2. The majority

of the posters in the Health forum! You know--Big Pharma is evul! Vaccines are poison! I read teh google I know more than any professional.....They even have their own emoticon here::crazy: - woo-woo-woo-woo...along of course with this all time favorite..
:tinfoilhat:
Oh yeah and there are more than a few in the 9/11 forum..

3. You know, i've been here four years and i've never been to the health forum!

The only thing evil about Big Pharma, is that it is "for profit", and that's because I'm for Universal/single-payer health care. Anyone who implies the researchers and the people developing the drugs are evil is a moran!

I just plain stay away from the 9/11 forum. Yep... :tinfoilhat:

4. Smart guy

Until recently I would have said Health/9/11 craziest forums on the board but now..they pale to GD-Pfft! (and what a great name that is!)

[madinmaryland]

5. GD:Pffftthhh! Yep.

At least those others are just tinfoilhat stuff, which is mostly laughable, but not serious.

What's going on in GD:PP is just insane.

BTW, nomad took me off ignore. Found out he's a giants fan!!1!! :rofl:

6. Agree with you both

As a non-American who just wants the Republican reign to END, I find the GD-Pfft! battles quite startling.

BTW, in the UK, 'primary' generally means a school for young children. Just saying.

8. It's really depressing in a way, as it is over things that are really

inconsequential. No debate over the issues.

7. SS&P shorthand for the poor people

who believe in all sorts of magical thinking (shorthand, woo) from astrology through healing magnets and crystals though crackpot conspiracy theories about nearly everything through the power of the type of prayer that orders a deity to do something specific in exchange for flattery.

[madinmaryland]

9. BTW, did you realize there is a forum on DU for

praying and prayers?

I actually went to the lobby and saw it. People actually do post in there.

10. I'm sure they do

and if that futile exercise makes them feel better, let them go for it.

The problem comes when they want to LEAD everybody else, me included, in the same futile exercise and get all bent out of shape when people tell them no thanks.

12. Well, religion is just organised Woo, really.

Belief in invisible friends, mysterious powers, blah blah blah...

[Dr. Strange]

11. People who post the brazillion joke.

There are other names as well. (CarrotTop lovers, parasites, Cowboys fans, etc.)

13. .....

Don't pee in the pool, DuStrange!:P

14. no soap

no soap, radio!
