See what I mean, Hans? The trolls just dont get it.

What's to refute? There's nothing in them, so content-free posts need no refutation.
If there is no logic in one's phrasing, then it is simple to point out the contradiction.
Your claim that nothing is in them is unsubstantied by logic or reason, merely supported by wishful thinking and a strong desire to save face after your own contradictions were exposed.
the theory that association or proximity to another human being somehow refutes the logical inference in my posts
I've given you facts. How you (fail to) address them is up to you, bozo.
I dont see how posting a seminar given by Dr. Lo supports that theory. Can you explain?
yes, it means removing the 'woo-woo' and providing a rational framework to explain a very old philosophical system that founded an entire civilization.
yes, taoist practices would fall under that guidline.
You havent provided any.
Boy, you HAVE got it bad, haven't you!
me? nah, I am doing great! i am about to be father in about a week or two, and have a few rather exciting projects on my table.
You do know that the Noetic Institute is (in)famous for its (lack of) scientific reputation versus its (outlandish) claims?
I understand that a few scientific materialists make that claim. But I am skeptical about all claims until I can verify them for myself.
It's a home for wannabe-famous-agains who have lost their marbles, but mainly a means of bilking the public out of money.
yeah, that's what some people say about Randi too, but I dont believe them any more than I believe you.
How much have YOU paid them recently, hmmm?
zilch. I dont know much about them, other than the founder is pissed that the film 'What the Bleep do we know' contained crappy science.
The list of "famous names" who have abandoned their former rationality in favour of laughable and clearly unscientific woo-wooism is far longer than you know.
hmm, that sounds like a conspiracy theory, care to elaborate on another thread?
Next you will be trotting out the one about Isaac Newton being a Creationist Christian.
Oh! Your making a prediction! I suppose if I do, that may make you eligible for collecting the million dollar prize...
Or Darwin recanting on his deathbed.
Nah, next I am going to go to sleep and laugh at how silly your irrational ideas read on a discusion forum.
But does this make your point any more valid?
Yes, the point I made to hans in my previous posts were that trolls never seem to get the message, and you validating it perfectly.
yes, it's true, your validating just about everything I have said about trolls
The stage is all yours to keep right on going demonstrating your inadequacies and delusions.
Doenst look that way to me, I have given you every oppurtunity to use simple rational exchange to explain your point of view, and, being a troll, you continue to use ad hominem, pictures, and other childlike forms of communication which apparently dont relate to anything that i have written in this thread so far in any meaningful sense.
You have already exposed enough of your own agenda here to have us tag you as a looney of the first water.
lol, well, my friend, trolls try to 'tag' anybody using ad hominem when they have nothing rational to contribute.
Y'know, bubblebrain, if you were in any way rational you would have produced proper references to Dr Lo's reputable scientific work in a flash...we got nothing.
really? how did you come to that conclusion? the title of the thread and my opening post laid out the grounds of the discussion and I asked simple questions and recieved rational responses from a few members.
i dont see how not getting what you want means I am irrational, can you explain?
lol, as if I was to hand you over the research papers of a accomplished theortical physcist you would have understood them anyway.
If you were serious about the JREF challenge (and Dr Lo should be - $1,000,000 sure beats $20 per head lecturing at a looney convention) you would have had an application in already...
really? your saying that when one has a serious intention, then they immedialty follow through on a resulting action without properly planning thier steps or finish other projects before hand?
I dont know, Zep, that sounds pretty impetious. I dont see how performing a task according to another persons value system = seriousness, can you explain?
again, nothing we know of, and plenty of paltry excuses why not.
oh, so sorry Zep, I know your excited, but didnt your parents ever teach you the value of patience?
As Hans has rightly pointed out, you are a verbally masturbating troll.
ahh, more mythological refrences. Apparently both you and Hans have quite a naughty imagination!
