Insight into the phases of the Internet forum life cycle: a perspective

Billions of people would starve to death if they had to depend on organic grown food.[...] Wrong again. The so called "green revolution" of introducing herbicide/pesticide intensive mono-crop agriculture into the developing nations has been a disaster for both food production and the livelihood of farmers. Diverse organic farming produces *more* food per acre than industrial farming. The green revolution is what has prevented many millions of people from starving to death. Malthus is ever correct. His predictions have just been postponed because of things like the "green revolution " which he could not have foreseen. Mass starvation is in everyone's future. However, the multinational agribusinesses and their banking backers have made out like bandits at the expense of the proletariat.

Has the oracle of Minnesota ever taken into consideration the rise in the cost of health care that has been a directly attributed to food laced with herbicides, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, etc. the thing is it has never been a requirement for Ed to know what he is talking about before running his mouth, spewing errant, unsubstantiated opinions. Tis the nature of troglodyte troll. -- Tºm Shermªn - 42.435731°N, 83.985007°W I am a vehicular cyclist. |

This is the fallacy of trying to prove something by saying it again and again, but no matter how many times one repeats something, it will not become any more true than it was with the first utterance. Repetition is no substitute for argumentation. I gave specific example to substantiate what I said. You merely repeated your fallacious opinion without offering any substantiation in support of your position ... typical!!! [...] Please recall that Mr. Ed Dolan is a fan of Faux Noos, which uses the repetitive big lie technique (when it is not spying on and blackmailing public figures). Mr. Tom Sherman is a dupe of the liberal mass media. Even worse, he reads crap like the Huffington Post. No wonder he is such a jerk!

You have opted for academic stagnation ... an unfortunate choice. I knew an academic type who decided to learn a new language at age 70. Why? Because he wanted to keep his mind sharp. He died a year later. He would have been better off contemplating the eternal verities like me instead of learning a new language which he would never use. [...] What we have here is the logical fallacy know as a red herring ... introducing irrelevant facts or arguments to distract from the question at hand. It is a dead-on point. I am saying that it is not worthwhile after a certain age to bother learning anything new since it will all come to naught anyway. Learning is for the young when there is time enough for it to be put to good use. The only one who is NEVER getting the point is yourself! There is no end to learning if you lived to be a thousand. After a certain point, wisdom becomes foolishness! It is why intellectuals are universally held in contempt by the run of mankind. Look at Tom Sherman for instance. He has educated himself into an idiot! Be careful you do not do the same about foods and nutrition. [...] Your pursuit of alternative treatments will keep you mentally occupied and who knows, you may even hit on something. But the chances are that it will be a dead end. That is why they remain forever alternative treatments. What we have here is a logical fallacy know as a non sequitor or fallacy of stating, as a conclusion, something that does not strictly follow from a premises. Many a conventional medical treatment is literally a "dead end" and that is what gave birth to and popularized alternatve treatments. Unfortunately, many are quackery that appeal to the desperate. I am not interested in alternative treatment, but rather complimentary means in a holistic approach to the treatment of my disease. I guess the subtlety of the none too subtle difference escaped your attention. Yes, the subtlety does indeed escape me. It is an alternative to conventional medical practice and treatment. As long as you are not relying on it to the exclusion of what is KNOWN, I suppose it will not do any harm. But it is not KNOWN that it will do any good either. [...] You probably know more useless information than I know, but all the pertinent information relating to prostate cancer can be summed up in a rather small booklet. In your jaded, opinion based upon what litlle you know you forgot to add. I know more useful information than you do regarding prostate cancer. That much has become abundantly clear. You value your learning too highly. You value that class you took in logic while at college too highly too. Read the small booklet and you will know all you need to know. Leave everything else to the medical researchers. If what they find out is any good, it will make its way into the booklet. Saying something is so doesn't make it so, even if you are the ones saying ... especially if you are the one saying it. What never ceases to amaze me is your willingness to prove beyond question what an incredibly close minded block head you are. Little booklets are merely primers produced for people with your abysmal level of absorption. Those little booklets will tell the rest of us who are not doctors all we will ever have to know. Sometimes it is all the doctors know too.

He despises facts. Just ask him. He is all bout opinion no matter how errant and uncoroborated it is. Now thats a FACT! The FACT is that these newsgroups are all about opinions and nothing else. It is part of My Greatness that I realize that and part of Tom Sherman's nerdiness that he doesn't. His facts have all been filtered via far left wing crackpotism. They are not even worth reading, let alone responding to. [...] I am planning to die of cardiovascular disease myself. In fact, I will be highly chagrined if cancer gets me first. Or you could suffer a case of terminal pigheadedness. I hear you, but unfortunatel the rest of us suffer because of Ed's terminal pigheadedness.
