The Flu vaccine is worthless and damaging
Lee J. Moore wrote in message ... But then that's why Godwin's law exists. Too many people on Usenet are ready to wheel out Hitler whenever they're without suitable retort. No. Godwin formulated his law in the same way a natural law would be formulated. It says : Godwin's Law: prov. [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups. source: http://www.science.uva.nl/~mes/jargon/g/godwinslaw.html From this it is clear that Godwin merely formulated a 'natural' law, and in some groups this is taken as the point at which the thread ends. Just though I'd be pedantic :-) -- Robert Bronsing Can't you see? It all makes perfect sense, expressed in dollars and cents, pounds, shillings and pence (R. Waters) |

Subject: The Flu vaccine is worthless and damaging From: Eric Bohlman Date: 11/18/2003 5:03 PM Pacific Standard Time Message-id: (Jan) wrote in : You can't believe anything Mark says, I serious doubt his business is big enough to donate that many computers, like his buddies, he most likely made the whole thing up. 386 computers, my foot. When a computer-literate person ZZzz. Insult noted. sees "386 computers" in the context in which Mark wrote it, he or she immediately thinks "computers with Intel 80386 processor chips" which were commonly called "386s." LOL. Sorry, you are completely wrong. When one see 386 computers, they think 386 computers. Ho wowoudl yuou know, since there is no evidcen that you think? He doesn't think "three hundred and eighty-six different computers." 386 computers used to be rather common items to donate; in fact I still see some of them at the local thrift stores. And??? Your point??? I see computer is thrift stores also. I also see a lie when it is a whopper. We are not talking fast food, but 80386 computers. You just are so desperate to show people with whom you disagree are liars that you do not have a clue. I repeat. You can't believe anything Mark says, I serious doubt his business is big enough to donate that many computers, like his buddies, he most likely made the whole thing up. 386 computers, my foot. You know Eric, I used to think you were one step above the others debunkers, with your recent posts, you have reduced to the bottom with them, anything to protect your buddies. You are getting absurd. Actually, you have got to absurd, and with this one, passed it with the red lights flashing. |
