waste of time
This is a total waste of time - I had a very similar conversation with faith about the use of scientific terminology. As far as I could work out, Faith's position was that people should just be able to define words as they best feel fit. Therefore if Faith feels that she is "doing" science - she is - as she defines the word and it's usage depending on the context.
(This all kicked off when Faith decided that science used a number of words incorrectly and that she would use common usage of words even when the scientific def were explained to her).
I really don't know why most of you bother engaging with her - her total lack of knowledge on any given subject never stops her declaring that any given expert is wrong and that people who have studied a field for years and have an advanced degree in that area "are wrong". Even more baffling, her posts even seem to suggest that is actually unable to grasp at the most basic level why have no knowledge about a subject is a problem. That seems to suggest that the gulf between faith and the majority of the posters on here is frankly so wide that common ground can be reached.

Rox will not go into the night alone (CK goes down in flames)
quote:
WHY WHY WHY!!!!
WHY does anyone (me included) respond to this utter fucking garbage written by an ignorant armchair geologic-know-nothing who couldn't tell the difference between shit and schist?
WHY?
Yes, I know I will likely be suspended for this. I no longer care.
I'm leaving for a week in the field doing REAL geolgy and I won't have internet access. Take care. Later.
I'm sick of this fucking bullshit as well, where faith is allowed to slur people of education because she "believes". This is not because of any special knowledge on my part or even any knowledge of geology (but I do have access to professors of geology who subscribe to my "rugchewing theory") - but there had to be a point where people who can be bothered to get off their arses and actually tried to BETTER themselves and READ and LEARN say "I really don't give a fuck what backwater bullshit you want to pull it's fucking horseshit of the first order".
I'm sick to death of having to pretend that I respect the views of people who cannot be bothered to even try and grasp the MOST BASIC ASPECTS of the science/field they are trying to do a critique of!
FUCK THAT.
Rox
You will not go alone into the night. This is a joke, look at the people who are giving up on the forum out of sheer "I cannot believe this bullshit is allow to stand".
I honestly and 100% believe VIA FAITH that faith is mentally ill, rug-chewing mentally ill. Can I be suspended for a honestly held belief?
Others on here believe that Lam and others are "in the wrong" for
being homosexual - so what is the difference between that and my honest belief that faith is totally wrong because she is rug-chewing mad based upon my interaction with her and her interaction with others?
Other people on here believe that a man they have never met and have never seen walked on water and changed Water into wine.
I have FAR more empirical evidence about faith that I do about Jesus, I have never interacted or seen any comment from jesus, I have never seen him walk on water, I have never seen him turn water into wine.
FAITH IS RUG-CHEWING MAD - if that viewpoint is wrong, then how can a viewpoint based upon a book from 2000 years ago and LESS interaction be allowed to stand?
?
It is my honest belief that she is MAD.
Regards to you all - but I am fucking sick of this double standard that is driving away (and not me because I'm just a shit-kicker lazy bastard) people with real knowledge and understanding who can really contribute to this place. I tend to be more of a lurker those days but why the fuck am I going to lurk when people with something to say are driven away by fruitcakes?
I salute you roxrkool and next time I'm in the states - I'll buy you and yours all the drinks you like!
