Pharyngula on Andrew Wakefield

Pharyngula discusses the latest antics of disgraced Andrew Wakefield: Andrew Wakefield lashes out http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2012/01/06/andrew-wakefield-lashes-out/ I just gotta post this again from 2010 that explains the background behind the fall of Wakefield and the problems of scientific illiteracy in the media: The Facts In The Case Of Dr. Andrew Wakefield http://tallguywrites.livejournal.com/148012.html Article by Kulvinder Singh Matharu [...]

Let’s call bullshit “Bullshit”.

Pharyngula posts a YouTube link of Terence McKenna, about the dangers of “relativism” where equal respect is paid to all ideas. McKenna is right. We need to call “Bullshit” when we see it, and fight the “politically correct” sensitivities of our society so that reason can be taught. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not so [...]

…dangerous, disgusting, disgraceful information from people like Meryl Dorey…

Found this via Pharyngula. Tracy Spicer takes Meryl Dorey and the fraudulent anti-vaxers to task. http://www.2ue.com.au/blogs/2ue-blog/to-vaccinate-or-not/20110107-19i9a.html “…dangerous, disgusting, disgraceful information from people like Meryl Dorey”. Thank you, Tracey, for bring this issue to the attention of your listeners and to the wider world. Article by Kulvinder Singh Matharu – 2011

There, there, dear Popesy, have a cookie!

Is that Pharyngula being nasty to you again? There, there. Have a cookie. Here’s a man basing his morality, his way of live, on that hilariously hideous book called the Bible. The more I look at that book, the more I find it incredible that anyone can take it seriously (the Koran is just as [...]

Grotesque

Pharyngula posted an article on this video. So pretty and so…grotesque! Pharyngula is right. The religious will see this video as an affirmation of their beliefs. The more I see the more I find it incredible that people can believe in the junk that forms many religions such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, etc. I’ll need [...]

More backwards people

Horrific tale from Kerala, India: Atrocity in Kerala http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2010/07/atrocity_in_kerala.php What?! What?! WHAT?! Well, at least this is a criminal action according to the laws of India (even if the police are accomplices as seems likely) unlike Iran sentencing a woman to “death by stoning” for adultery!

Quack Attack!

The excellent QuackWatch is being sued by Doctor’s Data after QuackWatch exposed Doctor’s Data as a scam. Attempted intimidation by a quack http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2010/07/attempted_intimidation_by_a_qu.php QuackWatch offers a rich resource on all matters related to fighting nonsense, scams and other quackery. Well worth visiting. Their mission statement: Quackwatch is now an international network of people who are [...]

More idiot educators exposed

I nearly wet myself when I read this at Pharyngula: Frickin’ electricity, how does it work? http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2010/07/frickin_electricity_how_does_i.php Then I stopped laughing; this is a crime and an abuse against our children. Idiot educators need to be rooted out and exposed to the world. Article by Kulvinder Singh Matharu – 2010

Northern Ireland cuckoo is right!

The Northern Ireland Culture Minister Nelson McCausland comes under the withering gaze of Pharyngula…Northern Ireland culture is apparently cuckoo. Hilarious! http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2010/05/northern_ireland_culture_is_ap.php I suppose that it’s inevitable to get the odd person in some responsible position. But it does allow one to start questioning the judgment of those that put these people into such positions. Article [...]

American Academy of Pediatrics and genital mutilation

A recent article at Pharyngula reports that the American Academy of Pediatrics has compromised itself with its “political correctness gone wrong” decision. Such accommodationist principles will NOT make mutilation stop but will, instead, help to legitimise the barbaric practices of Female Genital Mutilation (or FGM).. My position is clear…a child should not be subjected to [...]
