My Name is The Lord

I'm really tired of your typical feminized Westerner telling me may or may not be a fire hazard. I like to take a desk lamp and lay it under my bed on it's side, so that the light radiates out from under my bed in the night (a dimming effect) when I am working on things. I find that the typical ceiling fan lighting fixture that is unfortunately so prevalent in today's weak society creates the least desirable lighting effect possible, and it does not compliment a damn thing. The best lighting is achieved from the floor or the walls.
People always tell me what a fire hazard this is, and when I confront them with logic they shun me as if I am foreigner, incapable of understanding their ways. When the lamp is on it's side, the muzzle of it (which folds out) prevents the bulb from touching the ground. It's no different from being fixated ANYWHERE else, NOTHING flammable is touching the bulb at any time.
Even if something were touching the bulb, such as a string or a cloth; there is no way the surface of the bulb could ever get hot enough to immolate it. Even if it did cause a piece cloth to catch fire, there's nothing that could happen from that; I use to set sheets of paper on fire with rubbing alcohol when I was a child and lay them on the carpet. Nothing EVER happened besides a little soot collecting on the ceiling.
One would have to douse the entire house in gasoline to create a fire hazard. People always get offended when I make these points, because everyone knows some methhead white trash piece of shit that told them they supposedly had their house burned down by a cigarette or a lamp. You know they torched that shit for insurance money.
The scientific community could come out with a thousand studies and that would not be enough to convince them. Even Mythbusters could devote an entire season to fire hazards, going on to sell it as a box set months later; and these cretins would not accept it. I think that deep down inside they want to do what I do, but their parents beat them with an extension cord to the point where they actually became an extension of their will, their parent's flawed intellect generated by myths of the past, unwilling to give the future a try.
tldr; humans are scum
