All skeptics believe. . .

Post by Gawdzilla Sama » Tue Jan 26, 2010 1:42 pm

Sometimes, I think we break the crazy people

* Skeptics believe that ALL vaccines are safe and effective (even if they've never been tested), that ALL people should be vaccinated, even against their will, and that there is NO LIMIT to the number of vaccines a person can be safely given. So injecting all children with, for example, 900 vaccines all at the same time is believed to be perfectly safe and "good for your health."

* Skeptics believe that fluoride chemicals derived from the scrubbers of coal-fired power plants are really good for human health. They're so good, in fact, that they should be dumped into the water supply so that everyone is forced to drink those chemicals, regardless of their current level of exposure to fluoride from other sources.

* Skeptics believe that many six-month-old infants need antidepressant drugs. In fact, they believe that people of all ages can be safely given an unlimited number of drugs all at the same time: Antidepressants, cholesterol drugs, blood pressure drugs, diabetes drugs, anti-anxiety drugs, sleeping drugs and more -- simultaneously!

* Skeptics believe that the human body has no ability to defend itself against invading microorganism and that the only things that can save people from viral infections are vaccines.

* Skeptics believe that pregnancy is a disease and childbirth is a medical crisis. (They are opponents of natural childbirth.)

* Skeptics do not believe in hypnosis. This is especially hilarious since they are all prime examples of people who are easily hypnotized by mainstream influences.

* Skeptics believe that there is no such thing as human consciousness. They do not believe in the mind; only in the physical brain. In fact, skeptics believe that they themselves are mindless automatons who have no free will, no soul and no consciousness whatsoever.
* Skeptics believe that DEAD foods have exactly the same nutritional properties as LIVING foods (hilarious!).


* Skeptics believe that pesticides on the crops are safe, genetically modified foods are safe, and that any chemical food additive approved by the FDA is also safe. There is no advantage to buying organic food, they claim.

* Skeptics believe that water has no role in human health other than basic hydration. Water is inert, they say, and the water your toilet is identical to water from a natural spring (assuming the chemical composition is the same, anyway).

* Skeptics believe that all the phytochemicals and nutrients found in ALL plants are inert, having absolutely no benefit whatsoever for human health. (The ignorance of this intellectual position is breathtaking...)

This one is true, pregnancy is the most serious STI out there at the moment.

The symptoms include, fatigue, nausea, loss of libido, retention of water, odd cravings, severe swelling of the abdomen, and weight gain.

Then after nine months of these increasing in severity you get painful cramps, sudden sharp pains, lose bladder and bowel control, suffer tearing to the genitals, and if that isn't bad enough, you then have to spend 18 years catering to the every whim of a little monster that drains all your energy, time and money.

The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome. I mean the idea that such complexity can arise not only out of such simplicity, but probably absolutely out of nothing, is the most fabulous extraordinary idea. And once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened, it's just wonderful. And . . . the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned.

Skeptics believe not having smallpox or Polio is a good Idea . Skeptics believe when involved in serious trauma they would prefer Iodine and then a Diamorphine injection then lavender water and acupunture .

Now to make sure you relax at night 'Zilla, and get a good sleep then I would recomend you place a piece of Haematite in your pillow , but make sure you have cleansed it and recharged it in sunlight .

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Is this not the very definition of a strawman?
It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.

I think I agree with one partial-statement out of all that bullshit.
The water your toilet is identical to water from a natural spring (assuming the chemical composition is the same, anyway).
In fact, I would go further and claim that anything is identical to anything else (assuming the chemical composition is the same, anyway). :roll:
