So, would ciscop describe himself as an oil shill?



Sketpic pharm shills don't want people having alternative medicine because they have doubts about it.

Skeptic oil shills don't want people having alternative energy because they have doubts about it.

No wonder Michael Shermer looks and acts so oily, waiting to get greased.

Skeptics are like the old guy drivers who slow everyone down, clogging the wheels of progress.

Kids today, with their pscyhic powers, clean energy and safe medicine. Back in my day, we'd brush our teeth with petroleum and then eat a bowl of coal tar ... and we'd like it, dagnabbit!

i am all for alternative energy sources :-D

i dont think there´s such thing as a psychic
if so, i would like to see one
i have been terrible dissapointed so far
i have seen more than 10 so far,
that isnt scientific, just my personal experience

and i dont care about oil companies in particular
i do care about scam artists robbing people, that´s not cool
no matter if you are an oil company, a jew banker or oprah
stealing isnt ok in my book

People who experience the paranormal don't care if you don't believe them. And they're not interested in proving stuff to chronic doubt queens. They just want to be left alone from crazy stalker skeptics.

It's a matter of character. Most skeptics are on the shady side of the street.

Would you buy a used car from Penn Gillette? NO! You would never buy anything from Penn Gillette except a ticket to his show. And don't shake his hand or invite him over for dinner. Not a good idea.

And James Randi is like the gay stalker from hell; He'd track Uri Geller down to the ends of the earth. Any why? Just because Uri is a better performer?

randi is a critical thinker
lover of rationalism and truth

uri geller is a scam artist
that supports psychic stuff because is part of his act
only dummies dont seem to notice it

Yes well Randi is a Jew and Uri is a Jew.

Randi's beef about Geller is the younger Jewish man outshone the Old Jewish man.

Put simply..... Randi went from Frontstage to Backstage...... Randi really needs to examine his inner thoughts.
Randi was no researcher of the paranormal even though he tried half heartedly.... Shows over.

James Randi is jewish? I thought he was a robot. Maybe one of those spooky antique Santa Claus automatons.

So there's no way of proving everthing what Uri done was trickery.

What about the Science Lab tests....... Randi and Co were not there to witness..

lets add to the score

What about Randi at TIME MAGAZINE, he was there incognito and reproduced successfully all the parlor tricks URI geller did, debunking geller for the first time.

Randi 1
Uri 0

What about Randi talking with TONIGHT show producers telling them how they could prevent trickery from gelller?.. Geller went into the studio and failed miserably

Randi 2
Uri 0

What about a Book Randi Made about geller? putting in jeopardy the reputation of this ¨psychic¨ telling all his secrets?

Randi 3
Uri 0

What about Randi winning in the law curts, since Geller couldnt prove he has psychic powers?

Randi 4
Uri 0


That´s a beating!

James Randi began with the theory that Uri Geller was using altered spoons in his performance. He achieved some validation for his theory on the Carson show. But in 40 years since, Randi has yet to provide evidence that Geller is using altered spoons. Nor has he credibly replicated Geller's feat.

What's the explanation for Randi's inability to follow up with proof? To do real science?
