Ernie said "a large percentage of the population" agree with Stockwell. I pointed out that Stockwell's beliefs were widely mocked and generally snickered at. If a large percentage of the population, or "most people" agreed with Stockwell's beliefs, do you think those beliefs would be publicly mocked and snickered at? I don't.
I suppose I made a bit of a leap when I translated "a large percentage of the population" to mean "most people".

I've never had much respect for people who take pleasure at mocking and snickering at other people's differing opinions. I usually label these bigots as callous fools and idiots.
