Fuken science pricks and shit

[bogan]

Yeah ... Quantum and particle physics are probably the messiest areas ... when "just looking" changes things how can you know what is going on?

You sure about that?

[Akzle]

You sure about that?

as sure as science!

[Banditbandit]

You sure about that?

Shit no .. I'm not sure about anything ('cept it's a great day outside and my bike is in the parking lot - and I'd rather be riding ..

[ellipsis]

...why cant someone put lots and lots of LSD in our town supply, it wouldn't fuck their teeth I'm sure...it would also make looking at a glassful of the green tinged microbial soup the locals pay their rates for, a hell of a lot more interesting...

...why cant someone put lots and lots of LSD in our town supply, ...

How do you know they didn't ??? 't'would explain a lot of things ..

If they have, it's fuckin shit.

...maybe they do...we have our own water...I must sample some of the town supply, just in case...

itll fuck you up, but it aint for lsd.

Um ... doesn't the fact that 1/3 of the population want to live in a small part of our fantastic country and spend hours each week commuting in cars already make them nuttier than the other 2/3, so the whole toxins and stuff in water is a coincidence ? Bike riders excluded of course, but then car drivers think riders are mostly nutty as fuck as well.

Been done before Bro...

...i did a fair bit of research myself way back then...similar results...i reckon it would still be a good idea...was quite entertained by Abbie Hoffman at the time...he had some fairly good non scientific theories that i found a hoot...

[Tazz]

In the name of science! (honest!)

Meh, Just to stoke the fire a little


The Lancet, the world's oldest and most prestigious medical journal, recently published a report classifying Fluoride as a dangerous neurotoxin. The report puts Fluoride in the same category Arsenic, Lead, and Mercury.


Go figure, the "tin foil hat wearers" are right; again!

[Ulsterkiwi]

There's a difference ???

"Some respectable peer reviewed academic journal" is just a flash way of saying "some fucking looney corner" ... who says peer reviewed is better than looney on the net ?? Only those who benefit from peer reviewed journals ..

Nope, its way for the world to call "bullshit" if the data being reported doesnt stack up. Until you have to actually go through the peer review process and know what you are talking about perhaps you would be best to not make comments like that?

Edit: Apologies, I see you have gone through the process. Its not perfect, but is a darn sight better than no review at all. Surely its a measure of validity and/or reliability not a guarantee of it?

as sure as science!

and this is precisely the point. Science is not precise, thats a myth propogated by the media. Talk to a scientist, actually READ a peer reviewed article you will never see extravangant claims, the language will be commensurate with the evidence to hand. In the case of Flouride, given sufficient concentrations in the body (a complex system of systems) it will act as a neurotoxin. So will oxygen.

[Ulsterkiwi]

The scientific community is not part of the government, the govt takes their findings and makes a decision. There is not some evil bias (govt or otherwise) in the scientific community, so stop trying to insinuate there is, instead explain why those experts who are sure fluoride poses a hazard have been unable to prove it?

what he said....
