Re: Why skeptics doesn't show proof?

A confidence trick or confidence game (also known as a bunko, con, flim flam, gaffle, grift, hustle, scam, scheme, swindle or bamboozle) is an attempt to defraud a person or group by gaining their confidence. The victim is known as the mark, the trickster is called a confidence man, con man, confidence trickster, grifter, or con artist, and any accomplices are known as plants. Confidence men or women exploit characteristics of the human psyche such as greed, both dishonesty and honesty, vanity, compassion, credulity, irresponsibility, naïveté, and the thought of trying to get something of value for nothing or for something far less valuable. Confidence men or women have victimized individuals from all walks of life.

You posted the definition, not me.

(In case you don't remember, I quoted it in my last post.)

So who's fault is that?

hio wh: -->more data on your post regarding jury nullification.
**************************

Feisty jury nullification activist Julian Heicklen, a 79-year-old former chemistry professor, is facing federal charges of jury tampering up in New York for the act of handing out pamphlets advocating the power and responsibility of juries to judge the law as well as the facts (that is, to acquit if they think a law is unjust even if they think a defendent violated that law). But his attempts to get arrested again for violating Judge Belvin Perry's ban on nullification pamphleteering near his courthouse in Orlando have so far failed. He's violated the order, but no one's arrested him.

Maybe someone clued them in that he wasn't telling them how to vote, but only telling them how they can vote. Big difference.

The latter is protected by the First Amendment.

You mean the "Constitution is a living document" folks?

Or the "Constitution is only a dang piece of paper" folks?

:laughing7:
 

Re: Why skeptics doesn't show proof?

RDT---

My understanding of the "living document" idea, is that it is supposed to be reinterpreted whenever it's thought necessary, by those self-proclaimed elite who think that they know what is best for "America." The problem with all that is that their idea of what's best is, for them to have absolute control of everything, and everybody, at all times, for every phase of our lives.

That doesn't sound like what most Americans consider to be "The American Way," and it's certainly not what I think is right for any country or any people.

How about you?

That's the best you can do to prove that LRLs are better than simple dowsing?

Wow!

No ..just commenting on your lack of knowledge about our Constitution
10. Astrology
For thousands of years people have been trying to predict the future by the position of the planets relative to the stars. Unfortunately, the stars have moved since all of astrology was made up (a process known as the precession of the equinox), and astrology has failed to account for differences between twins.
9. Reiki or therapeutic touch
The idea of energy fields and other various auras that can be manipulated by touching or through stones has also been around for thousands of years. Still showing no scientific evidence, or theoretical backing, these techniques are readily dismissed by skeptics.
8. Numerology
There are still people today who believe that certain numbers have meaning beyond their mathematical sense. As an example, by converting letters to numeric values and summing the digits, certain insights are supposedly gained into the under meaning of the passage.
7. Divination
There are still many people who think that they have the ability to find water underground with sticks.
6. Psychic powers
Widespread in the media and populous today is the idea that the mind is capable to influence the world outside the physical body (without using your body). There is a fair amount of research on this topic, either failing to show any evidence, or of a very low a calibre.
5. Global Warming Denialism
With a consensus from the IPCC and news articles almost daily about the effects of global climate change on our environment, it is a wonder how anyone can doubt the link between man made carbon dioxide emissions and the rising global temperature. Action must be taken sooner than later.
4. Alternative Medicines
Best defined as treatments that have either failed or not had rigorous scientific testing, many people consider these a viable alternative to tested pharmaceutical drugs. Often claimed as an underdog against “Big Pharma,” some estimate the alt med industry to be over $4 billion.
3. AIDS Denialism
A growing trend today is to claim that AIDS isn’t caused by HIV, despite the vast available literature. Some even go as far as to deny the existence of HIV.
2. Vaccines cause autism
Another growing movement is the “Green my vaccine” movement that claims mercury in vaccines causes autisms and claims that vaccines are overused lately. This movement is supported by Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy. Unfortunately these lies have spread fast via the internet and endanger the future health of many people.
1. Creationism / ID
Well known to the Edger audience, creationism exists in many forms today. From the 6000 year old earth bible believing creationists to the evolution denying intelligent design proponents. Claiming up to half of the American public this is a constant battle for science and secularism.

You're right. Actually, to the self-proclaimed "elite," control is more important than money. Those at the top of that "pile," really don't want any more of your money, they just don't want you to have it! They are terrified if they're not in total control. Or at least think they are in control. :laughing7:

Wanna work on different phases of that? If you send me a birthdate, hr if possible,
and I will give you a psychological profile of that person. Try me !

Since I will not spend the time to give a detailed one, just let the room know if I am in the
ball park.

Re: Why skeptics doesn't show proof?

RDT---

The ideas of astrology put forth the concept that the material universe controls the spiritual universe, when in fact it is the reverse. This is a part of the Mystical/Religious PsyOp that has been going on for a few thousand years now, merely for the purpose of gaining control of the populations, by a few. Astrology "reading" is a parlor trick, much like the "talking with the dead" people do, speaking in generalities, and "fishing," by asking questions which they "should" already know, to guide their convincing speil.

Sorry, I don't play that game.
