Zach: I thought u could strip off the pricks and get to the meat. Anyway... Greenberg: they are not merely my ideals. More people share them. Ahh then you are in the majority. Well what are you so affronted about then? I gather there was some 'scientific' approach which brought you to this opinion? People will do what they want or what they are allowed so relax. Some people walk into bars and get beat up but hey sometimes they deserve it.
I got into stoushing about scientific method and worldview elsewhere, and all I kept getting was: "It's a method, scientists don't 'think', here look at this wojopedia article that defines it nicely for me", stuff all the time. I tried talking about what a tool is, or what a measurement actually means, but no dice. Just dogma-do.
to bits of doo-doo? If you want to get scatological, the site's SFN, and the poster [me], is Fred56; stoopid name, but that's the reason I chose it: it looks stupid, maybe some asshole stupe's gonna think so too. Never pays to underestimate your opponent, I always think. The latest in General Comments (last 10 days) should uncover the trail; let me know what you think it smells like.
Settling for not being "the brightest crayon in the box", never trying to do any better - this is what makes people assholes.
