At least those silly enough to believe that the Earth is flat and those kind of things don't make any physical harm to others.

But I do have a problem with those that spread shit that does harm to others, like those who claim that vaccines are bad. Two kids died here in Spain last year becuase their parents were stupid enough to believe that shit and they didn't vaccinate their children.

Those kind of people are disgusting and should be accused and send to jail, like those that run sites about anorexia and bulimia.

The problem is with the goverment. If you don't vaccinate your kids, you go to prison. Simple as that.

I'm surprised this wasn't touched on in the OP.  This has to be the single most idiotic thing anyone could do.  Forget a flat earther - they aren't hurting anyone but other gullible, borderline retarded individuals. An anti-vaxer is endangering children, their own and others even if they're vaccinated.  

If only natural selection could have been more bias to these morons before they had offspring.

That's probably because their parents weren't stupid and did vaccinate them.



Please excuse my bad English.

Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet    Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.

So who's the most professional bloody ******** group out there?
1. Extremely religious people who stand in the way of medical advancement (embryo research, stam cell therapy, people refusing medical care for children and choose to pray instead etc.)
2. The antivax Facebook generation which appearently read somewhere that vaccins cause autism.
3 Flat earthers and other dumb conspiracy theorists which have severe thrust issues or lack the ability to think in general, they feel instead and try to explain the world of science with feelings instead of evidence and facts.

If I offended you I am sorry, but nevertheless I think you are still an *****.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

I game for the larger part of my live. Yet I know what CPU, GPU and what the Motherboard do. I don't have a single clue hoe it works other than and I quote captain america for this one "It seems to run some sort of electricity" and sends positive and negative signals to a transistor which counts it and a code with 0's and 1's made which somehow makes me able to play games. I have no idea how to build computerparts or what the structural difference is between a CPU and a GPU.

One common thread when discussing/arguing with these types of people is their influx of emotion for a theory.    There's a difference in being riled up over explaining your position, and having raw, uncontrollable emotion towards a theory.  They behave as if you were assassinating their own character, rather than challenging a belief.  The bolded is a really sad reality of society.

Exactly, I'm much the same way.  

When labor and society became so specialized we don't need to be aware.  This can filter across though when people think their ignorance is equal to another's knowledge.  If you have a question about vaccines, talk to people in medical fields, don't discuss it with Janice at work who heard on the internet it causes autism.  This becomes a problem when other's ignorance then can adversely affect us, especially if they can infludence others.

In a previous post I called this the Facebook gen phenomenon. In which people assume their coworker or Facebook is more reliable than an evidence based journal or article written by a professional. This one is dangerous because more and more people seem to be very much into Facebook and Twitter news which has very little credibility or they just blindly follow youtube celebrities which neatly always try to push a certain agenda.

Lol, I'd love to see someone then explain how we can also see the moon during daytime.

I guess this one is for you.

But I don't thing they mention it during daytime. Yet, still entertaining to watch.

Great video, thanks! So that guy says the moon is a hologram projected on clouds made by pilots. Makes sense lol.

Well, you can project in daylight. But the moon shows always the same side, how should this happen if it is NOT a projection? Hmm, explain that!

Do you want the science behind orbital locking or should we continue making up  fun stories.
