Just how screwy are the woo peddlers?

[Archae]

Well, there is this guy, who claims that eating *ONLY* raw (not cooked) vegetables will cure diabetes.

I wonder how strictly he follows his own advice.

And there is a belief called "Breatharianism."

Don't need food or water, just air and sunlight.

1. I don't understand why you continue doing this. nt

[cleanhippie]

2. What is he doing, exactly, that is so offensive to you?

Surely, you don't take the side of pseudoscience, do you?

[ChisolmTrailDem]

3. My posting history on this board shows where I stand on pseudoscience. There are only

a couple of posters who are perpetuating the "woo wars" in GD and it ain't the woo peddlers.

4. I'm not going to go and read your posting history.

Perhaps you could just give a summary of the issue you have with this OP?

[ChisolmTrailDem]

6. Sigh... the issue I have is right there in my first reply to the OP. Your'e usually

smarter than this. (Yes, I make an effort to remember and to get to know DUers, including you. You, apparently, dont bother.)

7. So this is now about me? Sweet jesus, man, I asked a simple question and now I'm the bad guy here?

What am I missing here?

Why not just answer my question? What is he doing that has you so agitated?

5. In the video section someone posted a video of a "free energy" machine.

And defends it.

(The thread was locked, BTW)

In the woo threads, look at the people attacking the anti-woo people.

9. Look around. You're not in the Video Forum and no one here is peddling woo today in GD. nt

10. surely you would never use the deceptive tactic of the laoded question, would you?

Or have you stopped beating your wife?

[KittyWampus]

12. There is an ENTIRE SUB-FORUM for this.

[2pooped2pop]

11. that's what I was wondering.

it just seems like trying to stir up shit. Am tired of seeing woo threads. Let's see, what else can we fight about that don't mean shit to anyone today?

[ChisolmTrailDem]

13. Thank you, 2pooped. nt

[Blue_In_AK]

14. I wondered the same thing.

Of course, anybody can post anything they want, but there seems no need for this.

8. Who needs food or water to live?

[WhiteTara]

15. Breatharians live under Mt. Shasta

16. Plants.

Even a plant needs water! I guess they are more hardy than plants!
