Convincing ideas

If someone says a thing or someone is bad, and another says it or they are good.
More seem to agree with the former. Even if proof of good is found later.Also if the bad
is very bad it's even more true.

Perhaps it's a defence responce, to play it safe. Where looking on the good side
takes optimisim.

People who are accused of child abuse are lookd down on as being guildty even if they
are later found to be innocent.

People have always been drawn to more negative news and opinions. Your guilty if you say yes. Your guilty and suspicious if you say no. And your guilty and hiding it if you say no comment.
It's been said that rats can gain access to your home by climbing up threw your toilet. I prefer to use the front door.

Usually people tend to asume something they don't know is bad, whatever it is unless you give them a reason to think something that is good. Maybe it's an evolutional mechanism. For example: Imagine it's caveman age (However it's called  :P ) And you find a fruit you've never seen before: someone who will just go ahead and try it because it's really positivist may try it and the fruit may be poisonous. Someone who's negative may not try it and live.
