i got my eye out for all things racist. i can smell them when i read ones gebber jaber. i remeber names when i read somting i think is cool make a mental note. qm and baba O'Reilly are racist bots. should they be baned? no ....that would be being easy on them. but people should continue to put them in there place. post anti racist video that will piss them off. if we post a bunch mybe they will go back to porno and not have any time for contributing to the sift. Hats off to looris for having the radar on. with that said we can all agree racist video, racist titles , racist summarys put you up for the ban

Shermer views on acupuncture were. kind of funny ...im glad you admit that shemmer was belligerent. that was my maine point.
shemer thinks acupuncture is based on a quack theory. he thicks that he the can prove 2000 years of life energy theories from the fare east as wishful thinking, with junk the establishment (Harvard) taught him.

as for you saying i think science is vague. that i would say is a mater of semantics.
science is a vague word in that . to talk about this subject i wanted to distinguish between value of science and pitfalls of modern scientific method. particularly the gold standard of randomized controlled studies.

what are you views on the ama and its highjack scientific method. do you not agree that the ama has used its power to promote itself under the banner of " we are so smart and our rigorous double blind studies are to help man kind. " i think the ama is extremely belligerent this respect

science is important and useful and can be used like a good tool that it is . but
my problem is with scientism. shemer is one who contends that scientism is the way of the modern world. this is a extremist view. even the establishment acknowledges this.
i repeat
1 scientific method is not wrong or unjust in it self but that individuals often use scientific method to achieve fame (shemmer) wealth the (ama).
2. that it doubtfull that shimmer will prove theories acupuncture and life energy wrong.
3. that science is not something that began in the 19th century.
4. that good science is a tool not a bandwagon that trys to debunk rather then understand.

star trek was a metaphor to the way people are so busy looking for big answers to "Save" or understand mankind at the cost of failing to see simple natural truths with out the blockage of being tide down to needing to get down to the jest of everything.
and you pint out the scientest / humans have so many flaws. i dont buy that excuse. its the same excuse people use when the get busted riging their so called scientific studys so they get fame and money . you should slow dawn and not just dismiss bad moral character. that is at the root of my skepticism of mikey Shermer and his followers who preach intolerance and dogmatism. remember other key words money

In reply to your comment:
“I was hoping for some examples and some lively debate. You gave no examples (c'mon... flawed and outdated views on acupuncture? Acupuncture?!?), and although we are all entitled our own opinions regarding others, I think your personal opinion of Shermer is baseless. As far as debate, I don't think it will be possible to meaningfully debate with someone who views "science" as vague, thinks the AMA is the second-biggest corporation ever, and invokes Star Trek in his/her argument.

Even if Shermer were belligerent, science is not, and that is something I don't think you understand. As Ann Druyan explained very beautifully here (coincidentally, Shermer is sitting in the audience), scientists are human and have bias's. They can be assholes. They can be dismissive, strident, condescending, intractable, and prejudice, just like every other human being. But scientific method ultimately wins the day as its' built-in checks and balances overcome these things.

Your comment was all over the place, bighead, but I think your pessimism towards science and scientific method is based in ignorance rather some anecdotal experience. Read more. Think critically, not paranoidally. Don't be afraid to expose yourself to things you "know" to be untrue. If nothing else, you may learn the minds of those you disagree with. This isn't meant to be condescending. Just friendly advice.”

senator biden is a fucking punk i hope he dies a stupid death. he is prof that the Democrats are Incahoots with the right wingers what a fucking bunch of liars we have as representatives to our "usa". ill say it now i see this country as being taken over by the police, ten years tops actually the funckin pigs are not half as bad as the fbi and atf but in the end there all ass holes who need guns and explosives,fuck all them. watch part 2 you see our pussy government lie to our faces. pricks fucken ..... ba...

what a racket

leeweek i agree hell makes me want to cry. i mean having to be around that shit is hell hell on earth. what are we to do. im an American and when the vets come home ,im sory but like this guy came back to our collage and at first it was nice to see him back alive. and i asked him if he was scared they were going to make him go back. he said "i dont think they will ever send me back to iraq". but then i saw a video of hell and i realy did not want have any thing to do with this vet. i was like thinking to my self you were part to this shit, why. i would rather be in jail than do this kinda job. but i know its not that simple. anyway this guy is gone again i wonder if he is back in hell.

the fuzz what a joke. lets get a tank to enforce jay walking.

to bad you have to be "Harvard professor" to talk about the subject. wait a really long time ago is the late 19th century. seems like kinda of a narrow perspective. if scientist were not so dogmatic they might have better luck with the subject by looking at energy in a way Ancients have. sorry if you think your gonna find out anything substantial on a blackboard good luck. open your minds people why you gotta do only what mama talked about.

cheshirepuss i agree with your first comment 100 %.

down vote for raciest heading. dont people get it blacks have been disrespected by so many it responsible to be sensitive to posting harsh words with these kind of images. especially when dealing with black women. have some tact or risk by being seen a white is right kinda gal.

people see all this cool stuff but the dutch government seems to be hard core conservative. vary white is right. they have like one black in office. what pissed me off was when the dutch government officially sided with the newspaper that published the comic strip that angered so many Muslims. that would have been better not said. but racists like to voice there views indirectly

i hate ice cream.

the man wants to keep you down. what are you going to do about it.

nice job fucker i mean tucker

sad this is stuff that people ignore. speak up right wingers (racists) are these not facts.
