Re: Buzsaw's Two Bits.
Example #1. I know I'll get flack on this but nevertheless I have always viewed it as hypocritical science and likely always will. From what I read of brother ICANT, likely he is with me on this. On the one hand mainline secularist science disallows any hint of the supernatural into the science agenda until the supernatural can be verified. On the otherhand mainline secularist science which bases much of it's agenda on the observable thermodynamic laws rests on the alleged fact that the universe, energy and space/time is temporal (about 15 billion years last I heard), having no before and no outside of without verification.
buz, the supernatural tends to hold to laws outside the natural, so by all logic something that can defy natural law, such as flying without any means, it would be supernatural, thus not natural, which are subject to the effects of how the universe works
being that time as we have tested it is part of our universe how would we verify something outside of it? being that we are also part of it, how would we do so?
Example #2. On the one hand, the FDA, in the power & $$ bed with the pharmaceuticals, hospitals & mainline medical practitioners, is ever so fussy about relatively minor problems with the herbals, vitamin & mineral alternative health agenda, disallowing pretty much any claims to advocating as treatment. On the other hand, several hundred thousand deaths and who knows how much suffering is tolerated in the billions of $$ pharmaceutical driven conventional health agenda blessing them along with all the devastating side effects with all the claim for effective treatments of the given ailments. Compared to the hundreds of thousands of deaths & likely millions of side effect complications, the alternative wholistic health practitioners and the products are the cause of nearly no deaths and relatively few side effects, nearly all side effects being good for the user or patient.
this is a bunch of nonsense, this sounds like the same old conspiracy junk that holistic promoters seem to favor.
you really think that natural remedies do not have side effects and cause harm to people!?
i guess you ignore the fact that comfrey can cause liver failure?
The purpose, of course of this thread is not to get into spinoff debate on above topics but to address the fact that to some of us the above are examples of what we see as hypocritical.
no i am sad to say that all i see is you taking pot shots at things you hardly understand

Re: Here's Another.
Tree huggers and greenie type (usually leftist) decry, complain, march & demonstrate against just about anything related to carbon dioxide, all the while ignoring the fact that the trees they hug and the green they claim to be promoting trives luciously on the carbon dioxide they are demonstrating against. The more carbon dioxide we read and hear about from these hypocrits, the more of a jungle the woods on my land is becoming and the more oxygen the lush growth is producing for me and my neighbors to breath. I need a machette sometimes to get up the paths anymore. Not only that, my sweet corn gets taller every year, this year about 8 ft tall & growing.
thats just plain absurd, the fact that plants need co2, doesn't outweigh the fact that we are putting more co2 in the atmosphere than is safe and its heating up the earth, while people continue to cut down the trees we need for oxygen
The hypocracy is that the leftists harp and whine about their agenda (partly politically driven) all the while ignoring the trade off of good that comes with the mix.
this is not hypocracy, you over state the "good" while de-empathizing the the bad.
