Since it seems to be dominated by Big Foot discussions. I used to seem like we had a nice mix of woo but lately all of it seems to be about Big Foot. We need some diversity! All this BF discussion has almost driven me to the CT forums! Come on! We need some dowsing, remote sensing, homeopathy, aura reading, chakra adjusting, alien abductions, etc topics!
 
Well, the 9-11 guys seem to have died out, or at least they never produce anything new. You pointed out the bigfoot problems.

I guess we could argue about cancer being a fungus, but I agree with you, I want some big crazy.

Dowsing is a popular activity in areas such as Mount Warning, Australia.

Some other lines of investigation are pursued at Wollumbin Dowsing:


Esoterically Wollumbin is a place where numerous Earth energy lines converge and is a major hub within the Earth's energy grid. These Earth energy lines are known by different names in different cultures but are all one in the same. Ley lines, Songlines, Dreaming Tracks, Dragon Lines and Serpent Paths are all describing the Earth's energy grid. Within the dimensions of spirit there are representatives from all the cultures that have ever inhabited the Earth as well as those from the star systems of our galaxy and beyond. It is not uncommon for people to see UFO's around the mountain or to encounter the mysterious hairy people known as Yowies.

Anything of interest there? ;)
 
I've been wondering what happened to Yowies. They always had these good animal toy things in them when you broke them open and ate their delicious chocolate insides.

There is a LOT of woo in there.
I was about to comment on the usual dowser unfact about underground streams, but the first paragraph on "Geopathic Stress" is just FULL of stuff "I didn't know".

  • It is not the water itself that is the problem it is the ‘electrical discharge' created by its movement.
  • It is important not to position your bed over an underground stream. The counter-clockwise spin from the water will discharge your personal energy system so that you will not feel ‘recharged' after sleeping.
  • A common term heard these days is that of a ‘cancer bed'. It has been shown that when multiple underground streams cross under a bed the intensity of the resulting discharging field can adversely affect the health of the long-term occupier.
  • Because these radiations are not bound by the confines of our 3 dimensional reality the water veins can be detected in the same place on each floor of a multistory building.
Oh how I wished that the authors of this piece of drivel were posters here...

Actually the BF discussions have quieted down since a troll or 2 was dealt with ..


When are you going to take down your Christmas lights ?
 
I agree with supercorgi; the bigfoot stuff really has taken over the General Skepticism subforum. I always hope for something new and kooky when I click that link, but the BF stuff is perpetually at the top.
It's interesting that you'd mention Geopathic Stress, EHocking; I ran across a local woman who runs a woo site at goldkhu.com, where she is apparently the "Authorised US Distributor" for some Australian-based new age products, including the "Personal Harmonizer" and "Wands of Horus" (don't tell Akhenaten; he'll unleash some sort of Egyptian curse on the site.) I was going to start a thread about these products, but after a search of the forum, it looks like they had been dealt with back in '04. Geopathic Stress came up in those old threads, along with imploded water, etheric fields, auras, and a whole slew of nuttiness. Looks like it all originates from some Aussie site called the Centre for Implosion Research.
Anyway, I think I had a point here; probably something along the lines of "there's nothing new under the sun." But I do look forward to some subforum diversity, even if it is just more ghost or alien topics.
 
On seeing the thread title, I thought it was going to be one of those open ended statements where each poster would get to provide his or her own ending.

Seeing as that's not the case, I'll refrain from offering a different conclusion to your statement.

I'll just look through my 'woo' collection and find something juicy to start a thread about so you'll all have something fresh and new to ridicule. :p

Me too. I figured it was a good thing. The "conglomerate woo level” seems to be decreasing. I guess, ideally, there would be no woo and JREF would no longer have a purpose and would end. The less the merrier. :)

Good to see we're leading the world in something.

Oh and Akhenaten has the international option on the "Wand of Horus".
 
Biigfoot taking over this sub forum? I cannot see it. Only three threads on the first page and one on the second page.

And any subject that you do not like you can ignore by ignoring the tag. Then that topic no longer exists for you.
 
Well, we have an active ghosts-and-astrology-are-the-real-deal-you-skeptics-refuse-to-accept-my-evidence-standards-and-personal-experiences-which-must-be-real poster, the mandatory doomsday thread, some other poster who claims to have some sort of paranormal powers... Its not that bad, I think. Maybe the problem is that woo gets old with time, same old claims refurbished by new posters.

Not unlike bigfoot, but in this case outside from an activity burst triggered by a certain proponent who has the nasty habit of ehxuming old threads, it all boils down to one or two obstinate proponents which seem to be willing to achieve a "last word victory". Yep, I've developed kinda of an addiction to that. So, I do share a portion of the blame.

I miss Interesting Ian (his early phase had better arguments), Franko...

I've worked in the oil industry, specifically drilling, so I find dowsing an interesting/amusing topic. Especially when people spout how many wells are located by dowsing and of course dowser's complete lack of knowledge of underground structures, particularly water sources.

Then why didn't you start one of those instead of basically starting another bigfoot-related thread?
