Well, I had read what you were saying as saying “A woman who’s able to have children”, and wanted to specify that he specified “a woman who wants to have children,”

I, for one, hope that Kanicbird is blessed repeatedly in a dark alley behind a motorcycle enthusiast bar.

Trying to reason with \*\*Kanicbird \*\*is like trying to reason with those people you see on the NYC subway ranting and muttering to themselves. They are completely insane and in their own bizarre world. All you can do is either laugh at or ignore them.

OK, I’m actually having a fit of laughter.

“When scientists get their hands on this, they analyze the chemical compounds, and remove the Love from the mother as far as possible by double blind studies, and remove the acceptance of Love and trust from the child.”

Please tell me that this read better in the context of a larger discussion

edit: I read the thread and it sounds even crazier in context. Its not only nucking futz in substance, its a non-sequitor.

It’s a bit word salad, but if I squint at it sideways he seems to be saying that placebos work and that’s cool - stop looking for causitive cures and learn to love all palcebos. Cause causitive cures aren’t as much fun. The cure of the placebo comes from within us, which is much cooler. Placebo cures show that we’re cool.

To which most of us would add:

“Yeah, they’re cool _when they work_. And I’m cool anyway. So give me a therapy that works even if I don’t love it. I’ll spend my time and love on something else.”

Wait, because of what he said, or because of what I said?

Despite the offensiveness of **kanicbird** ’s words, I just have a hard time getting myself worked up about him. The guy is a freaking crazy person. It’s like having an argument with the guy on the streetcorner with a sandwich board saying that 9/11 was perpetrated by Venusians and that everyone in Sweden is a vampire.

“You can’t analyze our woo with _your_ science” is actually, well, standard woo.

My favorite part is this:

Big Pharma is God! Merck is The Lord!

God bless us, every one, through our erectile dysfunction pills.

If God’s Love lasts more than four hours, consult a physician.

I terrified the cat because of this.

Edit: I mean that my laughter scared the animal, not my four-hour erections.

Well, they _are_ awfully pale…

I went to the “soul ties” web site and looked around and found a very frightening video of an “exorcism.” (It’s the people that are frightening not the alleged demon…)
