Mighty AC Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 When it comes to magical beings, this forum has a healthy population of rational, skeptical, critical thinkers. However, what if we expanded that discussion beyond genocidal, yet all loving, cloud dwellers, does your skepticism still hold up? This Venn Diagram of Irrational Nonsense neatly categorizes groundless beliefs. Did they get it right or are some of the items listed valid and real? Maybe you can make a case that our aura's do need therapy or our palm lines are a window to the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Looks like bollocks to me but I'm wondering why Free Trade isn't listed anywhere. The diagram needs a category for Political Bollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carepov Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Nice diagram but there is plenty of other irrational nonsense out there. Political bollocks, for example: the bollocks of "sound fiscal management of conservative/republicans". Sociological bollocks: the bollocks of crime and punishment There are conspiracy bullocks: 9/11 truthers, "masons control everything" Racist/sexist bollocks Racist and conspiracy bullocks: "the Jews control everything" Environmental bollocks: put ethanol in gas, nuclear energy is bad, PVC or even all chlorine is bad There are heath and nutritional bollocks: organic food is safer/more nutritious, all chemicals cause cancer, microwaves are bad for you, don't do or eat "x" when you're pregnant!, penis enlargement, anti-fat mendication/devices, anti-wrinkle creams Psychological and child developmental bollocks: "holding a crying baby will spoil it" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-1=e^ipi Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Cupping and chiropractics might have some merit (in terms of improving blood flow and easing back pain). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupping_therapy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiropractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
