Pseudoscience, Pro-Lifers, and Potstickers

[kaian]

I also hate pseudoscience.

Don't try to tell me that a certain phenomenon is real unless you've tested it several times under different conditions, and you've researched past publications thoroughly. This includes but is not limited to The Mozart Effect, ESP, the God Hypothesis, human and pet psychics, and palm reading.

I also hate it when pro-lifers call fetuses "pre-born." As in, "Stop killing the pre-born!" It makes no sense - if something hasn't been born yet, how can you kill it?

But that's another matter.

Finally, I hate cheaply made, rubbery potstickers that fall apart when you pick them up to eat them. Fucking bollocks.

Yeah. It sucks really hard when people only selectively use facts or fill the gaps with religious text or just plain read the facts wrong.

A good example:

'Stem cells can come from human embryos.'
'STEM CELLS COME FROM BABIES? I HATE STEM CELLS!'


Theoretical physics is mostly crap, too. You'd think that some one bearing the title of 'quantum physicist' would be immune to the use of circular reasoning and defining the conclusion and then tweaking the data to reflect it.
