Baloney Detection Kit.

Those that know me won't be surprised to hear I have been busy arguing with anti vaxers lately. I tend to get passionate about things. Anyway in the process of site hopping you come across some wonderfully bright people, and some fantastic links. Here is a great link that helps in some way explain the frustrating phenomenon of those who refuse to believe black and white facts, even when you are slapping their face with them. Metaphorically speaking of course. Anyway enjoy.

  1. My classes enjoy this video; I show it on the first day to my developmental writing courses. The comp classes get the longer and just as great Here be Dragons by Brian Dunning. If you haven't seen that, it's well worth watching. It's on my 1301 and 1302 blogs. :-)

  3. Everyone in the world should be forced to memorise this whole video before opening their mouths about anything (Sorry, did that come out a bit too strong?!)
