Another day, another Facebook shares of Southwest Airlines free ticket scam giveaways. This pops up in my feed ever so often. And try as I might, by commenting withe Snopes Something for Nothing link, it never seems to go away. This time it was different. It was college educated folks which were sharing it. People who should know better. But I guess there is no stopping someone from quickly sharing a scam rather than doing some homework to figure out if it is true or not.
That same day it was shared we discussed in our Bible class how we should consult our Bibles rather than just believing whatever our preacher / bible class teacher said. And I only wish this was the case for all media, not just religious teachings.
Meanwhile that same night I had a realtor friend share a false news story about how Kevin Costner is moving to my hometown. And I think I probably won’t be buying a home from that realtor anytime soon.
