But it's sad to think of a washerwoman who furtively gains access to a university computer and, in between toilet washings and floor moppings, tries to discover a way to better herself. |
hahahahah!!!!! :-)

And when she finds it, she can't believe it could ever be so simple; and so she desperately does her best to convince herself, through insults and sophomoric attempts at "logic" directed at you

I think we may have a pot/kettle problem here. I NEVER insult people (well, hardly ever). I DO challenge their ideas if they are grounded in illogic, misunderstanding of science or wishful thinking.

There can be no other explanation for her continued posting, since if she has half a brain she already knows that her posturing isn't going to change anyone's mind (which further begs the question of why she would even want to).

If you see someone doing something stupid and dangerous and don't try to warn them about it, then it's as if you did it to them. If you see someone being taken by a con man, and you don't say something then you are an accomplice to a thief and liar.

As for her "science"...ask her "what is thought"? Scientists can tell you what they think it is, they can say it's caused by electrochemical processes, etc...but they can't tell you what it is. And if they can't tell you that, what the hell do they know otherwise?

So . . . let me get this straight. "If you don't know everything, then obviously you don't know anything." Is that what you are saying? Do you want to rethink that?
A lot of people on this board are obviously clueless about the scientific method. You see, the scientific method is a way to filter real information from all the clutter of bullshit out there. Some people *want* their bullshit to be true and so no amount of double blind studies or debunking can make them turn it loose. They will just cook up excuses as to why the magic didn't work this time.

But remember, we are one....even Mrs. Doubtfire. If you show kindness to the least of these you show kindness to me as well.

Allowing people to flounder in ignorance and error isn't kindness. It's giving people stones instead of bread.
