No, you just don’t get it.
This ain’t Commie China where you’re forced to think a certain way. Maybe you’d like it that way, all of us lined up with pinstriped shirts, bow ties and pocket protectors, constantly adjusting our bent horn rimmed glasses, reciting the “Eternal Truths of the Amazing Randi” from our little mauve books with the gold-leaf smiley face on the cover.
Hundreds of little robots, all thinking alike. As Martha would say, “It’s a GOOD thing!”
You from Missouri?
Yeah, take a look at her photo and see what happens when the sckepticknazis get through with you. (woo woo!)
He means rainbowbrain
Then you should have noted also that this is not a debating thread, dumkopf!
It’s the pit, where I can point our your sorry attempt at character assassination and call you a :wally .
Lessee now, they evolved from skeptaloids…
Oh, that’s right, I forgot, you don’t believe in evolution… No scientific evidence.
There’s no proof of black holes, no proof that electrons/protons/neutrons are “particles,” no proof of the big bang, soooo… what do you believe? Anything?
Right. Religions were invented by man. Now, to the point: why?
Religions were invented so that men who wanted power over others could control their thinking, and hence their actions. Some did it for power, others for glory, but it all works out the same. Control their thinking, control them. Tell them what to believe and what not to believe based on debatable principles. Sound familiar?
Doesn’t matter if you call them “infidels” or “creduloids,” “sinners” or “gullible.”
Skepticism (as defined in this thread, not as defined in the dictionary) is just another religion, bent on controlling the thoughts of the opposition.
Halloween is made for such creeps.
Sounds like a religious rant to me…
Don’t believe in ESP, all of humanity will go to hell! (in a handbasket, no less)
Well Snake, it looks like we discovered what Halloween does bring out, at least in the Pit: highly intolerant, ignorant assholes.
Hey Scumpup, Early Out, and all you other losers, if you have any kind of balls you’ll take your half a wit between ya and go to GD and engage in a real debate instead of the group-think hate-fest you have going on here.
Heh, what jokers. 
“Fuck you” - Aeschines
Oh, you’re reaaaal impressive.
That they’ve been reduced to spluttering speaks volumes.
I don’t care to stick around for any more of SnakeSpirit’s mental masturbation, however - I don’t want to get any on me when he climaxes.
My work here is done.
I suppose that’s only if you get to define ignorance, right?
I define ignorance to include active suppression of ideas that are still in question, doesn’t everyone?
“Fuck You” is not an argument, stupid, it’s an invective.
Or don’t skeptaloids know the difference?
Depends on what you mean by ‘still in question’. There’s boatloads of paranormal stuff that has been well established to be without the slihgtest foundation. At what point do you say “there’s nothing in the evidence jar, and it sure doesn’t look like there’s going to be anything in there soon”?
Sorry, but I have little use for psuedo-intellectual waffling over subjects that are only interest due to their sexy ‘paranormal’ value. If we were to waste time on every hypothesis that has the same level and quantity of evidence as most of the ‘paranormal’ topics we’d be still trying to prove the Ether Hypothesis, N-rays, and Mini-Comet photos.
Sorry Scum, promoting your religion in this instance is not considered good debate form.
OK…this is easy.
If it’s at least 15 years old, then it’s not a Sackie. I know you’re a fan of the ladies…but it’s probably not an SBA dollar either.
You’re turgidly pro-American, so it’s not likely to be a non-US coin.
You don’t like copper because it makes your skin turn green, which might stain your comic book collection. So it must be silver, nickel, or clad. It could be gold, but you’re not that rich.
You don’t like silver because you’re a lycanthrope. It burns and all. So it must be nickel or clad.
You’re a “classic” sort of guy, one that harkens back to an earlier period of 5-cent Burma Shaves and Raymond Chandler. Too old for clad. So it’s an older nickel, from before 1950.
You like steak, so the coin would be one that reminds you of steak.
It’s a 1936 Buffalo Nickel.
[sub]May as well try…if by some chance I guessed it right, Czarcasm would become my willing slave and forever worship my powers…if not, I wasted some electrons…[/sub]
lezlers, it looks like you got 'em. You’re calling a spade a spade, and the spade is the bigot card.
These folks are attacking people just because their belief systems are different then theirs, and they are applying a double standard. They also lump people who have a curiosity about the inexplicable with deliberate frauds who exploit people’s hopes and dreams. Kinda like saying all Christians are Moonies or that they follow David Koresh. Dirty tactics. Mind-control tactics. has nothing to do with fighting ignorance, and everything to do with promoting bigotry.
Make it worth my while.
Beats you in half a heartbeat.
