People seem to think they can only catch infections on a physical level. Look at the world right now...
Does anyone believe that the US military is "sane" at the moment? How about police? All you have to do is introduce a "program" into their mentality and viola... they are infected, mentally.
"See something say something" campaign... this is a form of a mental infection. People who believe that propaganda will now actually act mentally ill when it comes to others doing normal everyday behaviors and activities, and people will get shot and killed who did nothing wrong because of it.
I can go on and on, but I think you guys get the point. Beware of these low vibrations.

You definitely made the right decision. They will bring you down to their levels of insecurity. They are uncomfortable with themselves, and she sounds like she has Arrested Development problems.
I know many young girls exactly the same. They are also lacking in the intelligence department too.
I don't know if it's the product of bad schooling, a sick cultural program that embedded within them, or it's just a food & water toxin issue, but there are more & more people devolving into adult children.

There is no infection or disease.
There is only true or false facts, and then there are opinions.
You could claim that Math has infected the whole world, and that we are all "sick" with the "disease" of counting things.
But this is pretty absurd, humans share ideas and knowledge through communication. We each have the individual capacity to reject or uphold these ideas as we each see fit.
If you are impressionable and easily misled, than yes other ideas will affect you greatly often times.
But if you are resilient and strong willed, than other ideas have to pass a gamut of criteria and qualifications to be accepted.
I honestly cannot stand the characterization that ideas are "infectious diseases", because you can easily change you mind within seconds and disregard those ideas. However actual diseases are much harder to get rid of.
Sorry to poop on the party. Hopefully my post will serve as the "anti-virus".
