Continuing my sceptical rant.
Here's ten things that are bollacks.
1: Global warming cause by humans.
2: Mad cow disease in humans, 100 people a year died of the ordinary prion brain disease before the scare, a hundred a year have died since, experts in the field are starting to admit it never existed, all BSE deaths are just the original disease, but the government pays them out to keep them quiet.
3: 3-1 vaccination causing autism, original study totally debunked as drivel.
4: Salt gives you high blood pressure, since been totally disproven, hangs on as urban myth.
5:Gulf war syndrome, sorry if you think you've got it but total bollacks.
Hats off to anyone with the balls to go to war, but people get ill all the time.
6:Cellphone towers cause cancer, EVERYTHING can cause cancer, even your socks could give you cancer, you get more radio waves from your TV tower on top of the nearest hill.
7:White asbestos is dangerous, since been proven to be as inert as talcum powder, but it's gone too far to turn back, billions of dollars invested in cleaning it up.
8: Chiropractors, shysters of the 10th degree, people associate them with back treatment, only because they actually base their treatment on the bollocks that all disease is cause by spine mis-allignments.
9:Alternative medicine, don't start me on this one, if some 'natural' drug actually worked, then Glaxo would be banging down your door to buy it and make billions. They don't because it doesn't, people just fool themselves.
AND FINALLY!!!!!
ASTROLOGY, probably bigger than religion in the UK, utter,utter freakin bo-lo-lacks.
Entirely designed to make astrologists money, full stop that's it.
In fact since it was invented, the sky has moved round so the months don't line up to the stars and planets anymore, plus there really should be a 13th sign now.
James Randall nailed it when he gave a class of students their own personal astrology reading from a imaginary top astrologist, they all read them and every one said it was exactly them , the astrologist had described their personalities exactly and all he had been given was their birth date and sex.
So he asked then to all swap papers, and the bomb dropped, every paper was exactly the same.
People are very easy to describe, we all have the same desires, fears and dreams.
