Feyerabend had more time for Popper than I ever did, but then he knew him personally and I didn't.

Love it. These are old arguments. I'm still not sure why you claim that falsifiability is "is rapidly headed for oblivion".

Also a bit confused by your reference to [Popper's] earlier positivist doctrines. Popper was an opponent of positivism.

Maybe Popper falsified himself, Snail.

Yet again we are left speechless by the precision of Steve's scientific analysis.

I think and believe that foul abuse in place of argument as practised by the likes of Musket dissuade decent people from joining n debate.
Hence the dwindling BS section.

Whilst we are at it, who are the decent people Keith?

You mention my foul abuse. What about your support of terrorism in Palestine by Israeli militants? When have you ever criticised Akhenaton for homophobic hatred? Did you choose not to read what Goofus just put? What about Michael's broad brush attack on Muslims?

Yeah, we decent people put up with a lot really...

It is interesting to note the self-righteous tone of those posters who disapprove of the bearpit atmosphere that sometimes prevails on some of these threads (such as this one). Yes, people say things on the internet that they would not say to people's faces but that does not mean they are not thinking those things. Forums like this may be no more than social interaction with the gloves off.
A number of posters have criticised the Muskets for mistaking obscene abuse for argument. Such protesters have a point, but the impact on me (and, I suspect, others) of Muskets' posts is simply to ignore them because, while they may have a brain, evidence of any form of critical thinking is in short supply in what they post. This has the effect of undermining the credibility of what they say and, in turn, could enhance the credibility of those they attack. It may be possible that such self defeating behaviour will die out because of this. This thought leads me to wonder whether this process could be analogous to evolution...now then Steve Shaw......

Yeah but if you don't understand through poor mental capacity, ignoring is a good option Brendan.

Your post does indeed enhance the perceived credibility of the likes of Akenaton.

Your family must be very proud of you.




Its the "up your arse" stupidity and sanctimony of those with nothing to be sanctimonious about that makes posting irresistible. There may be one in every village but we appear to have a commune in the BS section.

Note the quote was "and lick their wounds" , not "their balls".

I have noted before that my dog has no balls, thanks to the vet.

That doesn't stop him from licking them.

Thats why I added he note, recognizing your sensitivity about such a personal loss.

Oh, Musket is just pissed that the dogs are trying to lick their own balls and not his, but alas ans alack, the dogs find that Musket doesn't have any either....that's why he will not engage in any real discussions and only nags those who do....then he avoids any real exchanges....just fantasy drivel....which, if you go back and read his posts, proves the very point!..He is quick to slur anyone who doesn't go along with his delusions, but refuses to answer their questions back to him...somewhat a cross between the annoyance of a mosquito and a gnat!
