is just code for we know most published studies are fraudulent, and when the general public realizes just how low we've stooped, there WILL be hell to pay.
Belief in things you do not understand IS superstition, and "science" is the new religion for most people who like to think of themselves as being so fucking brilliant without actually doing any work.
He trains people how to respond to perceived life threatening situations WITH deadly force.
He's really THE perfect target.
Some people feel that people need to be protected from themselves, which is sometimes true, but no way to live your life, or run a government, or maintain a healthy society.
Some people believe that some information/knowledge/training should only be available to people that require it to preform a specific state-sanctioned function.
This whole issue is about a guy that gets paid to train people exactly how to respond to life threatening physical violence with methods that are THE most likely to save your life.
If you feel the state is going to protect you, and that you are incapable of responsibly using such methods, or don't feel the need or desire to learn them, don't.
But that's not enough for some people. Some people feel strongly that nobody should have such skills/knowledge/training.
This issue is a good representation of how people let their little political and idealistic agendas cloud their rational judgement.
The only reason this person should be judged as if he's fostering some sort of magical knowledge too dangerous for people to have, would be if he's imparting it intentionally upon people who use it to break the law. Since there's zero evidence of him EVER doing this, the ideologues here, as usual, resort to outright lying about him, and name-calling. And they get modded-up for doing so.
And he's the one being called "anti-social" by posters here for this.
You people are why chemistry sets now suck. I don't need your political ideals of protection, I need to be protected FROM you and your ideals, and the society of hypocrisy, cowardice, intellectual dishonesty, and victim-hood that you've created.
Sourcing a anon discussion thread isn't proof of much; other than you can't distinguish between someone who says they've received training vs. someone who says they've received training and certification.
Name-calling, sarcasm, exaggeration, and insistence on something being incontestable truth, while offering absolutely no evidence to support the assertion.
This is political talk, it isn't science.
Talk about the data, it's context, present your arguments. If you actually understand the issue enough to do so.
Otherwise, carry on, by all means; you provide an example of how not to convince people of MMGW.
You're reliance on the representation of data and statistics under the circumstances described, ironically, amounts to watching just Fox News for all your information.
So it must be good for America.
What could possibly go wrong ?
At some point the public is going to become aware that the FDA, the drug companies, and their doctors, are NOT their friends.
No, it's the problem with all types of "security" employers who hire the bottom-of-the-barrel personnel to do a job that can't possibly be done by them and that doesn't even need to be done.
Has not been paying attention over the last twenty years.
Also, these are just the papers that have been retracted by the journals because the errors have been so grievous and obvious.
Now, what about all the papers that have been intentionally written to be just wrong enough to pass ?
Put it all together, and you have more than a cancelling-out of the increase in published papers. What we have is journals publishing what amounts to as being mostly noise.
Yes, absolutely, teach kids about "Holocaust Denialism". What the fuck are you people so fucking afraid of ? The kids that are retards are going to believe it anyway, the rest are going to learn about it eventually one way or the other. Stop trying to shelter kids, they aren't idiots.
And stop pretending that "controversy" ceases just because YOU say so, despite the fact that it's right there in front of you. You just saying "it's not a controversy" is bullshit. Say what the fuck you mean, which is, most reasonable, intelligent people lend it no credence whatsoever.
Like much legislation, this is a feel-good political career move to appease morons.
However, I think people are protesting just a BIT too much
Schools SHOULD be "teaching controversy", one reason public education sucks donkey dicks is that so much time is spent preparing kids to pass tests, and so little is spent preparing them to think critically. And face it, this type of controversy is a golden fricken opportunity to do what teachers SHOULD be doing in the first place, TEACH kids logic, reason, critical thinking, how to evaluate evidence, what constitutes evidence, and the differences between different disciplines of knowledge.
If a teacher can't work with this, indeed, if a teacher isn't ALREADY doing this, they probably shouldn't even BE teaching.
So much of what we learned in public school was pure watered-down horseshit anyway, everybody needs to just grow the fuck up and remember that life doesn't really even start until you got into college and took a couple philosophy classes.
If you write anything that is brutally honest that has to do with race that doesn't appease people by denying reason, observable reality, and your own experience, you'll probably be fired.
I grew up in a rural area where there were literally almost no black people; in a high school of 2,000 we had ONE black kid. In my home town of 15k I do not recall ever seeing more than 1 or 2 black people right up through to my mid 20's.
The word "Coon" in my home state has NO racial connotations; it's the name of a sea captain and the state cat. While driving through another town, my mother once backhanded me in the car when I was 12 while we passed a Burger Boy restaurant, because she mistakenly thought my "Booger Boy" remark had something to do with a black pedestrian on the other side of the street, whom I could not see. My younger sisters corrected her, pointing out I could not have seen him, but the message was sent, loud and clear.
Both times in my life that I've been robbed and my life has been threatened, it was by black people.
Some of the nicest people I have ever met in my life happened to be black people. One of my best, and kindest, employers was black. One of the worst was also, black.
I have never encountered hostility from groups of people, based purely on race, like I have from blacks. Ever.
To deny the reality in the article that got Derbyshire fired is to lie about reality.
And to call the article "racist" is to be an idiot.

If it's ALREADY illegal, then they don't NEED this "clarification". "Clarification", cracker, please !

Yes, the ends justifies the means int he UK, we get it.
Ironic that you just supported your argument with something as specious as an equally blanket statement you implied tacit support of.
Big reason fail for the AC's in the UK right there.

Guess who pays for an army of cheap, easily exploitable labor that pays no taxes.
So it must be good for America.

Let's see discussion of the DATA, not the politics.
If you can't discuss the actual data, STFU, I don't give two shits what you believe in.
If you cant secure Windows, it's because you don't want to, and haven't bothered to figure out how to.
"outperforms" organic/sustainable farming. (sarcasm)

all the media articles over the decades related to amazing new discoveries relevant to HIV/AIDS.
99.999% of it would show that none of it has ever panned out, and it's all mostly bullshit.
Is the elephant int he room.
Good luck with your band-aids.

Just because you're in business doesn't mean you should lack imagination and ethics.
How convenient to entirely omit the one thing that is most necessary to evolve.
culture.
You "feel dirty" because it's true, and because you don't HAVE any black friends...
The use of the term "my brother" goes back a LOT further than you think.
Before you bitch about "cultural appropriation" and "textbook privilege"...
Never mind, you're just a stupid asshole.

What do you mean "there will be".
It's already happened, it's been that way since at least the 80's.
