Probably, not sure what your concept of high handedness is. The memes were snarky, self indulgent, and counter to successful communication, but right for the context. If I were posting in a professional capacity where the goal is to convey information it would be inappropriate, but for two...

I've not called anyone names, nor have I at anytime doubted or implied that ounevin is too dumb to understand what I am saying. This is why I have provided links, because I trust that he/she can understand the content. Additionally, ounevin is the one who keeps saying that it isn't their job...

As I said, you've provided nothing to demonstrate bias other than the articles disagree with you. I've shown you that the overwhelming scientific evidence says aspartame is as safe as sugar. You only said you don't want to pay attention to it, and apparently the reason is that you're not here...

This is the point. The appeal to nature is arbitrary. Herbs are drugs and their safety must be assessed individually, just like drugs. Who makes the decision, reality, and the scientific method is the best proxy we have available to interpret reality's voice...

You seem to be confusing science with politics. Science does not decide the drug schedule. Science isn't perfect, but it has an excellent track record. When it gives us information which allows us to gain some sort of control over nature, like generating electricity from moving water...

A consensus in science is portrayed by denialists to be a reflection of researcher opinion; it is not. A consensus is subject to the harmony of the data that researchers are looking at. A consensus means that the data is now clear enough that experts (people who may not necessarily like or want...

Do you realize the appeal to nature is a fallacy? The fact that something is natural, or that something happens in nature, says nothing about its safety or reliability. http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Appeal_to_nature

Science is done one study at a time, but one study by itself means very little. That's why I said scientific consensus. Consensus means that people who do not necessarily like or want to agree with each other still agree on what the science says. Does that mean scientific consensus is never...

Saying someone is ignorant or unqualified is not an attack on character. In fact, its one of the few times ad hominems are relevant. I'm not sure if you know much about chemistry or not, but you do seem to be forgetting one of the most basic tenants of chemistry - the dose makes the poison...

The article reflects the scientific consensus. You realize that science designs tests which let reality be the judge? That means, the only one who could be biased is mother nature herself, because she is the one giving us the results. https://whatdoesthesciencesay.wordpress.com/aspartame/...

Chemistry's image problem... Aspartame Truth vs Fiction http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/aspartame-truth-vs-fiction/

Organic vs. Conventional Agriculture http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4166

That would be a neat trick. Plant roots cannot absorb organic material until it has been broken down into less complex chemicals, and it's done by microbes which use chemicals. Chemicals are not what distinguishes the organic growing method from hydroponics. There's much more nuance to it...

George was like one of those sonic pest repellers, only instead of emitting a noise bugs don't like, he broadcasted an endless stream of idiot babble and narcissistic brain diarrhea that disgusted people when it got on them. Who knows who might come around now that he's turned off.

Not music, just good info...

A trash bag never looked so good!

"Emoto’s popularity is a sad commentary on the scientific illiteracy of our society. His work is a morass of factual errors, misconceptions, misinterpretations, metaphors, and meaningless assertions. He writes in the language of magical thinking and superstition, not of science. A real...
