Well, people around here talk about how much we need to keep FR alive because we need a common sense conservative exchange forum, and yet we tolerate such non-sense. I should, like most, just ignore it, but then not pushing back against ignorance and dumbing down of society is a big part of why we are where we are today. So on a few issues, I just don’t tolerate the nonsense anymore. I’m calling stupid what it is, Stupid with a capitol S. Laughing at truly mentally retarded people is cruel. Laughing at people who ‘act’ in every way retarded can be entertaining for a while.

Live long and prosper.😜

True .
Maybe worth trying to educate folks with wacko views; but that’s likely a waste of time

Lighten up Frances ... what's wrong with a little light hearted saturday fringe talk. It was something a lot of folks have enjoyed ... lot's of posts and more then just one liners.
It's good for folks to engage a bit on trivial things , it makes it easier to get evolved in the issues that matter.
Grease the skids so to speak.
You want to do big foot next ... I hear they are looking for nese this week?

This is an excellent article explaining why calling flat earthers “stupid” is a really bad idea.

Short version: If science wants to earn people’s respect it needs to fully respect and understand views that it rejects.
