I very much used to crack jokes about this kind of stuff.....

That "those" people were weak, lazy, attention seekers, you name it...... And just to prove that God has a sense of humor - I ended up with nice dose of depression. Which has given me some humility.....

So - I guess I will agree with the ignorance. I will choose to pray for those who are making the ignorant statement. Clearly they do not even realize how invalidating they are.
