Seconding this.

Why would you add a comma to a perfectly good sentence like "Kindness is like underwear.", anyways? If so, where's the conjunction?!

"Kindness is like underwear, because it's required but not exhibited properly."
or
"Kindness is like underwear; it's required but not exhibited properly."

Kindness is like underwear depends on the second sentence ;p
