Truthisscary[edit]

Truthisscary.com is a blog that's alleged mission is too protect and raise awareness of the "truth" that has been hidden from the public, in reality the site is an undiluted basin of conspiracy theories and woo. The site attracts New agers and tinfoil hats of all stripes with its bullshit. Practically any conspiracy theory can be found somewhere on the site.

Down syndrome[edit]

Down syndrome or DS is a genetic disorder caused by an extra chromosome. Symptoms include stunted growth, mental retardation and hypotonia. Those afflicted with it tend to appear short and fat with flattened facial features and a protuding tongue that barely fits in their mouth. People with DS tend to be a greater risk for heart problems and obesity.

Respected scientist Richard Dawkins once came under fire for tweeting that it would be best to abort infants who had down syndrome. Right wing pundits wasted no time in attacking him for giving his honest opinion when asked.
