This is one of those XKCD cartoons I have to keep in mind constantly. (The other is the one which shows several characters on a train, all thinking about how happy they are to be the only sane person in a trainload of sheep.)
Yep, I think we've all went through that stage (with occasional relapses). But, eventually you figure out that those wrong people rarely change their minds and even if they did, other wrong people would fill the void. The world has an endless supply of wrong people. We had an idea that was the case in the age before computers, but the Internet removed all doubt.
I have learnt that there is no point in arguing with idiots - and that there are countless numbers of them. Life is *far* too short for that kind of thing.

One of my favorites. I've shared it many times.
It made me laugh because of the memories I had of some of the debates/arguments I've engaged in with strangers over the years.
Same here. I completely relate to the cartoon!

I'd never heard of XKCD before..... I do now though... [grin]
Perhaps the only thing that can keep me up later than hunting aliens.
