I've been reading these threads for a year and a half now, and have survived pretty well at not getting too angry. I'll admit, I took a good 2 months off when the Trayvon Martin verdict hit, because I knew what it was going to be and was just not emotionally prepared to read so much of it. But aside from that, in all this time, nothing has made me want to scream at my monitor so much as the way they talk about science. Science is not TRYING to prove any specific thing. They're trying to figure out what happened, based on the evidence. If they dig and dig and dig, and behind the big bang they find God, I'll be right there, cheering them on. If someone finds evidence that evolution is wrong, I'll be excited to find out what that evidence says is more correct. Just the idea that science is "trying to disprove God" or has an agenda about anything beyond truth just infuriates me.

What's strange to me is that it seems like Freep has absorbed entirely several major post-modernist thinkers' ideas, though presumably not by those names.

They're just so angry about the idea of science! "Won't these people just give up on trying to convince me of this stuff? I've already made up my mind!" It really just makes it obvious how powerfully they don't understand the scientific method.

What's worse is that you ocasionally get freepers who understand the scientific method, but disagrees with it. There was one guy back in the day, who said that a peasant's wisdom and trial and error worked much, much better than the scientific method :eng99:

Freepers: a super-duper compressed drip out of the butt

Funny thing about that Freep quote: it's basically the position of the Catholic Church, and fully compatible with modern scientific thinking. The Church basically says 'God created the universe by making the Big Bang happen. Then he created humans by having created this universe in which Earth, and evolution on Earth, would inevitably lead to humanity.'

I suspect that Freeper thinks he's found a perfect argument against those filthy atheist scientists -- who would, if exposed to the argument, be like, 'Uh, yeah? Now can you get off my porch? It's Sunday and I gotta go to church.'

So how can an openly homosexual be a Bishop? He obviously has spit on the word of God. How then can he spread the word to others?

They hate themselves and God for creating the world and man and woman with very different and distinct gifts and 'wiring'. They refuse to accept the feminine genius that God designed and seek to deny that any difference exists between the sexes. They seek to make this happen by feminizing the boys.

And so they are making our children (mostly boys) pay by drugging them for being boys ....

A couple of weeks ago, when my daughter and I were out for ice cream, we were recognized by a young boy who also goes to my daughter�s (private) school. He was also out for ice cream with his mother. As I talked with the boy and his mother, it became obvious that he was a young man of superior intelligence, as well as social confidence; in fact, he mostly carried the conversation, which seemed to embarrass his mother a bit. When he casually mentioned being on medication for his �ADHD,� I was amazed and dismayed, although I said nothing. I do not believe that the school had any part in that diagnosis. I think it may have more to do with the fact that he is being raised by a single mom (whether divorced or widowed, I don�t know). I am a single mom myself, but I have a daughter, which I think is easier. My heart weeps for boys who are drugged for being boys.

The commie pubic school teachers are trained by their union to tell parents their child needs to be tested, and they just happen to have a list of approved doctors to do just that.

The entire scam is as simple as that, more money for commie teachers!

No....just a person who has done a HUGE amount of research on mag ever since my husband got fibromyalgia about 7 yrs ago. He�s totally cured now and I�m the richer for it as well since I started taking it too.

There�s a fantastic book out called The Magnesium Miracle by Dr. Carolyn Dean but here�s the summary.

Take magnesium glycinate; I like Metagenics brand but you can buy it in bulk powder (mag/glycinate) on Amazon. You can also use magnesium oil which you spray on but you�re only getting about 18mg per spritz. Ideally you should take 600-800 mg/spread through the day and based on bowel tolerance. Most mag/glycinate supps have about 100mg per tablet.

I completely went off all anti depressants and anti anxiety. I also never had to go back to the chiropractor or massage therapist since all my body pain went away. Mag makes 350 other systems in your body sync or click into place so once you start taking a quality mag you�ll find all kinds of things start to happen. I shop on vitacost.com or amazon for this product.

That school-based conspiracy in regards to ADHD is crazy as poo poo. As a teacher I can safely tell you we are informed to -never- make suggestions to parents on medical issues about students. The reason being is we can be held financially responsible (IE the teacher would have to personally pay for treatment). It always, always, always, has to come from the parents. At least that's how it is in Iowa.

I think we can source it to "school admins making poo poo up to scare teachers."

It's certainly a pernicious idea that non-professionals should feel free to suggest diagnoses. I've seen it happen many times, I'm glad that at least one school in Iowa is doing something about it (by spreading bad information, but still).

