Kind of like your mother telling you to wear clean underwear, only with the slant of being a member of SC that will impact the lives of 300M+ people.

The man was not ridiculous when he spoke, but I do find humor in members of a football message board suggesting he was, simply because they disagreed with his views while lacking the mental capacity to fully understand them.

As in the mental capacity to recognize the earth is more than 5,000 years old. Yeah, I don't have the mental capacity to understand why a person with that belief isn't ridiculed. Apparently the earth just wasn't young enough for him.
