My perspective is that it's okay to try and find some kind of middle ground in most circumstances, but moderation for its own sake is no virtue.

I disagree with UP on some subjects, but here he is 100% accurate.

Yeah, if the pagans are so smart, why did Jesus invade Pagan-land on the back of a dragon and kill them all!

So Ben Carson said that the victims of the recent school shooting should have just rushed the gunman, and that we should arm kindergarten teachers.

How can someone be a Brain Surgeon and be so goddamn stupid?

Because despite its complexities brain surgery is really a just simple straight-forward affair. You go in with plan, a support team composed of experts, all the tools you need, and a clear cut objective. Neat and orderly. There is very little thinking on your feet and crisis management.

It's about as far removed from the ugliness of the real world as you can get this side of academia. If he were a combat medic or an ER surgeon his stupidity would be surprising, but this isn't.

The smarter you are the better you are at rationalizing your beliefs. Being introspective and actually able to objectively check if those beliefs and prejudices are correct is a completely separate skill and not everyone has it regardless of how smart they are otherwise.

He always acts and looks like he's thoroughly baked. Totally chill, sleepy-eyed and giggling inappropriately. If I saw him in person, I'd hand him a bag of Doritos.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

I wonder if he'll get offended if you hand him a bag of those rainbow colored ones, cause the gay is bad according to him.
