So many morons, so hard to choose.

(Although really it came down to a choice betweem unnamed525 and hollowman, and unnamed seems to be more active.)

What's interesting to me is how many people voted for hollowman even though he rarely comments and never posts. He must have an incredibly high stupidity/comment ratio -- resulting in high stupidity density -- to have that kind of notoriety.

Either that, or the evidence is just so darn convincing.

I'm biased, but I suspect the opposite. I think most people have no, or little idea who I am, and they voted against me because I said gays are genetically inferior. Which, taken outside of the context of what I was trying to get across, is a remarkably stupid thing to say.

And when I do argue, I tend to be stubborn about it. That offends people. Such as yourself.

Indeed, I was amazed to see that he was so disliked.

"Determinism is traced to matter. Marx was influenced to a great degree by science, especially the simplistic idea of a clockwork universe cycling through a set path over time. The inherently chaotic nature of the variables Marx blithely plugged into his models makes the whole system inherently unsound as a predictive model; it's chaos theory at it's most basic coming into play." - hollowman

Wow. It's amazing to watch someone make shit up on the spot, but it's even more amazing when they borrow whole bushels of ideas they clearly know nothing about from water-cooler conversations and that crazy drunk hobo who always barges into your favorite late-night diner at inconvenient times.

That's an accurate assessment of hollowman, yes.

Even if he loses the poll, I may have to ban him anyway just for coming so close.
