That's it, I'm officially fed up with the internet.  I'm burned out explaining how something can have a low personal risk and yet have a huge body count by dint of just affecting more people that your tribe-scale monkey brain can handle, d'ye hear?  The information is all out there and it doesn't take a bear of great brain to work it out.  So the next person who says "zomg gonna die" (srsly, I hear people planning to bug out) or "storm in a teacup" -- I'm just going to link them to goatse. 

"That is disgusting!"
"So is your stupidity!"

Here endeth the grump.

Heh, see my response above. But this is a specific one, not a character assassination of the masses.

It's like crisps. It's just wrong to stop at one.

Your munching has been manipulated by cynical snack-food manufacturers. Ditto dissing the masses: cynical Ayn Rand fanboys want to pump up a worldview where you are the enlightened one and *everyone* else is a douchebag. It's not true. The social response to Atlas shrugging would be "meh".
