Only a fool is at odds with the conclusions of scientists.
That's got to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. The irony is epic.

You didn't have to call me stupid, that's rude. As an admin you should lead by example.
Besides, if you don't challenge the conlusions of a scientist, such as Ms. Ennis, it goes against everything science stands for (you know the part about peer review). Maybe that's just me; a stupid, irrational, unwashed barbarian.
Tiberius Wrote:I never argued that the placebo effect didn't exist. I don't see why you brought it up in the same post as one where you gave a lousy example of a scientist who "proved" homeopathy.
I brought it up because it's relevant. That's what you do in discussions, bring relative information to the table to be discussed.
And I never said that study proved homeopathy, find a single word in my post which could lead you to believe so.
I don't even believe in homeopathy. I copied and pasted most of my post, but you're so paranoid you read too much into my intentions, as if I was secretly conspiring to unravel the fabric of you're rational universe by copying and pasting a third party article.
It's not a lousy example, it's the first major study into the effects of homeopathy and certainly deserves a mention in any discussion concerning homeopathy. Stop trying to kill discussion, it's you're job as administrator to make this forum a welcoming, friendly place for people to discuss on-topic issues.
You embarrased yourself by calling me, and "people like me" stupid. (what people does that refer to by the way?)
Grow up, wise up, there's no reason to get so wound up in an online forum.
And please stop tarring me with a prepackaged theist brush. I honestly don't have an agenda, I don't take things anywhere near seriously enough to have one. So when I post an article, I'm just posting an article, with no subtext or hidden intent whatsoever. (and if I did, you're hardly going to be able to be aware of it, unless you've got some sort of ESP that no one else knows about.)
Well, enjoy you're day, unwind, and stop watching porno, that has been proven to increase aggression.
