That Guy 03-10-2008, 11:49 PM i didn't think psychologists could prescribe drugs. I thought that was the difference between them and psychiatrists...
and i don't think you can say scientists and doctors are clueless, since cure rates and life expectancy are way up from the 1800s, and will continue to rise to the best of available knowledge.
I mean, electronic principles and radio communication really hasn't changed much (except for making things smaller) since about the 1920s. calculus, geometry, that whole earth around the sun thing ;)
some things don't change, and besides better biophysical/gene and quantum/nano knowledge, a lot of today's information will still hold true (like balanced diets, exercise, etc).
just because we can't cure everything instantly doesn't make this the dark ages or the pursuit of knowledge worthless, and, by the way, leeches are still used.

You're right. My mistake. :)
Hijinx 03-11-2008, 01:35 AM Hey come on now... Maybe he's a Scientologist.
Funniest post I read all week, I just spit half my beer on my monitor. Kudos to you.
Monkeydad 03-11-2008, 10:57 AM The truth is that their is no evidence that Ethyl mercury causes autism.
No in science
There's at least as much evidence as cars causing the Earth to catch on fire. :)
jsarno 03-11-2008, 03:31 PM Man, I hope Obama gets these kinds of pointless threads dedicated to him too. Otherwise, that would be just be a shame to attack someone over one little insignificant (in the grand scheme of things) comment.
Monkeydad 03-12-2008, 09:59 AM ^
Oh he does. When anyone says his full name in public, it's "hate speech"! :D

Dumb comment.
Unfortunately, even people in his own party are making dumb comments

Jsarno, I think that the original poster started this thread because it is of personal interest to him. But we wouldn't have known that based on the original post. Otherwise, you're right, it's nothing more than "Presidential Candidate Comments On Issue During Campaign Year"
dmek25 03-12-2008, 10:43 AM you guys can save yourself some space around here. just put all the dumb, political nonsense right in this thread

I'm not so sure those comments by Ferraro are completely off base though. Obama is almost to cult hero status, when was the last politician that popular? We are so eager to scream racism, we completely dismiss...well...racism. I have heard people actually say they would vote for Obama cause he's black. (which makes me laugh cause he's not) If you vote for someone cause he's black, guess what? You're a racist. Now, if you vote for someone cause of what they stand for, then that's cool. Unfortunately, not many that I have encountered could even tell you the state Senator Obama is from. So do I think Ferraro made dumb comments, yes. Do I think they are completely off base...absolutely not.
ps- That's the best sig I've seen from you SS.

Sounds like you hang out with some real dimwits Jsarno.
