Every day in the NYC papers there is a story of a child - usually a male - scalded to death in a bathtub for bad behavior. Al Sharpton certainly doesn’t care!
And, you’re right, nothing brings out kooks like this subject. The only other subject I can think of that brings out the kooks is the story of some poor lazy, disgusting, unintelligent slob without an engineering degree on Unemployment because of the Obama economy.
There are several other subjects that bring out the Neanderthals. Capital punishment is one. A favorite posting I remember here on FR: complaining because someone about to be executed was allowed to see a priest, and went to confession. It was “cheating,” because the purpose of the death penalty is to send criminals to Hell.
