Xei, I agree with you. Though I am no scientist by any means, a lot of what I do involves a lot of science, and a lot of people tell me is lies just because it's not supportive of their magical way of thinking, pisses me off. And that statement made my jaw drop. The fact that people buy into phrases like that just because they include scary words like "holocaust" and "climate."

That's just like the governments awesome job of basing all of their reasoning for some of the most assinine shit ever on "terrorists."

I realize that that's not related to the original purpose of this post, I just had to throw that out there.

But I must agree. I have changed a lot in the past year or so as a result of actual science. Seein things work, how they work. I often wonder how I so long bashed scientific questioning of things, and I'm sorry I did. Because now I feel dumb, as now I use science to regularly question other things.

You can't blame people though. I feel like the world is getting stupider. People are starting to accept things at base value now, just because they include "sensitive" words and topics. Idunno.
