Nothing whatsoever.
Not being a medieval simpleton, and all.

I am continually surprised at how ignorant Bobby Pires is. The boy seems bereft of basic facts that most people have learned by their third birthday.

I am still aghast at the statistic I posted a week or so back - namely that 25% of 16-24-year-olds do not know that the principal ingredient of cheese is MILK. This makes my fucking head hurt.

How can so many people be so terrifyingly ignorant? HOW????

I often can't quite believe it myself
the biggest shock I found was seeing that site that mabazritchie posted on. I just couldn't comprehend that sort of thinking.

Same here
I'm exposed to all sorts of nastiness on a daily basis, but that website just floored me with how utterly ignorant and hateful those people are.

the hatefulness I can understand (not the target I hasten to add)
but the ignorance was stunning. There is just no rational thought there whatsoever.

You can't be racist if you're rational.

very true
the scale of it wasn't apparent to me until I saw that site. It opened my eyes.

You could argue that it's inflated by virtue of being anonymous
(to some extent) on the Internet. But then people meet up at BNP (and worse) rallies and express similar vulgar opinions.

People like Bobby Pires are teaching them.

You are onto something here.

speaking of statistics
apparently half of people who have ever lived have been killed because of diseases delivered by mosquito

quite mind-boggling.

And 50% of the people who watched QI...
...have since repeated that fact.

I'd wager it's more than that
interesting though.

Because they're all drinking "milk" in which the chief ingredient is lead.

We're all about historical references today, Monty.
My cat got lead poisoning once, completely wiped out his sense of balance, properly hilarious.

Aren't we just?
I am very happy about this.

When I was a kid who didn't know any better
I cut my cat's whiskers. He got his head stuck in stuff for a week.

I'm going to enjoy the irony
when you have your fingers snipped off by an irate mecha-cat, in the Future.
