There seems to be an ever-growing tendency to post misleading or untrue statements/claims in the guise of questions.
'Why do vegetarians get laughed at...?' - most people would strongly disagree that vegetarians DO get laughed at.
There have been similar 'questions' - 'why do atheists...?', 'why do Christians...?', and most of them are not backed up by any facts or evidence. If the questions are presented in such a slanted form, it's unlikely the answers will satisfy the people who've posted them.
