Fuck You - Lily Allen Vs. Asbjørn Dyrendal & James Randi

[imjoebrady]

I'm back, 9 months later, just with that sliver of hope that you might've grown a more properly functioning brain. But I guess you haven't, because you still have this unintelligent and inaccurate video up. And I just love how you categorize it under 'comedy.' That much I can agree with, because this whole video is such a joke.

[tingtangs]

It's funny because Lily Allen's song is to counter bigots like the guy who uploaded this video. Notice how Allen criticizes gay bashing?

[masterixche]

AnaNord, you are contradicting yourself, why do you defend homeopathy and alternative medicine and hate skeptics?? would you rather like everybody to follow all the scumbags there are just because their stories? Please make some sense.

[imjoebrady]

Doesn't seem like you're "skeptic to skepticans", it just seems like you hate them.

[AnaNord]

@imjoebrady Perhaps. I dislike them very much. I am not sure that is the same as hate, since i do not really hate people.

[imjoebrady]

@AnaNord Well that much is fairly obvious. But why is that? The song you chose for this video is really catchy, by the way, but if you know anything about the message, it's directed towards closed-minded, right-wing reactionaries. That's not what these skeptics are, especially James Randi. Did you know he's a homosexual?

So tell me, what's there to dislike about skeptics?

[AnaNord]

@imjoebrady Skeptics behave like hatefull extremists. Btw. I am not interested in any further discussion with you since you are from USA? Then you have really no clue what is going on in my country, and the skepticans campaign against alternative medicine.

[imjoebrady]

@AnaNord I'm guessing you're from Norway? That's where James Randi's last tour was. In that respect I do have a clue about what's going on in your country because I followed that tour.

But that's fine, if you want to be closed to discussion, so be it. But if you're about to post an aggressive video like this, be prepared to defend it, or at least make a little sense. Be prepared to explain why the campaign against homeopathy is wrong, or why skeptics act like "hateful extremists."

[imjoebrady]

And for goodness' sake don't refuse a civil conversation just because I'm from a different country, that would make you kind of like the people in Lily Allen's song that she's condemning. I'm not obtruding upon your beliefs or opinions, I would simply like to better understand why you believe what you do.

[ShrodingerFu]

@AnaNord I'd like to admit I know nothing about what is going on in your country. But When you look at the requests of these "extremists" they really aren't that unreasonable. All that skeptics want is for whoever suggests that any form of alternative medicine works that they should step forward and have it proven under observable conditions. James Randi would give that person a million dollars, which the could then use to establish a creditable firm for alternative medicine.

[theblackwidower]

@AnaNord Alternative medicine? You mean medicine that is not backed by science or evidence or reality? Are they trying to crush it? Good, they should do exactly that, because it is harmful and dangerous. People ignore real medicine because they are under the impression that the herbal supplement they take would cure their cancer. Then they die. This is dangerous and needs to be stopped!

Strålende jobb AnaNord ! Nå kommer folk til å sjekke ut hva som FAKTISK blir sagt i videoene. :D

Kanskje du kunne lagt opp en advarsel slik at folk ikke uforvarende klikker seg inn på videoene du har lånt fra? (wink)

[AnaNord]

@TheNorwegianSkeptic Haha! :)

[akaten916]

I dont get this video...

[AnaNord]

@akaten916 This is my contribution to our skepticans where i live. They invited James Randi, a magician to held some speeches. You probably get it, i am skeptic to skepticans.

[akaten916]

@AnaNord well then I'm a skeptic to skeptics to skepticans then.

[waksibra]

U mad?

[AnaNord]

@waksibra Yes. I see dead people everywhere.

[Mineretta2012]

@AnaNord My niece does too. You are not alone. There are others like you. Don't let the grim reapers get to you. Don't let anyone make you feel that who you are is crazy. You are not crazy you are special. You are unique and special. I got your back.
