I've just been having an argument over the last few days with a couple of friends on facebook
One of them posted a video recorded by some guy pointing his phone at some amazing lights in the sky. I happen to recognise it from a scott manly video. It's a space-x launch.
So I tell him it's space-x. He doesn't buy it. So we argue for days. With me being very not arrogant, non-combatant and I explained it as succinctly as I think anyone could. My other friend then comes in and claims it looks inter-dimensional. And shares some 'real' UFO videos from youtube.
THESE ARE GROWN MEN in their 40s. They are also anti-vaccination. and anti-GMO, think Chemtrails are real and also think that my belief in science equates to religious belief.
There IS NO GETTING THROUGH TO THESE CUNTS. They live in opposite land.

I like that you bracket anti vaccination with anti GMO, but I know a fair few anti GMO types and they would consider the anti vaccination lot insane but describe themselves as well informed and rational.
I buy lottery tickets and just last week was incensed when I had no choice but to walk over three drains.

because they are very strongly against GMO as they are against vaccination. Using the same rationale and same sort of evidence to back up their opinion. Which is basically, fake news, wordpress blogs and MEMEs. Don't forget that Pro-GMO is not the same thing as Pro-Monsanto. I myself try to eat organic when it comes to meat at least. But I'm not evangelical about it.

days?
You had plenty of time to show them the Scott Manley video then?
Or was it a solid three day argument with no breaks?
