder that statement.
