Holy crap cakes!! That would have freaked me the F#%K OUT! I would have paddled like a little loon going "please don't eat me, please don't eat me", and the fact that I know full well they only eat plankton would have been SOD ALL HELP because it's freaking HUGE AND UNDER WATER AND OBVIOUSLY OUT TO GET ME!!!



get some education, no reason for it to harm you or even that it would

non-correlation (in that japan study) is not a fact in your favor. We're determining if vaccines are a cause of autism, not if vaccines cause all autism.
delivery methods or "drug absorption" does affect toxicity. There are exceptions to the rule, some drugs are absorbed well through ingestion, but they are the exception.
I guess it's easier to call marbles names than to do real science. I think marbles would be happy for science to speak for itself.


Huh?

As the article I linked to a few comments above stated, the medical community took the claims that autism could be caused by vaccines very seriously... and so many studies have been undertaken, and none of them have found any link.

They might in the future, who knows. The HUGE bloody issue is that all of this was kicked off by one crooked doctor who scammed people into giving him money based on bogus research and a false link between the MMR vaccine and Autism. Suddenly, all these parents who have kids who developed Autism started blaming the vaccines with NO PROOF AT ALL... NONE, other than the two things happened at vaguely the same time... vaguely. And they just DO happen at the same time, so it's not causation.

So all these unknowing parents who are scrambling for someone/thing to blame for their apparently normal child becoming autistic latch onto vaccines. This makes thousands of people become unnecessarily fearful of vaccines and stop immunising their children, based on NO EVIDENCE. This leads to children dying due to the diseases the vaccines were preventing coming back.

So, the Japanese splitting the vaccine into three different ones (which is what the bogus doctor was saying people should do because, surprise, surprise, he had developed vaccines for that and so would profit hugely) has made no impact on the rise of Autism.

Absolutely there should always be people looking into the validity of claims made against medicines.

But if the science is done, done correctly, done multiple times and STILL shows things to be safe then people need to STOP SPOUTING SHIT. People like marbles are harmful individuals for just the reason @ChaosEngine states. There is critical thinking, and judging validity of sources, and not just accepting things with blind faith.

And then there is this insane 'anything to do with anyone other than my fellow conspiracy nuts is all just 'big business' and 'government conspiracy''. All this does is to make people either:

a) Mistrust absolutely everything, no matter how valid, and therefore end up 'throwing the baby out with the bathwater' and rejecting all the good things that are done by large business and the government and society at large.

OR

b) Regard every single thing going against authority as a raving loon notion and so just accept EVERYTHING they are told, which is the opposite mindless sheep approach to life.

There is a happy medium where you critically take that things that make sense and are for the betterment of us all, and sometimes reject things which you can see through REASON and logic and critical thinking to be perhaps created with someone elses betterment in mind rather than yours.

Well, to be fair to QM, Obama is, in fact, being a vindictive dick if he's withholding federal aid for political reasons. But even if he was...the point of the sift is this: Not long ago, Texas spoke openly about secession. Are people in Perry's staff, Perry's constituency, even Perry's opponents...appreciative of the hypocrisy here or are they all okie-dokie with it?
Call me a fuckin loon but it's kind of overt to me.

Yes but why would be fair to QM...he's never been fair about anything never presented his arguments in a fair way. I'm all for being fair but at some point you just have to get rid of the people who are complete assholes and not pay them any attention.

Oof, wrong attitude, dude. I'm not implacably devoted to any particular position except for the truth. I digs it. I'm a big ol' sucker for the truth and if someone makes a good point, regardless of how I feel about his other opinions, I'll say so.


Fuck you I am Truth!

He is a fucking loon, it's a pity he was a fucking loon with conviction who gunned down terrified kids on a camp.

@Pprt, you are a fucking loon as well.

There, personal name calling.

Someone who thinks that Islam is taking over Europe and must be stopped at all costs, including taking up arms is a fearful, racist bigot.

Not only is it in direct violation of the constitution, his invitees are a bunch of hateful, bigoted loons:

Care to explain how a private event by a politician is establishing a law that limits religious freedom?

Please help me.Is this the 21st century or the 7th? As the poster said, were this not so serious it would be laughable. If one of these crazy, uneducated, brainwashed loons is elected as president, then I have little doubt Armageddon will be sooner, rather than later. And people wonder why Atheists are becoming more vocal. God help us all (Pun intended).

I blame the Indians. Should've killed all puritans on sight.


But the puritans had smallpox god on their side.

Nothing but fuckin loons. I'm actually surprised that it's taken them this long to realize that tying in geoengineering might give them a bit of legitimacy. But they don't -ever- supply any evidence.

I think the most amazing feature of this crowd is that they seem to find it believable that our government could somehow keep secret an operation that requires THOUSANDS of people taking part. Our government couldn't keep a secret, if three people knew about it. Which is one of the only good things I can say about it. In spite of all the decades of trying, they've never managed to be good at secrecy.

I want to know what happened next. I think I'd have stood my ground when I had the high ground, unless he's very close to help and making his way back to camp or something. The bear didn't look aggressive.

However, that's a very easy thing to say sat here, in my house, in a country without bears. Being out there in the wild being followed by a bear, I'd be leaving a big brown streak behind me as I ran like a loon, screaming in terror. I'm sure that would work too...
