How DARE you not respect the obvious stupidity of others??!?!

I heard that the act of comparing two things immediately gives the lesser of those two things some validity simply because they are being compared. I didn't believe it at the time, but I sure do now.

Case in point: vaccines cause autism vs no that's fucking stupid.

Somehow we all thought it was fucking moronic, but now we live in a world where it is somehow NOT immediately dismissed as bullshit.

Is it wrong to hope for a nearby nuclear disaster? Seems less painful than current conditions.
