Political extremism/religious fundamentalism is sometimes so hateful and militant that I'm really wondering why it is legal, while politically incorrect jokes receive enormous backlash. Don't get me wrong, I don't want them to get imprisoned (the last thing we need are martyrs), it just causes "wow" moments whenever I see how positively rated comments/videos (particularly on YouTube) that praise Hitler get, while most videos that argue against stuff like racism or conspiracy theories get abysmal ratings ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNA3YMmC9zM ) and the dumbest imaginable personal attacks to the uploader ("The uploader is a Jew!!!!"). At least their legality argues against the alleged hidden dictatorships in the western world (the same evil dictatorships that allow them huge communities like Stormfront)… Oh, then there is also this: adultthought.ucsd.edu/Culture_War/The_American_Taliban.html"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war." P.S. One could argue that we have enough threads for stupid statements. However, it wasn't the stupidity, but rather the enormous hatred in these statements that enraged me and none of the other thread is suitable for hate-filled claims.

Certain deniers are really insane. Global warming deniers for example have days where they encourage increases CO2 output with the simple reason of annoying those dumb "warmists": www.carbonbelch.com/HIV deniers are similar geniuses with some of them advising people with AIDS taking anti-HIV medications as there is allegedly not enough evidence to conclude that HIV causes AIDS. These two examples probably show when stupidity becomes danger.

meanwhile in florida... "A Florida man who tossed a live 3 1/2-foot alligator through a Wendy’s drive up window has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to do less than murder by Palm Beach county prosecutors for what the man’s parents said was a prank that went wrong. According to the Washington Post, Joshua James of Jupiter, Fla., apparently threw the alligator through the drive thru window at Wendy’s last fall, and was identified via a credit card receipt for a drink he had purchased at the fast food restaurant. According to reports, after he ordered the drink, he tossed the alligator through the window as the cashier had her back to James. Police came and restrained the alligator, which was later released into a canal near the restaurant. James was arrested February 8 and charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to do less than murder, unlawful sale, possession or transporting of an alligator; and petty theft. James admitted to authorities that he found the alligator on the side of the road and threw it through the Wendy’s drive up window. James’ parents described him as a prankster who idolized the late conservationist Steve Irwin. They allege that he was pranking an employee at the restaurant who he knew. “It was just a stupid prank that he did that’s now turning into this; it’s stupid,” Linda James told WPTV. “He’s a prankster. He does stuff like this because he thinks it’s funny.” link

This. biblelovenotes.blogspot.com/2013/08/Fireflies.html May I again remind everyone that I myself am a devout Roman Catholic who strongly believes and supports evolution, so the sheer amount of stupidity I see from other Christians is purely aggravating. It appears that the Dunning-Kruger effect is common in other Christian groups.

I wouldn't have charged the kid with assault but I think an animal abuse one would have been more fitting.

I'd say the entire anti-science movement deserves a mention for their declaration of ignorance as a virtue (and as I mentioned above, their views are sometimes not just stupid, but also dangerous for the health of people or the planet, not to mention that they fuel fundamentalism and extremism).

That conservapedia isn’t intended as satire.
