The anti woo thread.

[LetThereBeRock]

Can all those who don't believe in homeopathy,ghosts,talking to the dead,reading minds etc,please check in here?

There must be a few of us.

I feel as though I've logged onto allthingswoo.com rather than Mumsnet.com at the moment,and I'm not referring to this particuarly forum,but chat and AIBU?.

And if anyone says anything about how we should be openminded,I'm afraid I'll have to beat you to death with a a stick,one cut from an ash tree by the light of the first Summer moon of course.

You were a goat???? Special. I thought everyone was Mary Antoinette/Cleopatra/Salem witch

Atheist, sceptic and very anti-woo. This clip always makes me laugh

A goat? A lowly goat? That's a first,someone claiming they were a mere goat.

X Post.

"did you have to take less of the second lot of strychnine than the first time, because less is more powerful than more?"

Well dur! Obviously!

Nothing mere about it. I was the Lord High Goat, Ruler of the Seven Flocks.

A specialy goat - bred in a temple for sacrifice, obviously.

That's more like it. I knew you couldn't be just any old goat.

And thankyou to Hermajesties for making me inhale my soup into the wrong passage.

That's a real coincidence! In my previous life (well one of them) I was chief goat slaughterer at the temple! Maybe we have met before albeit briefly.

I talk to my dead self. Well, sort of bleat more.

Hello, fellow sensible anti-woo people.

Aspartame is vile. That's not woo. It just tastes horrid and it is a neurotoxin, but most people have to drink vatloads of it to have a negative effect. No chance of it affecting me, then, so as you were

Seriously though Hully I remember you.

No, I don't think so. I would know your aura.

I agree,Minnie.It's inevitable.

I'm going to play Woo bingo later. 'You have to respect my beliefs' is definitely on the bingo cards,along with 'Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist' and 'But it's just a theory'.

There was a sweet little thread earlier about Baby Haysoos coming back. Bless.

But my aura changed when the horoscope shifted. Surely you know that?

Auras can't change. They come out of your internal ectoplasm and swirl about your head. Yours is greenish and slightly odd smelling. That would never have been allowed in the temple.

at therugratref's youtube link - hadn't seen that one before - here it is again:

OOOh, woo bingo!

How about "Conventional medicine does more damage than alternative medicine"

"At least alternative medicine isn't in the pay of big business"

"I know what I saw"

I've just remembered another not so minor irritation.

The misuse of UFO. I'm quite sure that you saw an object which was flying,hovering,levitating and any other variation thereof,and you were unable to identify it,but that does not mean that it was piloted by little green men.

And it's nice to see so many rational people in one place - I've had to hide a few family members and friends on facebook because they are always talking about their reiki or homeopathy training, or how great Derek Acorah is....

Mind you, I think there is a place for complimentary medicine. You know, somewhere you could go when you're feeling down.

Doctor: I say Your Majesty, you do look rather stunning today. Is that a new hair style?

Seriously, there's a market.

Are you saying I'm making this all up? FFS!
