Are we worrying about the fully functional adults that still need to be told not to drink Draino?

It wouldn’t be such a concern if they didn’t make up like 40% of the population.

Global population? You say "the", so you obviously mean the one we have in common.

We're all susceptible to this stuff, even when we're aware of it.

Ok but drinking draino is the cure for all life's problems. To each their own, though.

Yeah television doesn’t affect anyone. That’s been a great success. Fox News anybody? Pizzagate?
