So /sci/ how many times has this happened to you?

[Anonymous No.2907235]

This is the exact reason why my girlfriends roommates all hate me.

Duur huur Why would anyone want to limit population, growth is infinitely sustainable, huurp durp we shouldn't be taxed, the free market will sort out everything, why should we have socialized health care, every other countries health care system is failing and they all look to the US with envy, Science would only stagnate with Government funding, the free market will push scientific endeavors so much faster than any socialized system.

Ever since 4chan I seem to just get into arguments with everyone and not even hold back.

Before 4chan.. I could stand the bullshit, but after spending 6-7 years here and experiencing /new/ twice (for it's lifespan both short times) I have become quite militant I would say in my ideals.

I am happy to admit when I am wrong, but lets just say, that is not often.

When they started talking about how the US medical industry is so much better than everywhere else, is because apparently pharmaceutical companies do all our research, when in other countries it is all "socialized".

The fact of the matter is that most pharmaceutical research is done in fucking public laboratories and mostly funded by The Government.

This video is great
And it can open eyes
I liked it so much that,
I cant stop thinking in rhymes

But i don't completely agree,
With the authors ideas,
Because the world that i see,
Is mostly filled with lies and fears.

Science is not a religion.
Thats a though but not fact,
Once you watch peoples decisions,
You would see where I'm getting at

Global warming comes to mind
If example is needed
The media tells the signs
While Al Gore as the leader

The fact there is a debates
Whether its a truth or a lie
Shows its lack of facts
Science should not work this way.

Reiki and touch healing hands whatever doesn't get my goat so much as expounding on and on about how eating natural foods can cure cancer. That just burns me up inside.

Actually, funny thing was a friend at the party was complaining of headaches that started the whole mess. The girl in question (why is it always a girl...) was showing him how tapping a pattern on his body could cure him if he did it every day for like a month or whatever. I kind of laugh when I over hear their conversation, mostly to bail my mate out because it is clear he thinks its bullshit but doesn't want to make things awkward, and she asks what's so funny.

"Oh that magic hands healing bullshit! That's what it is, you know. Just bullshit. It doesn't work. Well, whatever, at least you aren't one of those morons that think eating natural foods will cure cancer!"

"What do you mean! Of course it'll cure caner!"

Because girls are still raised to be ignorant of science (that won't get you a worthy husband honey) still they are human beings therefore curious and they want explanations and stuff, so they look for it everywhere except science.... not their fault, neither it is a faulty genetic design .

>why is it always a girl...

More likely theory than the one posted before.

Nearly all marketing targets women (and hipsters) as they are typically the major spenders. If you want anything to become big, you get aim it at females and there is many, many ways to do this, shows like Oprah or Good Morning America or The View or anything like that and girls will tend to go along with it if they are told something over and over again.

Considering 90% of TV is aimed at females... I wouldn't be surprised if they get the same message "This magnet can make you thinner!", "This DVD filled with guides how to harness natural power to heal yourself!" etc etc over and many multiple times a day.

Your theory lacks distance from the subject . It is correct tho, only it is only one step closer to the subject than it is to the explanation. IT is not better, it is a part of the explanation.

>>2907491 is closer to it. Still, it is not the closest . Survival instincts, male dominance etc etc towards the underlying structure of the universe or reality itself to understand why life, why survival etc (if there's a why, of course)

hmm thanks OP

[Anonymous No.2907587]

Most women don't strive for excellence or the pursuit of knowledge... and most guys don't either.

Men though are all designed by nature to try be Alpha as fuck, so that is why we have the underlying urge to strive for an ideal or knowledge or whatever because anything to one up any other guy is a beneficial thing evolutionary wise.

[Anonymous No.2907600]

>>2907556
That's why you should never hate women as a whole.
Also, males are used since ever as canon fodder and are deemed as more expandable than girls....

>Needless to say, this is not Truth in Television, at least morally. In real life, males are not a disposable gender. All living beings have equal importance and equal rights to live full, happy, fulfilling lives. Women are no more and no less disposable than men, no one is disposable. Similarly women have the right to be characterized by their actions and not constrained physically or personality-wise by the inherent value of their gender.

What real life?
This is especially true in "real life". Men are seen as expandable, of a lesser value.

[Anonymous No.2908070]

I really like the video, I know the situation and I really adore the rimes. I'm a physics major, I'm an atheist.

However, the guy in the video is a jerk. What will be the result of him arguing with the pretty chick? He will not feel any better afterwards, I guess. The opposite is the case.
Moreover, he will never convince her, or anyone for that matter, if he talks like he knows the truth. Then they will just defend and try to believe in their position even more.

I rather try do be a consequent sceptic and try not to believe that what seems plausible to me has to be the truth. Let's say I don't want to deal with statistics like I'd deal with a mathematical proof. Maybe then a discussion might actually change someones opinion and not just make both sides rage.

>420fags at party and anti-drug fags at party

>Marijuana causes your brain cells to die!

Not true, Many, Many studies have been done into this and none really shows any long-term memory loss in marijuana users. There has been though detected slight changes in the brain in heavy marijuana users, but it is not known if this is attributed to marijuana or maybe another drug, like this my friend, alcohol, the drug we are drinking right now, which is considered a hard drug by most scientific communities and up there with Heroin and Crack in both addiction and damage to ones body.

>Marijuana isn't a drug, it's a herb.

Hmmm, well the instant it is taken into the body for it's chemical properties it becomes a drug. While you could say Marijuana itself isn't a drug, but a herb, the THC found inside is defiantly a drug.

>Yeah but it's not bad it's natural.

Hmmm, I guess you got a point, oh wait you don't. I don't go and drink oil yet it's natural, I don't go eat stinging nettle leaves because they are natural, because something is natural, it doesn't mean it is safe. Also because Marijuana use is typically started at a young age, it is hard to determine, what long term effects it has on these users due to use at a time of rapid brain development.

>Yeah, told you you 420faggot

No, I told them and I honestly think that that Marijuana should be a legalized controlled substance. Most problems that arise from this drug.. or any other drug really is due to it's black-market nature and non-regulation.

>yeah well MDMA causes holes in the brain do you think that should be legal.
