Thank you for that although I don't think that there is any need to insult anyone for their beliefs, most likely you yourself believe in certain things that may or may not be proven true?
Here is an interesting link on the matter.

If someone believes something that is patently untrue, and sticks with that belief despite scientific evidence which proves them wrong, then it's fair to label them a 'nutjob'.
Let's take religion out of the equation.
If I declared to all my work colleagues that I believed all cats were made of solid cheese, and all dogs landed on earth in 1977 in parachutes made of Walkers crisps bags, I certainly would be worthy of the sobriquet 'nutjob'.

I don't have you down as a creationist, AOG.
it's not a matter of belief in this or that, but an acceptance of situations provable by fact. when someone proves to me that the earth was called into being by an all-seeing deity of whatever persuasion at a time more recent than the provably-dated dinosaur remains from 65million years ago, then i'll consider it.

Not in the world of political correctness, perhaps a person who is 'mentally challenged' would be far more appropriate.
But using it in political terms, here is the correct meaning of the word.
/// Taking into account the origin of the term "nutjob", one can only assume that the true meaning of a "right-wing" or "left-wing" "nutjob" is one that has the nuts and bolts tightened on that given wing. So, a "right-wing nutjob" (RWNJ) is somebody who has at least some facts from the right side of the political spectrum tightened down, well. However, that would mean that the "left-wing" has a few "screws loose". ///

/// From what I've seen on AB, the word 'savage'' is in vogue to describe some ethnic minorities. I assume that's in place of knuckle-dragger. ///
There you go again, trying to provide some ethnic minority killers and rapists the sole right not to be called 'savages'.
Everyone who commits a heinous and savage crime deserves to be called a savage, regardless of their particular skin tone.
Or are you suggesting that these wrongdoing 'ethnic minorities' should be excused from being called savages, or is it just the black ones that you take particular offence over being so called?
