it is not uncommon for theists to accuse rational people on this forum of "scientism".. in my opinion it is nothing but a cheap shot from those who know they lack evidence for their beliefs.
if something like "scientism" actually does exist then i have never encountered it.. here is part of an exchange from another thread - i have brought it here as it was off-topic.... scientism = claim of scientific method being universal and the only valid method of knowledge.
followers of scientism always demand scientific evidence to anything.
I just pity the poor bastards who lived in the periods of time when Drs didn't know shit. Thankyou to all those guinea pig patients and mentally ill people and soldiers and gay people who were subjected to medicinal "torture" in the name of advancing knowledge.
It's called progress.
In a hundred years we'll be viewed as primitive and our current medical techniques will be looked back at with disdain.
welcome to canada from one immigrant to another !.
calgary is welcoming it's first refugees from syria and iraq so tomorrow i'm going to take all the winter clothing that we have and donate it to a women / children's charity.
it's not much (well, actually, it's a huge pile ... everything from when we first moved over!
After World War Two, there were agreements made between nations to avoid refugee problems exactly like we're seeing today. Unfortunately, they're being ignored. If the refugees could be taken in by all counties proportional to their populations, we wouldn't have the overwhelming numbers in Germany and other welcoming countries.
I'm not sure if it's militarily feasible or that the political will is there to put troops on the ground but my thoughts would go along the route of creating a safe haven within Syria near the Turkish border - with a multinational force under a UN header.
Similar concept to the Balkans in the 90s.
mrs phizzy and myself will be eating out, sure in the knowledge we will not have jw's using the same restaurant.. i may have a cigar along with my brandy at the meal's end to celebrate my (our) freedom..
I know what I won't be doing :D
you make a topic with the entire title and post in capitals !!!.
what you think happens: lots of people will read your many important words of much importance.
what actually happens: the forum admin deletes it.. tip: don't post in all caps, it looks spammy and spammy gets deleted..
Can we have the same rules for people who use rogue apostrophes in thread titles as well please? :D

in january i quit a job of 22 years to work at a shop that does screw attachments.

Generally speaking, it's a bad idea to go back to old jobs. You tend to find that the move back will diminish the respect you're held in and your position will be weaker.
pesident trump authorized the missile strike because “it is in the vital, national security interest of the united states to prevent and deter the use of deadly chemical weapons.” .
59 tomahawk missiles were launched from two us navy ships.. russia has condemned the action.. https://youtu.be/4svp3yfneyq.

More on topic, it seems that (a) Syrians are psychic or (b) someone tipped them off. I wonder how that could have happened..
I have no problem with them evacuating personnel - however they would have found it tricky to take the runways and control towers with them.

So people criticizing a blood thirsty death cult are more radical than people in said blood thirsty cult?... That is the stupidest f-cking thing I've heard in ages. Congratulations.
You'd better hope it's not a death cult cos there's over a billion people in it.

Well, i guess that makes Obama a more strategic thinker than you or trump then doesn't it.
FWIW - Obama chose to have a narrow strategic focus in Syria. Nothing to do with cowardice and everything to do with realising how quickly things could escalate there. Something we may be about to find out. Although thankfully I think Putin may have enough sense not to let it.

Mass random killings in the streets of European cities is the new norm.
Look on the bright side, we've still a long way to go until we get as many mass random killings as the US.
