The Facts Say

Actually if you have a lawyer mentality then you would know that facts are only facts if it supports there case it doesn't matter if they're prosecutors or defense lawyers. Also, facts are only facts if the jury says or thinks that they are. I'm a judge and I know how attorneys think and how juries think.

This is an ongoing trend which has greatly increased in the last few years. I see it all the time in politics. Someone will state facts and even provide a credible source, And the disagreeing party will twist it around into a battle of opinion. The facts remain but they confuse the facts provided as being an opinion. But in a way the blame can't fully be put on them because psychologically, disagreeing with a person only strengthens their stance on their own views. The result, more arguing. Some people are so fit to their beliefs that they aren't open minded to facts, and can't distinguish fact from opinion I suppose.
