How is the internet any different from anything?

Lots of phony doctors deny that AIDS is caused by the HIV virus. Some blame it on the nocebo effect, claim it is a government-invented disease, think it is the will of God against Homosexuals, believe that it is caused by a lack of nutrients, radio waves. Et cetera
The bottom line is that these quacks are exploiting people who actually have AIDS, telling them that they shouldn't use antiviral drugs and that they should use 'natural' or 'homeopathic' alternatives.
Mercola is a prominent example. He also claims that sunblock gives you cancer [and he markets an alternative sunblock, no surprises], that fluoride in toothpaste and water gives you brain damage, that we should all subscribe to the 'palaeodiet' and that juiced vegetables cure AIDS.

Was about to post à comment similar : I'm the guy keeping the keys of our hôtel room as I don't trust my two roommates. The second I gave it to them, they managed to lock themselves outside, and bu extension, lock all my stuff There. I was in another room with the people organizing the trip and they came There laughing heartily about the fact they were locked outside and now needing to call hotel staff to unlock the damn door... Good thing I can keep my cool or they would've face a quite furious guy. So yeah, can't understand people's carelessness and just shrugging off something that could've been rather weird.
If you talk to a stranger and they say something stupid or insulting, how is it any less upsetting than someone you know?

Lack of real connection with the people and how anyone could fake being anything.
Basically the internet is full of idiots and liars and taking anyone you don't know well seriously is a flaw
How people view popular boards.
Reddit? Full of nerds who hate you unless you agree with them.
4Chan? Full of nerds who hate you even if you agree with them.
Tumblr? Full of hipster-nerds who hate you unless you give them fanfiction.
Neogaf? Full of nerds who hate you unless you agree with them.
Slashdot? Full of tech-nerds who hate you unless you know precisely what they're talking about.
And then you look at them and most of them are decent -even though the entire internet is meant to be full of angry nerds.
It just mostly seems like it's full of people who want to talk about things.

EH there are people who deny that the math we use in which to explain gravity is horribly wrong and tends to only work well under specific circumstances such as earth, and dark matter does not actually exist... it is just a cop-out for using the wrong equation to explain the universe as we have not found a more accurate one.
But that is not so much denying gravity, as it is denying newtonian physics as being sufficient.

I've actually heard some petroleum based sunblock can increase the chance, and that flouride can decrease intellectual capacity in the long run.
True or not, it is sad that people warp such things.

Why the hell people back in Korea are suddenly so afraid of using microwave ovens. I thought being afraid of fan death was enough.

My god mother is afraid to use microwaves because she believes they make her food radioactive. :\
It is impossible to reason with some people.

Why most Republican or "Conservative" furfags are libertarians. lol. Just be a member of the Libertarian party if you're part of that category and follow that philosophy. It's not like you're going to get along with the Conservatives in the Republican party or be happy you share the same party with them, since your views differ and are against what a lot of them believe at the core of the Republican party.

In the same way that liberals hate the environment. They keep wanting to pass more and more government regulations to restrain and regulate companies, but in the end what actually happens is the very corporations being regulated end up writing the regulations. So the next time an environmental disaster happens, they just say, "We followed regulations *coughthatwewrotecough* so what we did was legal" and get away with just a minor slap on the wrist.
Libertarians think the government is screwing the poors in the same way, where the more programs, social support, wage floors, regulations, and protection it passes, the worse things get for the poor. Because, again, it's the rich that pay for government laws and regulations.
EDIT: Need to add that Republicans actually really do hate poors. Libertarians want companies to be free to employ anyone, compete on low prices, and be fully responsible for their actions (e.g. make poors' lives better), while Republicans want companies to have corporate liability protection, restrict their competitors from hiring and doing business so they can price-gouge and get away with it, and generally don't give a shit about the poors or anyone, as long as they make money by any means necessary. So libertarians are basically Republicans with extremely high sense of morals and ethics.
