I don't find Kimmel offensive so much as I find him a crass, stupid person that apparently some equally crass, stupid people find "clever."
I only know about what he did because there are people here, and on social media, who keep track of him. The latter group seems made up mostly of people who who look to him as a "thought leader," which is as ill-advised as looking to Kirk as one.

I enjoyed Kirk's videos before his death, but never looked to
him as a 'thought leader.' I think for myself, and I share his
view as far as Christ, salvation, heaven & hell, etc.

There were times when he'd expose some opinionated college kids as being ill-informed, and those were entertaining just because those kids reminded me of so many opinionated fellow students I knew back then.

i thought that was his whole thing. i also find it disturbing when they ask them stuff like 'name 2 countries in north america' and they answer:

"isn't north america a country?"
"north america. africa"

Those were the only videos of him I was ever exposed to while he was alive,
but apparently he also did TV interviews and held campus rallies. I never
saw him discuss religion in any of the videos I saw (always politics or
world events) but apparently he did a whole lot of that.

i also find it disturbing when they ask
them stuff like 'name 2 countries in north america' and they answer:

"isn't north america a country?"
"north america. africa"

I don't think he is the only one that does/did these kind of videos. Those
are disturbing, especially when they come from the same kids who claim to
know what we should all be doing re: politics, the environment, etc.

Years ago, I saw something about a famous actress (I don't remember who now) on a game show who apparently thought Europe was a country.

This actually does *not* suprise me at all. There have been many movements over the years to "dumb down" what people are taught by reducing the number
of "things" that exist. Things like:

"There are only three (or four) continents."
"There is only one ocean."
"There are only four Great Lakes."
"There are only 8 planets."

Etc.

Someone who was taught in a "dumb down" system would probably believe that "North America" refers to the northern USA instead of the continent.

Yes, but there are 57 genders... :)

Oh, yeah, I didn't think of that. We need to remove things like continents
and oceans so the kids have room to remember all the new genders that have
been discovered. :D

Wait long enough and we'll go back to one ocean and one continent. The
earth will finally be genderless since we'll all be, you know... dead.

I think that was the hook, but it was more about trying to have
meaningful dialogue with people. Kinda like the 'change my
mind' guy...

Yeah, he was always witnessing for Jesus and pointing people to
God. That's not what the bulk of the viral videos were, but it
was the main point of his ministry.
