I'd wager more than half.

Hate is a strong word, but I hate Donald Trump so fucking much.

I don't "chide" anyone. I made a suggestion. There is no law that says anyone has to follow the suggestions of AVClub's famous ElectricSheep.

That's what you're asking me now, but that's after you said that I said that the anti-vaxxers had a point. I never said any such thing. I don't anticipate meeting any flat earthers, so this is a moot and silly question. Furthermore, if someone thinks the Earth is flat, I don't give a shit, so I'd say fine whatever…

I hear what you're saying just fine. I was agreeing with you that you cannot change minds by telling people that they're dumb. I never claimed to know how to change their minds even knowing that, though.

True I don't think their reasons are actually legitimate, just that it's best to know what the reasons are so that you can address them. Just saying hey you're stupid rarely leads to a change of heart, even if it's true.

I love Josh Charles so much. I also love Law and Order. The subject matter of this one doesn't interest me but I guess I will check out a couple of episodes.

Where did I say anti-vaxxers "have a point"?

*dap*

True indeed.

Then in that case you need to read up on the science yourself and speak to multiple ethical doctors. The people who do that aren't the ones who are mocked and ridiculed. Anyway, you should get your kids vaccinated.

Actually it wasn't pulled out of nowhere. It was pulled from a study that was later debunked. The study got much more press than the actual debunking did. Add that to the fact that most people don't know anyone who has ever gotten measles or mumps, or anyone who has been seriously ill from the flu, and they are…

"The problem is that they do 'think X for no reason.'"

Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I'm just reporting what their reasoning is.

" your story about the doctor who recommended a spinal tap to alleviate a two-months-old's fever sure is crazy"

"But I have to wonder why it is so surprising for parents to be terrified at the thought of inflicting something on their children that they even have the passing thought could do them great harm."

I've had a talk with several of them in my mom group, and they all say the same thing—I don't know anyone who has gotten the measles or died from the flu. And my answer is well that's because vaccines exist, numbnuts. (The "numbnuts" is just in my head.) And then I tell them to read up on historical measles and flu…

"examining the for-inexplicable-reasons controversial issue of vaccinations"

As well they should, as his remarks are worthy of condemnation, even if many of us have made similar jokes in private. It's not cool to call for the assassination of the president just because we don't like him. That's not how we do things in this country and that kind of talk should be criticized. Liberals…

Yeah…no, none of that is going to happen to Johnny Depp. And I don't know that any elected officials are close enough to him to need to bother distancing themselves. Are elected officials hanging out with Johnny Depp in their spare time?
