  3. Worst Science Job: Chinese "Doctor" by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    I imagine that the absolute worst science job in the world is being a Chinese "doctor". These "doctors" slice organs out of unwilling patients and sell the organs on the black market, usually to Taiwanese customers. Further, on occasion, the Chinese doctors skin the patients alive and dump their still breathing carcasses into a dump truck.

    The feeling of "worst" applies to any Westerner who would be compelled to work at such a job. On the other hand, the Chinese who is culling the organs most likely relishes his job and takes a ghastly delight in using Nazi-style techniques to extract the organs.

    China and the USA are really very different societies. Tibet, anyone?

    Instead you shove it in their face and tell them that it proves they've wasted their life with their religion.
    and? religion is the opiat of the people my friend. it's a tool for control, and for happiness without thought. religion is the collective gathering of people who can't make up their on theology and believe whatever they want to believe, collectively. they need their beliefs pre-digsted.
