    The pseudoscience bullshit about disruption of a natural balance I can handle. That's the general idea behind chiropractics and a lot of other mainstream nonsense. But I am amazed at how poorly formed and self contradictory that article is. This is clearly a person that has had a lot of pseudoscience thrown at her, which she comprehended none of, and now she's just spewing it back out in some bastardized glob of horse shit.

    Ha! You're right lady, that kettle is black.

    I know a lot of religious people who I like and respect, but if you think modern science and medicine are useless because God gives you everything you need, then you are objectively stupid.

    The general idea behind chiropractics is to push your bones back where they belong after an injury. This is not pseudo-science. It is an amalgamation of millenia old therapies. I get rankled when people dismiss psychiatrics as well.

    I read one sentence of that "blog", literally the opening sentence, and closed the window. I don't care how amusing it is to make fun of her, or how big of a rage-gasm it elicits. She is too stupid to live, let alone disseminate dangerous theories to other impressionable idiots, and she is probably a burden on everyone she knows. I hope she gets some sort of instant, virulent pooping disease where her, no doubt, weary husband finds her crapped inside out on the toilet.

    Not once do these cretins think maybe, just maybe, God gave people his medicine to use to enrich their lives, and then praise him for it like he did for the Israelites wandering in the wilderness (book of Numbers). No, aspirin is obviously The Devil. Everything is The Devil.

    Or maybe that he gave us brains to invent science and medicine? Kind of like how our brains invented cars and computers? But nah, we don't need those things, horses and stone tablets are better and more God-approved.

    You sound like the devil. Medicine, science, technology are all acceptable until about 1750. The rest is the devil.

    I will pray for you.

    That's a part of it, and no one is going to argue that part, but there is more to it. There is a significant part of the community that treats it as a comprehensive form of healthcare. There are people who believe that proper spine alignment will cure Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. They also tend toward seeing a misalignment as a cause instead of a symptom, and fail to treat the real problem.

    My former roommate is a practicing chiropractor. If you press him, he'll admit that some of what he does is BS, but he still pays his bills by giving the same people adjustments every week.

    Technology leads to music, and music leads to dancing.

    The devil.

    I think the bottom line is pseudo-science works at about the same effective rate as hoping that something were so. However, as long as they "see" it or read about it, there will be people naive enough to believe in it. Despite the overwhelming spike in measels that was just officially released, vaccine naysayers say it isn't because of their sickening growing trend. Nope, to this day they're still saying it causes Autism. Fuck all those PHD's with their long-earned college degrees and research.

    I just threw up in my mouth a little.

    I have a tight butt muscle which made today's workout really hard. But since we are expecting a storm tomorrow (not really 3-5") and I don't have to be anywhere, I decided to take a muscle relaxer--which normally wipes me out--since it's not seemly to walk around digging my knuckles into my ass cheek (but it feels SO good). But there's a plot twist. I also had a cup of coffee. What will win? I'm like my very own science experiment right now. This is absolutely riveting...to no one...but me. FYI--coffee is winning right now. Although I am feeling relaxed. I've been wanting something to eat for the past hour and can't seem to get up to get it. Although The Fugitive is on.

    Hey, I forgot to ask. What was your reaction when they said you were naked? Some people get all shy and others out (haha) and proud. Although if you say you got all bashful I'm going to think you have a small wiener and were trying to hide it.

    Yeah, sure, pick and choose on the quote. I never do anything like that.

    Any of you guys worried about me, I did get up and get some food. You can all breathe easy now and go about your partying. Or in Crown's case, paper dress-making.

    Yea that was my thought. I was really tempted to post something shockingly similar

    I'm tired at 8:00pm on Friday and all I did was skate twice and sleep 5 hours the night before. Fuck getting old.... I'm one of those people that hates sleeping, kind of view it as a waste of time. I abhor going to sleep before midnight. I'll do everything in my power short of snorting adderall to stay up till Saturday morning tonight

    Fuck flying. I can't look at a plane without getting sick. Flight's delayed going home. I feel like hell. I want a hot bath and I want to go to bed.

    Find the nearest person in a uniform. Any uniform will do, even a janitor. Scream "ALLAH AKBAR!" at the top of your lungs.

    Airport layover boredom is over. Hell, you might even be able to DVR your performance from the news.

    The guy that "hypnotized" me didn't do the naked bit for ours. It was all dudes since it was a fraternity conference, so maybe that bit works better when there are women around.

    Tom Deluca did the naked thing, and one of the funniest parts was watching one of the big football players sort of crouch and try to hide behind a chair.

    I do not have a big weiner and would be shy if I were naked in a room full of people. Although, my weiner is kinda magical, so maybe I would've been acting like I was all flashing it around.

    Finally watched the movie "Lone Survivor" (based on the book by the same name about Operation Red Wings, written by Marcus Luttrell).

    While I cannot recommend the book for everyone (gets too political for my tastes), the movie is astounding. Only issue I could find, which is extremely minor, is a certain thing called "muzzle awareness" which actors and directors need to learn.

    So now I'm re-addrenalized and drinking a cheap cab, trying unsuccessfully to get tired again.
