Actually, for purposes you indended...
Enjoy.
Goes weird with

City police say a man tried to avoid arrest by rolling in dog feces.
BatDogshit crazy.

This made me happy

How can someone who dares to call himself a biologist claim such stupidity? So irresponsible for all of this morons to raise their voice against medicine proven effective.
-
Good grief. I've heard plenty of 'there's no proof vaccination works' excrement of entire male bovines, but this takes the small flat baked comestible.
For context, for anyone who didn't click the link, the guy isn't claiming it's bacterial, or even caused by miasma or any other pre-germ theory gumph. He claims to believe measles is a psychosomatic illness, caused specifically by traumatic separations.
How do you even come up with that?

By rejecting all logical thought and the scientific method?

I don't think that's right. I'm sure there was some logic involved. But he certainly had to ignore a lot of stuff.
My money's on mental illness. Probably caused specifically by traumatic separations.
-
some logic involved.
Actually thinking about it, one wonders if he dug up some statistic that babies/toddlers that go to daycare are more likely to get measles - which without digging up any statistics myself, I'd imagine is probably the case. Only this idiot perhaps somehow concluded that it's not because at daycare they spend time with lots of other
small childrendisease vectors, but rather because of separation anxiety when they're dropped off?

There's people who deny that AIDS comes from a virus too, it's weird.
Of course the quickest way to find out if that's true is to take a syringe full of MeVs and HIVs and inject it, but for some reason they refuse to do it.
-
but for some reason they refuse to do it
Probably because they don't want one of those government mind-control chips that don't exist ;)

Vaccines don't actually exist. The experience of going to a doctor and getting some liquid injected to your arm is actually a psychosomatic effect, probably caused by a traumatic separation.

The new one will interfere with the old one, so the gov't makes sure that doesn't happen.

What is that supposed to be? GIS was useless and showed me popcorn.

The set I took it from calls it

. It was, I believe, taken from one of thosesane forumstoxic hellstews. Whether the name survived the migration I am not sure.

Looks more like

Works in both contexts IMHO:

Measles is a syndrome caused by forgotten beast sweat that has the following symptoms:
- You grow an extra liver
- Your left kidney stops working on odd-numbered hours
- Dizziness
- Vomiting
- More vomiting
- Low alcohol blood level
- Immediate necrosis of brain

The rest of us think the same thing about your batshit crazy stance on climate change. ;-)
-
I always find the climate change debate so confusing.
One side flies around in private jets arguing that we need to spend someone else's money to develop new technologies to reduce carbon emissions, or just leave lots of energy (read: economic activity) unused to save the world because models that don't successfully predict current conditions say we need to, and despite the fact that the two biggest sources of increasing carbon emissions (read: China, India) flatly refuse to sign on to any sort of emission reduction treaties.
The other side suggests maybe the science isn't as settled as we think, and maybe we should take a closer look at the assumptions and motivations behind the studies that have produced the models that don't actually forecast, before we gimp our economy by going back to wind, muscle, and river power.
But hey, one side is batshit crazy.
-
-
Sigh.
So basically you equated everyone who wants to reduce emissions (which in most first world countries is "basically everyone") with "a bunch of people who fly in private jets". I think this is literally the stupidest argument I've seen on TDWTF ever, congratulations.
The other side suggests maybe the science isn't as settled as we think
But maybe it is perfectly settled. And that would make that side wrong.
-
Or maybe we humans evolved because earth needed plastic.
-
Nonono, wrong, you're implying evolution has a purpose.
It was the nylonase bacteria killing everything else so we could make more food for them all along!
-
Nonono, wrong, you're implying evolution has a purpose.
Only because it doesn't work the other way round:
We humans developed plastic because we needed the earth.
-
You do not get to do that. Your hypothesis failed, sir, accept it with pride like a true scientist.

accept it with pride like a true scientist.
A true scientist can always tweak a paper to get it published despite it being complete rubbish.

Sounds like you're talking from experience :P

Hrm. Mumble. Oh, here's a fun thing to do with fish: take two fishes and tie one to each end of a string, roughly 1m in length. Throw it up into a group of seagulls, and watch them fight while two of them plummet to earth.

God prefers all the kinds of cheese.

Don't bring the omnipreference argument into this. It's counterproductive!

All i'm saying is that all the cheeses can coexist in peace.

But what if they unite and overthrow the great and powerful Cracker Empire? After that, it's only a matter of time before they conquer the Macaroni Kingdom, and then, the world!I, for one, will not stand idly by and accept subjugation by edam!

Time for a cheesehad?

I don't care what you think, separation of cheese and state is one of the basic tenets of society, and I will not stand idly while someone tries to impose their choice on everyone else.
-
Not even if they have the One Cheese To Rule Them All?
-
that cheese was destroyed years ago in the grand fondue of destiny.
-
Liar! I have evidence that you are in possession of a portion of the one cheese!

THAT'S NOT TRUE
we might need to kill that horrible wolverine man, he will not take our precious from us
