Having wirtten scientific reports at an undergraduate level for physics, I can tell you ambiguity is strongly penalised in physics, (unless well explained, why there are errors etc). Ambiguity is not evidently an issue in sociology, as the actual published papers that are chock full of it...

Firstly I've already stated I make an exception, with kids and it's ok with me for teachers to discpline students which call other students names. I talking about adults. False dichotomy alert. The police does things deserving of criticims, I'm not claiming we shouldn't have police. Also I'm...

If it turns into a biology experiment, it would be science. Fear and hate can be measured on an MRI scan, that however is biology and not a social science. This isn't a prelimanry step of real science, it's supposedly a field of science in itself to take questionares as evidence.

pedant. I do a skim spellcheck, but rarely proof read anything i post.

There are certain high standards something must meet in order to be proper science. If science is just applying reasoned skepticism, to anything, then all intellectual pursuits are scientific , and it is a redundent term. This study sure doesn't meet the bar. Apperantely that makes me a...

No Limit: The underlying premise of what I'm saying is about the nature of power, the mob has power, power is coersive , anarchism etc.. I don't give a **** about this debate anymore. Yes you did All of cananda probabaly is liberal about gays, like they are liberal about racial...

We're having a PM flame war, where he claims I don't understand science.

Was it proved using your version of science?

They want rid of him due to his speech, is that not a free speeech issue? Did I say we shouldn't from groups, don't think I did. I am for critizing the coersive behaviour of groups. Stern called me gay, I was briging the debate down to his level of understanding. There is this...

So you believe he should have been punish for something he said, if you didn't like them. This is not an issue of crtizing him for saying it, I agreed with that from the start. THis is an issue of he said something, some poelpe find offensive, now move on with your life. a group is more...

well, some gay people might prefer imperialism and corporate welfare, to caring about social issues. however equaility, tolerance and diversity, are generally considered liberal causes.

I have a physics degree. So in summary science is empirical and factual, social 'sciences' are vague and ambiguous.

ARe you trying for the record, for most strawman arguments? gay groups aren't liberals? If you want to be semantic, will call them gay groups, but anyone with half a brain knows they are liberals. They are trying to get hiim suspended from his tv show, as punishment. Enough with the...

To classify something as an electron you only need observe it's properties. Why it has the properties doesn't effect the ability to observe and classify it. The things we don't know don't change the things we can measure. Do you know what science is?

I'm not expecting them to behave a certain way, I'm criticizing them for doing so. In this case it's liberals who are doing it. You'd be agreeing that liberals are infringing on free speech by wanting to stop, this type of comedy

There is such a thing as empirical, an electron has a certain charge, has a certain spin, and has a certain mass at a certain velocity. Those are empirical properties of an electron, and any particle that matches these porperties is classified as an electron. Homophobia, is a vague...

The old two wrongs, make a right argument. Haven't seen that in a while. Shit, you're so closing to getting it, now just replace right with left. What do you mean holding them accounatable , do you want him punished or not. I'm people being told what they can and can't say, you are? When...

Temperature is a measure of kinetic energy. The difference in temperature between two objects can be empirically measured and compared. Homophobia cannot.

I think, we're hitting the crux of our disagreement. I can seperate joking about gays, form actual discrimantion. You can't. There is something wrong with that. A loud mob, shouldn't be allowed to decide what everyone else can and can't see on televsion. As much as I hate Glenn Beck, the...

/facepalm. No it doesn't. Opinions are not empirical, it must be empirical to be science. Temperature is an empirical variable, opinion is not.
