There are too many fucking morons in this country to count.


Yet again the BBC is feeding the 'have your say fuckwit' Web Of Morons mentality as if what Shane from Scunthorp thinks really matters in the great scheme of things.

Crippen has a go at the original BBC article here.

Of course, the reality is that people are stupid. And they make stupid choices. Like building up credit card debt, not getting their kids vaccinated, and allowing the Middle Ages to happen.

As society gives up on science (ironically because science has defeated most of the things these fuckwits feared, and they now have forgotten there was ever anything to be afraid in the first place), the barbarians will return to power.

Result, lots of dead people, the return of all those bad things, and (after centuries of suffering) the return to rational thought.

Shame the rest of us have to suffer this just because the morons are in the majority.

They're not just in the majority - they comprise the leadership of all the political parties, media, and professions.

It'll all end in tears.

A return to rational thought?

I wouldn't count on it. Groupthink can never be entirely rational, partly because the level of reasoning necessary for it to take hold is rarely very deep..

There are too many Morons- There is a high number of idiots ready to shoot their mouth off as well.

It is the same as every bad journo hack made at Heathcare/Medical/Nursing/Paramedic services. There is 2 distinct reactions to events:
1) Wondercure for [insert ailment] using [insert treatment]. Yipee!
2) Doctors/Nurses/Paramedic are all going to Kill us! Look, we even have the Pseudo science and anecdotal evidence to prove it! There's a load of rubbish attributed to some bloke with a PhD, so it must be right?

Logic is very nice but sometimes cannot be beaten by actual thourght and intellect.

It's the Bonfire of the Vanities all over again.........people as a species really don't learn from their mistakes

That's it, then. The LPUK want to abolish income tax, get rid of the farcical handgun ban and allow you to do a Jack Bauer on anyone who breaks into your house....

You can't say they lack a decent manifesto :)

I'm pretty certain we'd be happy to have more than 1 doctor on our membership rosta!
