Science and Stupidity:When Opinon replaces facts

[javier81]

They don't call me broncofan mediator extraordinaire for any reason whatsoever. Still, I'm gonna take your best points.

Stavros: you're off-topic. What you wrote has nothing to do with your President's assault on science and your inaction enables him.

Buttslinger: To quote Nietzsche you point one finger at me and I'm gonna flip you off twice! Your country is headed toward disaster brexit and you have at least two dysfunctional political parties. Also a bunch of irrelevant stuff about my Mississippi relatives.

I decided to omit the gayboy remark because I think it is unbecoming of a member of intercontinental porn forum parliament. I find you both out of order and sentence you to ten minutes in the Jill Stein sweaty asshole thread. Now let's get back on topic. Thanks!

I think you've confused the two members.

I think you've confused the two members.

I'm speaking as them rather than to them. We've all been posting here for nearly a dozen years so unlikely.

OK, I apologize. I'm just a tourist, Stavros is a featured attraction. He's charming to someone, I guess.
I think there is a 50-50 chance Trump may do what no Democrat could do: destroy the Republican Party. He's up to his eyeballs in that Russian shit, too many people know about it. That sure would make for a nice October Surprise.
Brexit and Boris on the other hand, I don't see a moment of clarity cleaning up that mess.

And what's this to do with science? I'm merely asking questions;.

Political Science

You have to wonder if these people have brains. Simply amazing.

A bill to ban abortion introduced in the Ohio state legislature requires doctors to “reimplant an ectopic pregnancy” into a woman’s uterus – a procedure that does not exist in medical science – or face charges of “abortion murder”.
This is the second time practising obstetricians and gynecologists have tried to tell the Ohio legislators that the idea is currently medically impossible.
The move comes amid a wave of increasingly severe anti-abortion bills introduced across much of the country as conservative Republican politicians seek to ban abortion and force a legal showdown on abortion with the supreme court.
Ohio’s move on ectopic pregnancies – where an embryo implants on the mother’s fallopian tube rather than her uterus rendering the pregnancy unviable – is one of the most extreme bills to date.
“I don’t believe I’m typing this again but, that’s impossible,” wrote Ohio obstetrician and gynecologist Dr David Hackney on Twitter. “We’ll all be going to jail,” he said.

I don't know about hymens, but it seems in this case the man has lost his marbles- or maybe that is what his brain is made of?

When the former Republican governor of Kentucky Matt Bevin was asked in a recent radio interview how he could justify having pardoned on his last day in office a child rapist, he replied: “Which one?”
The interview went downhill from there. Bevin said he had allowed Micah Schoettle, 41, who was serving a 23-year sentence for rape, incest, sodomy and other sexual offenses to walk free last week after less than 18 months in prison because his nine-year-old victim had been found to have her hymen intact.
“There was zero evidence,” Bevin said.
...George Nichols, former chief medical examiner for Kentucky, told the Courier Journal: “Rape is not proved by hymen penetration. He not only doesn’t know the law, in my humble opinion, he clearly doesn’t know medicine and anatomy.”

There really was a Flat Earth Convention in the UK, and there someone really did say this:

Australia does not exist. All things you call 'proof' are actually well-fabricated lies and documents made by the leading governments of the world.
Your Australian friends? They're all actors and computer-generated personas, part of the plot to trick the world.
If you think you've ever been to Australia, you're terribly wrong.
The place pilots are all in on this and have in all actuality only flown you to islands close nearby - or in some cases, parts of South America, where they have cleared space and hired actors to act our as real Australians.

Please keep this idiot away from Trump. We don't need our president believing any more lies than he already tweets on a daily basis - well fabricated or not. Thank you.

I thought I had gone twice! I've never felt so stupid in my life. The computer generated personas seemed very real, but then again one of them had too many pixels and froze while I was talking to him. I ate kangaroo meat at a restaurant, which wasn't the most environmentally friendly thing I've done, but am relieved it was probably just super dry cow meat in South America. They fooled me!
