Obvious shit

Why is it that so many people deny raw facts?

The holocaust happened
Ron Paul isn't going to win
We have too many people in prison
The free market needs regulations
Guns are dangerous and should be banned
A woman should be able to have an abortion
Free healthcare has worked for France
Iran getting a nuclear bomb would be dangerous
Prostitution is harmful to women

>>57
Holocaust
And the sad part is that when you say that, it doesn't matter how hard you point out the fallacy of "doesn't believe in the Mandated Truth and so therefore Nazi", people will now sacrifice any truth necessary so they can paint you in Nazi colours.

prison
A look at what it is that gets criminalised in the first place, might not hurt.

market regulations
The really amazing thing here, is how pigheadedly people can stick to their beliefs and still refuse to recognise them as a (de facto) religion.
I am of course talking about market liberalists, and how they'll bend over backwards to deny the mounting evidence that a completely unregulated market will misbehave, and systemically. The usual "bad apples" mantra really only goes so far.

health care
In the US, you can't touch public health care or else you're a commie. Health issues – ANY health issue, by the looks of it – is a time-honoured path to bankruptcy.
In Norway, the government is allergic to private enterprise. You'll get that hospital bed, just you wait. And wait. And wait.

nukes
I'm gonna abstain from the obligatory comments about the US getting the bomb. For now.