I am an elementary school special ed teacher and I have heard similar poo poo from parents who don't want to believe diagnoses. It's basic "boys will be boys" mixed with the extra burn of facing up to issues with the product of your loins. The reality is that intervening in the education of a child who is having trouble connecting the dots is a huge investment in time and emotional resources on the part of the teachers and staff involved. It's not an easy decision to label a kid for life and I have never seen it done in a cavalier way. There is nothing to cash in on, but folks seem to believe that filing paperwork to cover a shoe-string special ed staff is the ship we all prayed would come in to deliver us from... something.

OldMemes: Sep 5, 2011; I have to go now. My planet needs me.

The way they try to remake God in their own image is infatuating. If science can show us that something as amazing as the big bang or evolution happened, then it's evidence of God's work. The average Freeper is a 60 something white male from the south, with little to no higher education. A scientist is someone who has decided to learn how to be a scientist, and learnth the skills needed to do so, at great effort and expense. Everything they come up with has to be peer researched.

God is the all knowing and all powerful creator of reality. His existence and power is simply so far beyond human understanding we can't understand it (Isaiah 55:8). Science is just a study of the natural world (which is God's creation) in order so we can learn more and become wise (Proverbs 3:13). We aren't meant to blindly follow whatever we're told, but to question, learn and grow (1 Thessalonians 5:21).

When :freep:

types shout down those who try to understand the universe are pretty much disrespecting God's creation, but trying to bring it down to their level, which is "I don't understand it, therefore God can't have done it", which is the exact opposite of what the Bible teaches! When I learn about science, and the universe, and how incredibly old, large and complex it is, it helps me appreciate God more.

Freepers try to remake God in their own image, with no compassion, understanding or insight. Could you imagine a Freeper going to the cross, for example? They'd probably complain about having to die for liberals.

That's just my thoughts, really. Science is another way to understand God's creation, and it's a gift we're privileged to have - wisdom is a gift from God, according to the Bible, after all. Yet Freepers want to just ruin it. Sorry for the wall of text, it's just a pet peeve of mine.

It's like that joke about the man stranded on a desert island. A small sailboat goes by, and stops and offers to help, and the man says "No, God will save me." Then a fishing ship stops by and offers to help, and he again says "No, God will save me." Finally, a huge cruise ship sees him, stops, tries to rescue him, and he says "No, God will save me." The man dies on the desert island, goes to up to the pearly gates, and says "God, why didn't you save me?" God replies, "I sent a sailboat, a fishing boat, and even a cruise ship! What more could you ask for?"

I feel like that joke, which is pretty silly on its surface, explains more about these anti-science "bible-thumpers" than I ever would've expected when I first heard it.

As someone diagnosed with ADHD in the early nineties, I very much want to stop this person in some way before he hurts anymore children. Freep's fear of science and logic is cute to see in action, but when it directly retards childhood development, I find it difficult to stomach.

No....just a person who has done a HUGE amount of research on mag ever since my husband got fibromyalgia about 7 yrs ago. He�s totally cured now and I�m the richer for it as well since I started taking it too.

There�s a fantastic book out called The Magnesium Miracle by Dr. Carolyn Dean but here�s the summary.

Take magnesium glycinate; I like Metagenics brand but you can buy it in bulk powder (mag/glycinate) on Amazon. You can also use magnesium oil which you spray on but you�re only getting about 18mg per spritz. Ideally you should take 600-800 mg/spread through the day and based on bowel tolerance. Most mag/glycinate supps have about 100mg per tablet.

I completely went off all anti depressants and anti anxiety. I also never had to go back to the chiropractor or massage therapist since all my body pain went away. Mag makes 350 other systems in your body sync or click into place so once you start taking a quality mag you�ll find all kinds of things start to happen. I shop on vitacost.com or amazon for this product.

Freepers are like the anti-vax epidemic. They'll go to a doctor for their needs but when it comes to medicating their precious and innocent children, suddenly they think that Jesus or some herbal bullshit blog is a more definitive source than the medical expertise of a pediatrician. When their child contracts measles, maybe they can pray or pour some green tea on the skin to make them go away.

Point would be, it is a field where cunning and people smarts do not get you very far. Do not even get you through the first year of an engineering degree.

People make fun of engineers for a reason, our minds do work a bit different, and few can do what we do. Asians and Indians are superb at it, possibly a genetic quirk that way.
