This is a question Ignorance

I once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

Yes, they are.
Just because your opinion states otherwise doesn't make it any less of an irrefutable fact.

'Mutually exclusive' would mean that one can either be reactionary or stupid, not both.
Nice work, dictionary boy.

He's state-educated, what do you expect.

Quite frankly, Wooders, I expected better of a state educated, pro-violence, SPORT ARE TROOP'S, heavy metal, gingivitis-ridden sociopath.
Seems that in his frantic rush over to dictionary.com to actually find out what 'reactionary' meant, he neglected to ensure that he also knew what 'mutually exclusive' means.

I would say that I pity him, but no doubt he would get a chubbo as a result and have to vigorously masturbate to be able to source an iota of joy in his bleak, depressing and suicidally-tinged life.

He's probably over there now, looking up 'precludes'.

Probably votes BNP too, you know what those ignorant opinionated types are like.

Leave him alone Wooders, he's still crying about the whole 'looking silly on the internet' thing.

You're right

what, worse than being born?

Yes?
