Their comment is a reflection on their own immaturity.
I got into it with a life-long friend (teacher) about obamacare, and our relationship hasn't been the same since.
Stupidity is one human disease that is very unusual in that the primary symptom is that the sufferer fails to recognize the disease in himself and quite often fails to even notice it in others who display outrageously obvious signs of the disease yet the sufferer may often claim to recognize symptoms in almost anyone who is in fact free of symptoms. It may be unique in that anyone who self diagnoses himself as having the disease usually displays no outward symptoms recognizable to others. Most who display the disease remind me of a drunk staggering up to a perfectly sober friend and saying in slurred tones, “You neeeeed tooooo...hic...try toooooo sober up.”
A typical sufferer whom I know but wish I did not know is 37 years old and has actually scored at genius level on IQ tests and has a computer science degree but his major life accomplishment is in running up debt which he seems to have zero chance of repaying. He has yet to figure out a way to support himself, is as entertaining to be around as a dirty pile of laundry, has the good judgement of an Elena Kagan and would have been far better off now had he taken a job in a convenience store after high school and stuck with it but he refers to George W. Bush who is a Harvard MBA as well as a Yale graduate, who was trained as a jet fighter pilot, was twice elected governor of Texas and twice elected POTUS as “retarded”.
