Hope it's okay to start the new thread (not sure if mods have to do it).

I posted this right at the end of the last thread so just carrying it over as it has me driven demented.

I have a question on this subject.

The whole anti science thing is bugging the **** out of me at the moment.
Let me state that Im no science head. C in honours Leaving Cert a million years ago and a fondness for QI is about as far as i get but I have more faith in scientists than in folk who buy into this crap as a fashion accessory to go with their dangly ear rings, pentacles and mantle lined with crystals, candles and Budda figurines.
But seriously. We have a growning anti vaccine conspiracy based upon one flawed and many times discredited paper from 1998 by a since struck off doctor.
Almost 50% creationists in The US who believe the world to be younger than many cities.
And the term Big Pharma makes me want to pour boiling water into my ears.
:mad:

In the east there is a shark which is larger than all other fish. It changes into a bird whose wings are like clouds filling the sky. When this bird moves across the land, it brings a message from Corporate Headquarters. This message it drops into the midst of the programmers, like a seagull making its mark upon the beach. Then the bird mounts on the wind and, with the blue sky at its back, returns home.

The novice programmer stares in wonder at the bird, for he understands it not. The average programmer dreads the coming of the bird, for he fears its message. The master programmer continues to work at his terminal, for he does not know that the bird has come and gone.

The point, Grasshopper, is that even science has a formally unknown element, that some would call "spiritual". I call it the Tao.

Science has lots of unknown elements. If it didnt there wouldnt be a need for science. Others can call it what they like. Science calls it 'stuff to figure out'.

Yes! And to make it worse, there's a plethora of cards with rubbish like "To My Wife on Mother's day" (for, one can only assume, the Oedipus's among us?) and "To My daughter in Law on Mothers day" - I'm holding out for the "To all of yours from all of ours across the miles on Mothers day" :rolleyes:

Singers who make love to every note. Unnnecessary vibrato. Lip quivering. One celebrity was a fuucker for it but she's dead now so I cant slag her I guess.

People who stand too close behind me in a queue. Even worse if they're chewing gum. The rage.

Ever try to show an old person something on a touch screen? Maddening.

She had basically no training, iirc, just her mother pressuring her to sound like trained singers... quickest way to blow out your vocal cords...
