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 *****.

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.
