While I agree with the general premise of this video, printers are indeed bullshit, I don't think the rant is particularly funny.

I mean, shit. Look at fucking wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy

What the fuck is wrong with you people? Homeopathy has a very specific definition.

And there is no evidence that acupuncture works as advertised. Quit the opposite, actually.

Homeopathy is a fraud on two levels. On the first level they apply chemicals that have an effect opposite to the one you actually want. I.E. taking the active chemical in poison oak/ivy(urushiol)as a cure for a skin rash. This effect is allegedly achieved by diluting the chemical in water. This is the second level of fraud in homeopathy. Common homeopathic treatments are so diluting that the chance of there even being a single molecule of the active ingredient in the dosage is astronomically small.

Now, about acupuncture. There is no evidence that it works as advertised. That is by redirecting qi at your meridians. In fact, there is ample evidence that these meridians were actually a very recent invention and a massive fraud. Any perceived effect acupuncture has is either coincidental or a placebo effect. Which is what many, many recent studies have shown.

I'm sorry, rougy, you're conflating homeopathy with acupuncture and herbal remedies. Homeopathy is a complete and utter scam from top to bottom.

Acupuncture, at best, is a placebo. No one has be able to demonstrate that it works as advertised.

And of course there are herbs that work and "natural" substances that work. And there's things like ground tiger penis that do not work. But it has little to do with homeopathy.

Herbal remedies clearly are not going to bring a dying man from a car accident back to perfect health, but they do work for a great many other 'non-life threatening' ailments.


Homeopathy has nothing to do with herbal remedies. Homeopathy is a complete and utter fraud on every level.

As far as "herbs" go, sure there are some that work. Marijuana, for example. But these so called natural remedies are not inherently better than man made ones.

vaire, what convinced you, exactly? The countless studies that show acupuncture to be nothing more than a placebo? Or the total lack of evidence for any of the systems that acupuncturists claim to exploit?

A Scanner Darkly is rotoscoped. This is not even close to being the same thing.

Wow. This guy is an idiot.

What is with the down vote?

You mean on Zeitgeist? It's a terrible movie that no one should be subjected to.

Really, ABC? Ugh.

Well, just because it only takes a minute to make a small painting like this doesn't mean it's not worth any money. It takes a lot of skill and experience to do something like that.

That being said, you will never see one of those inside my house. I think they're pretty tacky.

I like how it's not uncensored at all.

The game isn't mac only...

And it's awesome! Screw Mr. Nay-sayer and his saying of nay!
