There's a lot of ignorance and stupidity in the world. As far as I can tell, all anyone can do is accept it. Pointing it out to the offender does no good, and often makes matters worse. I suppose I should say "easy" for me, but only because I'm trying to not allow these types of things to bother me.
It's supposed to be about having fun and sharing our perspectives and treating each other with dignity and respect. What does it matter to you if someone else has a false opinion? Why should it matter at all?
