There are also commenters who blame all the world's ills on Obama. No surprise.

My sister in MA lives in one of these towns with the double six-figure incomes and the entitled BC/BU/Harvard/Wellesley grads, so I've had to interact with these people a few times. I've noticed two parts to the willful idiocy:First, the bubble - just like fundies, they never talk to anyone outside of their hand-picked circle, and just like fundies they take the fact of their piles of money as a sign that they're God's Elect.Second, class behavior - I'm firmly lower-middle-class (not by choice) and I've noticed that lower class & upper class people don't mind an argument now & then, probably because they both know that their status isn't going to change in this lifetime. But the 1st rule of middle-class and upper-middle-class behavior is Do Not Discuss Anything Of Importance And Do Not Make Me Uncomfortable.So there's that. I guess it's nice having your own little universe.

No, this is completely untrue. Women can be infected with multiple genotypes of HPV, having one strain does not make you immune to any other. When they do become infected by multiple strains, their risk of pre-cancerous cervical lesions increases significantly. Studies have shown that some of the women at the highest risk of cervical cancer have co-infections of HPV 16 and HPV 58. There are more than 170 strains of HPV, more than a dozen of which are considered high risk. Gardasil currently protects against the four most high risk strains and will soon expand to protect against the nine strains most likely to cause cervical cancer and genital warts.

I think elitist is the word you're looking for. They may be liberal on some things but I wouldn't call them rational or responsible where it counts.

The educated crazies are THE worst. The ignorant falling for it I understand, but there is no excuse when you know better.

My girls gave me a Rarity for Christmas. When I was their age my mother and grandmother made me cut the horn off of mine because "unicorns aren't in the bible". (they are...) My other favorite MLP is Fluttershy. She's a typical southern girl. Sweet as the day is long but mess with her and you have unleashed a demon from hell. lol
