Here Be Dragons: An Introduction to Critical Thinking
Here's a nice video I found. I was going to post it in the debate forums as -REQUIRED VIEWING-, but I couldn't find a way to wrap it up in a debate.

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5r...uction-to_tech

It's basically what the title says it is: an instructional video on how to detect and avoid pseudoscientific bullshit.

You like?
I'm back, I think... :)

Pretty basic, IMO, but I could see how it might be helpful to people who lack functioning brains.

This is stupid.

There are accounts by so many people in many different languages in different continents. The bible is authentic. Jesus was a real person. You can't compare it to dragons.

You shouldn't be insulting those poor, gullible people, Clbck... Misled, yes... Lack of a functioning brain? No...

Bible? Although I was slightly surprised that the guy didn't talk about religion, he didn't say a single word about the bible...
Something preoccupying you there, buddy? Want to talk about it? I'm a pretty good listener, if I say so myself...

How so? Could you elaborate? The guy seems pretty rational to me...

But it takes about half a brain to see what you are insinuating.

2. one of the coolest members EVAR

this video never really does talk about the other side of it, like the things that actually do work. honestly, he thinks the chiropractor is fake?
On 18, 2008 of the year August, we shall have tea. The following day we eat anyone wearing purple clothes. Then we get into tanks, drive a mile away from each other, and start firing random shells into the air. First one to hit the other tank gets a 5 second head start in the 1 legged race.

In the one legged race, you will be hogtied and forced to compete in the Boston marathon using your penis only. We shall also set down bear traps, landmines, barbed wire, and floating thumbs. Your penis will be painted to resemble an illusion that looks like a 3-D steak; as a result, several Dobermen and Rottweilers we will be taking for a walk that morning which have been starved the previous week may attack.
