but for the record, I would say s/t like:

You can't help me understand the arguments you're advancing? That's strange, isn't it?

@rpardee

The great thing about beating your head against a brick wall is that it feels SO GOOD when you stop.

I give you credit for trying, though. I don't have the energy to bother any more. If it's possible to deprogram them in the first place, it's not anything I could tell them that would do it.

@Tarnagh heh, you're right of course. Who was it that said you can't logic someone out of an opinion they weren't logicked into? Or something like that.

@rpardee I used to 100% be that comic, but then I slowly realized arguing with stupid people just isn't worth it anymore, especially when you come the realization that no amount of evidence will dissuade them.

@rpardee

Bozo bonus points to this clown for having absolutely no clue what the Tuskegee Experiment actually was.

All it proved is that not treating syphilis is a bad idea.

@mcfate @rpardee

Well, that AND that using unwitting black men as test subjects is also a bad idea. But your point holds.

@mcfate @rpardee
Seems that their leader, :Asshat: , isn't figured out the syphilis thing yet either... So why would they?

@rpardee

I was at the park the other day and a guy was there with his kid. We started chatting, as is typical when your kids are playing together. I was looking at a line across the entire sky that seemed too straight and faded to be a contrail. He started talking about chemtrails. I laughed in his face and asked if he actually believed that and he sheepishly said, "no". When I prodded the subject, he said he'd never actually looked into it.
