Venturing into the lion's den with a pork-chop necklace isn't new to me but it's always a little scarry... I get the real sense that the vast majority of Glenn Beck's detractors havn't actually listened to him (more than soundbites here and there). First and formost, yes, he's a pundit and he...

I'm lost, what is your initial stance/question? Most splinters are organic in nature (like wood), they aren't necessarily "rejected" per se, but often (when close to the nerves) they aggrivate the area and/or cause a local infection (if allowed). I don't really know jack about alien implants...

Even though stphrz and I got off to a very rocky start in another thread, I have to stick up for him (or her, I'm not certian...apologies)...he's absolutely correct about rejection. I was a Cath Lab RN for a number of years and it's quite true that pacer/AICD electrodes are anchored directly...

Couldn't agree more

In my opinion, the debate over the mysteries of the paranormal should focus on: "seeing is believing" vs. "believing is seeing"

To add to your point, I have to say that it seems like releasing photos and/or videos to that "paranormal crowd" can be a double edged sword. Certainly the photos/videos would be neat to see but I've not seen a photo yet that someone hasn't called crap, or faked. Sure, most seem to be crap and...

Very well put, IMO.

Good point. Conceded. Let me redact and say: I don't want to CONTINUE a lengthy debate. But I can't stand by and be insulted either, so we'll see. I'm all for civil debate, but I tend to get passionate about some things...if you couldn't tell. :)

Gene, I don't want you to get the impression that I am calling you a "sellout" or even stating that you support Jarvis' theories by the nature of putting him on your show. My point was a literal one, you are "selling" the show to advertisers. The show MUST go on, regardless of the guest. It was...

...the last one. “There is no problem with prophecy. It is either correct or not correct. If someone gives an event and a date you merely wait until the date arrives and see if the event occurs. Why do you not understand this?” <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =...

....continued Dude, quit putting words in my mouth. This is another fallacy. It's called a strawman. You are attributing to me a position I do not hold, and then you attack that position. Then you accuse me of hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty. Wow, just wow. I don’t believe that I was...

...continued You are free to do that. But that is another fallacy. It's called an appeal to authority. I like Chris, I like his work as co-host of the Paracast. However, he is just one of many sacred cows I do not have. I have made that clear in some of my other posts on this forum. I really...

...continued I have no problems discussing religion or other points of view. It was you in fact that used the words "religious" and "nuts" in a sentence. What theory did I present? Where did I say it was the only theory worth paying attention to. When did I ever offer an analysis of Mr...

stphrz Imagine my surprise that you fired back a volley of condescending barbs. I wasn’t expecting that at all from you. Is it sarcasm, or not? One never can tell in this type of communication. <O:p First off, thanks for the Critical Thinking 101 refresher professor, but as you were pointing...

"Me thinks he doth protest too much..." Sometimes our "sacred cows" are our fervent claims that we HAVE no sacred cows. So you'll forgive me if I call bullshit on you. And I rather enjoy your advice to "get over myself" oooooo, you told me! But that's what I was asking you and the rest of...

I, for one, enjoyed the program and in spite of the difficulty you had in getting succinct answers from Jarvis, I listened twice. Those of you who paint Jarvis as a "nut" based on 2.5 hours of Q&A centered on the topic of the paranormal, are no better than him. You worship "grays" and...

So, I'm standing on my back Deck in the town of Waukee, Iowa last night [6/24/2010 APRX 10:15 CST] waiting for my dog to pee so I could take her back in and go to bed. I look up and as I glance to the west south west I see a very bright white light moving in a easterly direction (toward me...

Not that Psychology Today is a peer reviewed academic resource, but this article rather succinctly points out the pros and cons of hypnosis. I'm IN the mental health profession and other than trying to alter behavior (get people to stop smoking or lose weight) hypnosis isn't a really respected...

There seems to be a disconnect beween experiencers and sleep experts, I feel that there is probably truly SOME overlap, and that the experience claimed by some people is indeed SP, but most people seem able to truly differentiate wakefulness and sleep. I've had experiences that I'm certain are...

Thanks, and yes it does appear self made doesn't it?
