I think I have a theory as to why

Quote:
“These humans appear to have all the faculties necessary to receive and process information,” Davis Logsdon, one of the scientists who contributed to the study, said. “And yet, somehow, they have developed defenses that, for all intents and purposes, have rendered those faculties totally inactive.”
........Religion!

It doesn't take a scientist to know who sanspeur is attacking. The only ones that I can think of that are truly fact resistant, are left wingers. They absolutely refuse to accept any facts that goes against whatever idealistic religion they currently believe in.

You think you are refuting OP's point, but in fact you are confirming it. Still don't' get it?

Oh I get it. It is just a subtle insult/attack on their opposition. People that don't tow the party line, are conspiracy theorists, ( fact resistors ). Why should those people believe anything from a government that is incapable of telling the truth? I also have a sneaky suspicion it maybe in reference to those people that "deny" a certain thing.

Boys, boys, boys, the article is a satire. Says so right at the the bottom.

Sanspeur is so desperate to find reason to belittle his opponents that he is willing to use even the absurd to prove his bigoted holier than thou conclusions.

Leave us leave him and his flock to continue to make up their science and their psychology in order to prove themselves better than the thinking people with whom they are unable to argue without name calling and condescension and whatever else they use.

No matter how many times the government proves itself untrustworthy, corrupt, and opportunistic .... The liberals demand that we disarm ourselves, weaken our states, faithfully believe whatever the government says, obey them.... It's no surprise that liberals have totally lost their reasoning center... Of course it's satire but it does have an element of truth...
