Why do you assume that there exists some reason beyond a simple physical malfunction? Humans probably see in the spectrum that they do rather than, say, infrared, ultraviolet, or even ultra low frequency sound [you have ears that perform there], probably because that is the spectrum in which...

It's every bit as far from doing signs as well.

Seems a shame to lose something that brought harm to no one merely to assuage the delicate sensibilities of those who appear to possess only a dim comprehension of their own existence. Every human being is responsible for its own condition. Catering to anyone who refuses to accept this...

I don't do wraps but I do a lot of truck tailgates. I put the burden on the client. I make it abundantly clear that I do not do body work. If handles, badges, latch plates, whatever need to be removed I send them off the body shop of their choice and have them come back with a fully stripped...

I can well understand that this is a business and you want to construct it such to provide maximum return for you. Nothing wrong with that. That being the case then why the what appear to be gratuitous rationalizations for discontinuing the NHB sandbox? 'Emotional hurt'? Even if there were...

Assuming you're not being deliberately obtuse and you actually are as silly as you sound, allow me to slightly modify my statement to "if it doesn't work for everyone under like conditions, it probably doesn't work at all." There now, that version should require any no doubt painful...

Yes, of course. For all those who respond 'No': Would you be deprived of some benefit currently being enjoyed? Would your spine curve or hair grow in the palms of your hands if there were to exist a place where people were free to express an actual unabashed opinion? Would you be...

To quote the late Carl Sagan "They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Galileo, they also laughed at Bozo the clown." That last paragraph of yours is telling. If it doesn't work for me then it probably doesn't work. There is no mechanism in the external reality that functions for believers but...

Bzzzzt, thank you for playing. Absence of evidence is indeed evidence of absence. I realize that this is one of the mantras of the current generation of pseudo-scientists currently clogging up the system. It sounds very poetic and, at the same time, profound, and it will cause everyone...

Not offhand, but I do know of people who visit all manner of self proclaimed psychics, seers, tea leaf readers, general purpose mojo men, acupuncture, acupressure, and perhaps even acuhappythoughts practitioners over and over again, seemingly endlessly. Being carried in, no doubt close to...

Please, spare the rest of the civilized world the tortured reasoning. Regardless of who was convicted of what, how does this establish the scientific bona fides of chiropractic? Be specific. An oblique analogy to your argument would go something like: 'Someone was convicted of conspiring to...

There's a large difference betwixt resisting change and resisting gratuitous change. The former is suspect, the latter should be praised. You offer gratuitous change resistance to which should be praiseworthy. By virtue of the changes you've instituted nothing is functionally different...

That's a hell of a stretch. Please point out exactly where in the post to which you're responding I have said anything not true as well as explain just what that might have to do with slavery.

Inferring any sort of rights, any sort at all, on on-human species does nothing but dilute and make meaningless your own rights which are damn few in number anyway.

It is not possible to commit murder on any species other than human. Using the term 'murder' as regards non-human species infers that possess rights which they most certainly do not. Dogs, and all other non-human species, are at best chattel property that live and die at the pleasure of their...

For the amount of science involved with chiropractic you'd be just as well served by staining yourself blue and dancing around a fire at midnight while waving beads and rattles and chanting "Booga Booga". Both activities exhibit zero science as well as a pant-load of post hoc ergo propter hoc...

As well as some of the nastiest. Your point being?

Not the point, sport. These people could well be able to scale vertical surfaces like geckos. Perhaps even scamper across the ceiling. They may be the best rock climbers that there ever was. That says absolutely nothing about just how these few seconds of video were produced. While I...

No fatuous resolutions, merely reinforcing and perhaps polishing my primary operating principle: Only deal with the rest of the external reality on my terms or not at all. Any accommodation, no matter how trivial, shown anything or anybody remains my choice and my choice alone, for whatever...

Minor village officials, virtually all of whom gained their position by winning a popularity contest, shouldn't be expected to possess any understanding whatsoever of the various laws and principles under which we all labor. For the most part they possess absolutely no qualifications for the...
