You may not like Life's views but it's the most posted-on thread for weeks. 400+ posts so far.

It baffles me when people don't like the thread, or more importantly the poster, the easiest way to get rid of it is to ignore it and let it fizzle to the bottom of the page and no one will bother with it any more. Instead people keep posting about how much they hate it all being there so it stays at the top and gives more opportunity for counter arguments.

Personally, I think Life's views are a bit extreme but who's to say that there isn't a kernal of truth in some of the things he's trying to say and that perhaps, just perhaps, we should listen and weed out the bits that might make sense.

Two things always cross my mind when I hear these stories and I hear people dismissing them without thinking about them

1. Wasn't there a time when the finest scientists in the world thought that the world was flat?
2. Wasn't there a time when smoking was promoted as being healthy?

Just a thought that the scientists could get it wrong and that sometimes, even when they know the facts they choose to hide them from the population.
