    Default The word, KOOK.

    A certain poster on HungAngels likes to bandy about the term kook to describe her detractors. Close examination of the term, however, reveals problems with her usage of the word:

    Definitions of kook on the Web:
    "Crank" (or kook, crackpot, or quack) is a pejorative term for a person who writes or speaks in an authoritative fashion about a particular subject, often in science, but is alleged to have false or even ludicrous beliefs. Usage of the label is often subjective, with proponents of competing theories labeling their opponents cranks, but typically is used to describe someone who is well out of mainstream opinion on a matter. In most cases the people labeled as crackpots turn out to be wrong.

    The psychology of cranks
    As noted above, in addition to a general lack of ability to accurately assess their own skills and knowledge, many cranks also exhibit deficiencies in reading comprehension, logical reasoning, and other cognitive abnormalities, which may contribute both to how they arrive at some bizarre counterfactual belief in the first place, and to how they are able to cling to such a belief in the face of all objections.

    Many cranks seem to exhibit certain symptoms of grandiosity or megalomania. This may perhaps also be understood, in terms of the phenomenon studied by Kruger and Dunning, as resulting from a simultaneous overinflation of their own social value and underestimation of the social value of others.

    When people abandon the truth, they don’t believe in nothing, they believe in anything.

    Just in case you didn't know _Candy, my handle and avatar are neither my surname nor a portrait of me, but that of Robert Rogers. He was neither a kook nor a cry-baby, but he was, and still is, an American (and British) hero. Still, what can you expect from a chickenshit, chickenhawk Canadian. Maybe he kicked the ass of a few of you ancestors, and that's why you feel the need to disrespect both his name and image. Does Canada have any military heros? It's surprising to see such a chickenhawk like yourself from Canada in the first place. It's just further proof that you are indeed a kook.

    I thought Canadians' were supposed to be gentle softies. But of course they are:
    WHITE_BITCH_CANDY:
    Leaping from tree to tree, as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia. ...

    WHITE_BITCH_CANDY:
    I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
    I like to press wild flowers.
    I put on women's clothing
    And hang around in bars.


    WHITE_BITCH_CANDY:
    I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
    Suspendies, and a bra.
    I wish I'd been a girlie,
    Just like my dear Mama.


    BEST GIRLIE:
    What's this? Wants to be a girlie?! Oh, My!
    And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter!...



    YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT... POOFTER!!!

    A misquote, and not Chesterton.
