Oh, and they jumped all over this. I knew as soon as I saw her that, oh boy, the fragile white boys of all ages would be out in force.

You bring up good issue Geekology, but you haven’t read the book, and you are assuming that the author has just ignored these issues too, and that’s not true at all - in fact, he deals with them in great depth and detail. Everything from genetic engineering offspring to live in space to pregnancy and atrifical wombs…

What’s that? Facts have a liberal bias, something, something.

Exactly, it applies to both sides. Homeopathic bs is the domain of the left as well.

Intolerant to ignorant, disproven theories spouted by allegedly informed people... yes.

While there is plenty of biased commentary in the article, you can’t possibly be saying that expressing the fact that the vast majority of scientists, as well as currently accepted, peer-reviewed studies, are a liberally biased opinion. Even if it’s something every liberal in the world is screaming about, doesn’t mean…

nah, we just hate free range idiocy

There is no bias in calling out idiots for saying completely idiotic shit. The fact that you don’t see this kind of fire for the left means they don’t spout unscientific shit off every chance they get, unlike some other folks some people saw on TV last night.

If you have a hard time accepting science, then maybe Gizmodo isn’t the blog for you. If a Democratic presidential candidate made the same comments and wasn’t blasted here, then you’d have something to complain about.

you are making my point - the speed at which most comments and posts here seek the extreme are incredible.

It boggles my mind how much anti-science garbage gets bandied about in the comments at Giz.

“Lemme guess, you got all this information after ten minutes of googling?”

Yeah, that’s why I included right-wing extremists as well (in parens). I was trying to tell OP that correcting anti-science is not a partisan endeavor since both liberals and conservatives have their own anti-science contingents.

Oh boy. You know things are really hitting a high note when someone references Nazi Germany.

The very fact that you’ve made this all about you and your feelings tells me everything I need to know about you.

Their comment history is a good example of extreme paranoia. If this was a real place they’d be the crazy person screaming on the streets about the government implanting microchips in their penis.

People who like vaccines are the far left?

So you’re saying that Ben Carson got his science right then? That’s the real issue here. Not his politics, but his announced understanding of the science of vaccines. If you think he got the science right, then stop bitching about the politics and offer up some proof supporting his view of vaccines.

That’s not true either. It’s people from both sides of the political spectrum that believe that shit. The GOP has basically decided to take up the cause though. I have yet to see any of the people running on the Democratic side peddling it.
