All over City-Data are the words STUPID, Idiot and Intellectually Lazy.
Usually it is a result of an argument about politics. Many posters are absolutely convinced that they are right about a social or political issue and anyone who has a completely different perspective is either intellectually lazy, stupid, crazy or unreasonable.

Some are intelligent people who believe in their political beliefs because they honestly feel that those beliefs have served them well and thus would serve the country well.
Others with the same beliefs are cretinous morons.
