#11 Chumpmeat Isn't Ad Absurdium when the argument is no longer valid logically? #14 KJFalk "Thimerosal" Thanks.. I need to stuff that into my computer dictionary. #15 CapeMonkey Thank you. That is the first useful study I have ever seen....
Commented on Roald Dahl on vaccinating your kids
I guess I should add that the point with thiomersal is that it itself is not the vaccine. It is a preservative to lower the cost of delivery. That's a good thing, except that it is a form of mercury...

#6 STEFAN JONES Cue the ad-hominem and reductio ad absurdium arguments from the pseudo scientists or pharma shills. Lets see if you can twist my other comment to imply that I am anti vaccination.....
Commented on Roald Dahl on vaccinating your kids
This is probably gonna be the one to get me banned after all these years... BUT. First.. the straw man : Very few people are saying and practicing "no vaccines". Scientologists and who? In the age of the internet, we...
Commented on BB Video: BIG YANK, a Weird '70s Jeans Ad (Oddball Film)

Commented on Video: Brief History of Weed
Aha! Thank you all very much for the correction. I never realized that .. the marketing campaign to make Cannabis less scary even worked on me (and to say the least, I'm not afraid). Boy.. that makes it all seem...
Commented on Video: Brief History of Weed
#11 Liquid 2 Thanks, I'm quite familiar with Mr. Greenwald's work on that. I meant for the factual assertions in the video. I believe that the Columbus and forced growing comments were actually Hemp and that it is counterproductive to...
Commented on Video: Brief History of Weed
I would very much like to see the scholarly evidence for the claims made here. I'm not a hater, but I would like to be armed with verifiable facts when I talk to people. Can anyone recommend a peer reviewed...

Commented on Former Seattle Police Chief on the high costs of the drug war
#16 Mark, must respectfully point out that until only very recently, opiates (in various forms) and cocaine were available over the counter. Anecdotally, it appears that many families (except the excruciatingly poor) harbored addicts or near addicts. Aunt Millie and...
Commented on TED 2008: Brian Cox of Large Hadron Collider at CERN
#12 (Tom) Then you and I are largely in agreement as to what is known versus what is postulated. My thinking is that this statement, "We know universe beAgn[SP] 13.7 billion years ago as a dot smaller than an atom....
Commented on TED 2008: Brian Cox of Large Hadron Collider at CERN
#7 Respectfully continuing to pick the nit, I know that my car will be there because we have proven laws of physics that say it will and mountains of evidence to verify the predictions. I am not forced to postulate...

Commented on TED 2008: Brian Cox of Large Hadron Collider at CERN
A bit incautious use of the word know. We postulate the big bang by extrapolating from the fact that the universe appears to be expanding. We find data that fits the theory, or we change the theory to accomodate a...

Simmer down, please....
GregLondon commented on Roald Dahl on vaccinating your kids
Paul@130: I can't find the bit where I said 'don't vaccinate your kids'. Paul@145: I didn't, at any point, say "don't vaccinate your kids", did I? euryale: your comment at 123 very much implied exactly that. Pedantic Paul accuses me twice of saying something about him that I never actually said, and you quietly change his charge to implication? If he was concerned about implications, then 133 should have cleared it up that ottoman committed a bifurcation when Paul and others are in a third group that ottoman denied even existed. Some people don't vaccinate at all. If you were...

Arkizzle @ 150: You'll note in my post at 118--directly under Ottocrat's, I might add--and again in my post at 149 that I know this. I know there are people who are saying that. Paul Bowen is not one of those people. Greg @153: You said it without saying those exact words. That's what your post meant. You're putting Paul in the "Don't Vaccinate Your Kids" camp. Paul is not in the "Don't Vaccinate Your Kids" camp. Paul is in the "My kid had a bad vaccine response, so I didn't give her the MMR vaccine" camp, which is entirely...
shannonrosa commented on Roald Dahl on vaccinating your kids
The Age of Autism and Generation Rescue people cited above are a bottomless well of passionate, detailed, totally misguided and very dangerous reading for parents already worried about possible links between autism & vaccinations. I appreciate Mr. Doctorow's clear, brief, facts-based plea to vaccinate our children. We need more people with clout to take stands like his, to counter arguments like the one below: "It’s actually not even entirely about vaccines and Autism, believe it or not. It’s profoundly bigger than that, frankly. "No, this entire controversy is about the following fundamental questions; questions that have been for far too...
