Skeptic Smackdown debate from Dragon*Con 2007 - Part 6

what a fuckin dumb fag. ooh a 65 yr old virgin that hunts for shit that isnt there. wtf

I have to comment on Patrick Burns and his being a so called t"true", skeptic. What he seems to forget is that Alison Smith and Michael Shermer too question things and are not dismissive. The big difference is that they just don't see the current evidence as being reliable. Whereas I suspect Mr. Burns sees even poor data as being proof of unusual phenomena.

Shermer is such a fruad. Hes to get off of his skeptical high horse.

Shermer! Rocked! The! House!

Thanks for posting.

I still can't believe he said that James Randi is a fraud.

[LeeTheAgent]

Yeah... that was pretty extreme in such a public forum... maybe his zombie mice told him to say it.

[Godsmasher22]

There is a moment when the guy is talking about evps he said the great majority of our tapes have nothing to offer. The believers seem to miss the significance of this little fact.

[MDHmodder]

I wouldn't call james randi a fraud, but do you not sometimes assert skepticism itself with some skepticism?

[mdarmour]

sounds like shermer was the only one with a brain

[Godsmasher22]

"At the end of the day, all research is still inconclusive."

That is not the kind of thing you want to hear or say about your research program!

But is singularly the funniest line in the whole debate.

This mouse study was published in the journal of parapsychology I am guessing?

[BoBman909]

nerds picking on other nerds lol.
