They know that what they're doing is bunk and must rationalize away their errors/misses, etc. Try justifying garbage and see how you do ;)</p>Terragen commented on 'Opportunity Missed'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451df0c69e200d83469a63553ef2006-01-06T22:43:16Z2007-08-17T02:38:29ZTerragenRETARDED CHARLATAN: "You can't prove air" Then whats all that hot stuff you keep blowing out your mouth?

<p>Larry's show likely paid for Syl's airplane ride, all that unprovable air holding the plane up. And as soon as she was on the ground, she lit up, let her diaphragm drop and all that unprovable air rushed in, pulling her chosen smoke into her spotty lungs. This is the woman who likes to warn James Randi about his health. </p>
<p>Sylvia thinks a clot is a bleed and insists bilirubin is an enzyme: </p>
<p>BROWNE: Oh yes it is.</p>
<p>FARHA: It is a degradation product of human hemoglobin.</p>
<p>BROWNE: Oh yes it is, yes it is. </p>
<p>And when Farha points out the danger of her pretend medical yammering, she basically calls him a pathetic miserable hateful SOB. Psychic Psylvia's psticks and pstones.</p>
<p>FARHA: She is disseminating inaccurate information.</p>
<p>BROWNE: I'm sure that he hates (inaudible) too, because apparently he hates everybody.<br />
....What a miserable life you must have.</p>Spacefluffer commented on 'Opportunity Missed'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451df0c69e200d8349e42b069e22006-01-03T14:46:22Z2007-08-17T01:20:00ZSpaceflufferNice review.
