Rumours are spread by fools and accepted by greater fools.’Rumours are a huge problem in our society. Foolish people who simply want to create problems or sensationalize a matter for their own pleasure spread rumours whenever they can. Unfortunately these rumours end up hurting so many people in various different ways.
