Yes, essentially those who accuse others of needing help.

What's up with that ?

To me, nothing's wrong with somebody's opinion, as the name of this forum is "Community Chat," on a shopping channel forum. 

I don't see anywhere in the Standards that people are supposed to post facts. I don't know who came up with that idea. 

By the name of the forum alone, I would imagine that people would post about all different types of subjects that would invite conversations.

If you "google" there are all kinds of people (conspiracy theorists) on websites  who claim they've been abducted by aliens and have seen UFO's, others claim that WTC was an inside job created by GWB and they have the photos to "prove" it... and others believe that Sandy Hook never happened. They have all kinds of evidence "proving" their facts. Other on religious websites claim they have received miracle healings and have seen Heaven. Some say the Jesus was born of a virgin and other argue that there is no proof of that.

You can argue with some 'til you're blue in the face and they will show you evidence to support their truth and facts.

Ohmigosh.......I know somebody like that.    Claims to "open the door and walk right in".........      I didn't know there were "others" like that.    I thought my acquaintance was just a bit odd..................

Even gravity is a theory (cannot be proven why or how), so exactly what are facts.

Try reading Einstein re: general relativity.  : )

Einstiens THEORY OF RELATIVITY is used to explain why things fall.  Again exactly what are facts.

From this website:http://www.space.com/17661-theory-general-relativity.html

In 1905, Albert Einstein determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, and that the speed of light in a vacuum was independent of the motion of all observers. This was the theory of special relativity. It introduced a new framework for all of physics and proposed new concepts of space and time.

Einstein then spent 10 years trying to include acceleration in the theory and published his theory of general relativity in 1915. In it, he determined that massive objects cause a distortion in space-time, which is felt as gravity.

The tug of gravity

Two objects exert a force of attraction on one another known as "gravity." Sir Isaac Newton quantified the gravity between two objects when he formulated his three laws of motion. The force tugging between two bodies depends on how massive each one is and how far apart the two lie. Even as the center of the Earth is pulling you toward it (keeping you firmly lodged on the ground), your center of mass is pulling back at the Earth. But the more massive body barely feels the tug from you, while with your much smaller mass you find yourself firmly rooted thanks to that same force. Yet Newton's laws assume that gravity is an innate force of an object that can act over a distance.

Albert Einstein, in his theory of special relativity, determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, and he showed that the speed of light within a vacuum is the same no matter the speed at which an observer travels. As a result, he found that space and time were interwoven into a single continuum known as space-time. Events that occur at the same time for one observer could occur at different times for another.

As he worked out the equations for his general theory of relativity, Einstein realized that massive objects caused a distortion in space-time. Imagine setting a large body in the center of a trampoline. The body would press down into the fabric, causing it to dimple. A marble rolled around the edge would spiral inward toward the body, pulled in much the same way that the gravity of a planet pulls at rocks in space.

You might be thinking of Gallileo and his Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment where he demonstrated how objects fall equally.

The Theory of Relativity explains that the Theory of Gravity works.  It does not explain why or how gravity works, thus it is a theory.

You're not using theory in the scientific sense, CrazyDaisy.

Hmmm! Your facts may not coincide with my facts. I always try to let readers of my post know when it is "just my opinion, of course".

 Some of the time my posts are fact based, facts as I interpret them to be. Does that mean "my facts" are always right and someone else's are wrong?

There is a reason there are 9 Justices on the Supreme Court. They all read/hear the same "facts(?)", but?? I don't believe all 9 agree that often.

In regards to your question: "what's up with that"?  Life is full of differences and that is why I have so much fun living it.  Relax/Enjoy!
