Scientists Debunked

It's official: Scientists: Soccer Most Exciting Sport.

That officially ends any credibility of the theory of evolution.

Definitely an exciting sport: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4633688.stm

I'm not surprised that Soccer is the most exciting. Those announcers are practically screaming whenever a pass is made...

Tends to get people riled up.

This is a new one. Argumentum ad Pedisphere (argument from football). Are you a parody? I'm tempted to send this up to FSTDT, but I fear the bite of Poe's Law.

I fail to see how articles claiming that young people are stupid in any way opposes the theory of evolution.

Have you ever seen people yell, scream and hit each other over tennis games? (If you answer yes I will weep for humanity. Again.)

This is Poe's law in action, yes?
Because nobody in their right mind would equate sports research with evolution. Unless they were ready, willing and able to throw out all science and go screaming into the oblivion saying "Those computers CANT exist! They were created thanks to science, and all science is bunk! Just look at this soccer link!!!"
Like I said, nobody in their right mind.

Poe's law in action is my conclusion.

I see the sarcasm continues.
This seems to be Riddick's way of saying "You lack reading comprehension", or "You lack the intelligence to pick up on my biting, witty sarcasm in the OP"

if i post that kind of stuff, the mods delete it.

Funny thing; I came here expecting to read something about the evolution/creation debate.

#9: you've made 10 posts per day, every day, since 19-Jan-2005. you are message board guy.

Is this intended to serve as refutation for his assertions?

Ah, but you did

Unless of course, you actually intend to refute my statement of your sarcasm. Please do so, and while you're at it, actually explain your point in your posts that I quoted
Personally, I think you are either exemplifying Poe's law or resorting to sarcasm. And you have yet to prove otherwise

Riddick said:

I assume you are talking to me, since i posted message 9 on this thread.

And yes, perhaps I have averaged 10 posts per day (I guess) on this board since last year.
I like debating. It shows me where Im right, and (more importantly) where Im wrong. I have learned a LOT on these forums and regret only the occassionally nasty posts I have made (which propensity Im trying to overcome)

I post a lot
So what?
There are those who post FAR more than I do. Care to reply with their post counts as well?
Most likely not.

However, the actual POINT of your thread, the actual POINT of your "young people arent intelligent" reply and your actual POINT of your reply (above) is still obfuscated behind FAR too much nothingness

IOW, as far as I see it, your thread has no point, other than what I pointed out in post 9.
Refute me if you will, but please please PLEASE do so by actually EXPLAINING your OP, and not resorting to "Read this apparently unrelated link" garbage

Beastt said:

Nah, he's just trying to tell me that I have no life. My apparent average of 10 posts per day indicates to him that I spend more time than he on these boards, hence far too much time from his POV. His sarcasm continues.

Averaging 10 posts per day seems to equate (in my case at least) to averaging 1-1.5 hours per day (my timed average). And Im okay with that.

But you're right Beastt, he has yet to actually refute post 9

Not soccer but uroSoccr is one of the most ecxiting sports

I think what really hurts the scientists' credibility is that baseball was even tested for excitement.

Unless, of course, they needed to establish a zero point on the scale, and "watching paint dry" was dismissed for being potentially exciting to Sherwin-Williams employees.

There are only 2 real sports: boxing and mountain climbing. Everything else is just a game.

Cars stop dead. Electricity ceases circuiting. Aeroplanes fall from the sky. The earth becomes a flat disk supported by four elephants themselves supported by an infinite number of turtles..
