Jessie Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 i was merely trying to demonstrate that in most cases (areas), empirical science knows squat.'squat'?Im not sure the sum total of scientific endeavour= squatMaybe some rate the moon landings, anti biotics, vaccines, nuclear power, air travel, water sanitation etc as trivial matters.But 'squat' is a stretch dont you think?

Resolute Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Actually, resolute is correct here. Pure mathematics is not an empirical study, though I'm not sure what conclusion he was trying to draw from this.my point is that you can count on things like pure math and pure logic 100% of the time, with your eyes closed. empiricism on the other hand, not so reliable.

Jessie Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 "Contemporary mathematical empiricism"However… lets not get into all this shall we? Lets just say antibiotics saved millions of lives, 2+2=4 and when some guy on the nets says a pill or stretching can cure a small penis its BS.

Resolute Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 i'm saying that despite radiation being deadly, and fluoride being toxic, there's plenty of "research" to suggest otherwise.and don't get me started on genetically engineered "food" (gmo).

Jessie Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Well I admit I didn't gain any girth though I was looking more for length and doing exercises aimed at that. Girth is considered much more difficult to gain but there are many men who've claimed they have made gains. Off course there are bullshitters but they can't all be liars.actually they can ALL either be liars or simply mistaken.this is an issue which has been shown in studies time and time again.e.g. thousands of people SWEAR they can tell fortunes or are clairvoyants- they are ALL liars or mistaken.

Jessie Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Jessie, based on your research, what period of a male's development is most critical for his penis and gonadal growth? Intrauterine, toddling, pre-adolescence, adolescence? My hunch is intrauterine, though that's only a hunch.2nd trimester- the causes are complex- too few androgens or androgen resistance.Genetics is heavily implicated but some research suggests feminising environmental hormones or phalates are implicated too.

Resolute Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 To be fair...is there any actual scientific research that demonstrates that fluoride isn't poisonous when consumed? I always thought the notion that it wasn't a baseless factoid.is there any research that claims it's good for teeth? it's not even beneficial to include in toothpaste.

Jessie Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 To be fair...is there any actual scientific research that demonstrates that fluoride isn't poisonous when consumed? I always thought the notion that it wasn't a baseless factoid.its a common topic on conspiracy theory forums- its nonsense.Large amounts of Flourine IS toxic. (this is true of salt, bananas and many other things too!)Small amounts not.In a significant proportion of the population high flouridation rates cause minor flourosisHowever its worth it. for example 10,000 people get a mild condition rather than a million people having a painful, life changing, expensive to fix, tooth decay issue.You might think tooth paste solves the issue it does not- taking out F from the water supply would massively increase human misery- so most sensible governments fluoridate the water.If you really feel strongly then only drink bottled water and brush your teeth in bottled water but my advice is you dont.The issue has been debated by expert panels for decades- their conclusions stack up.Radiation? This is well understood.Random gamma rays disrupt cell nuclei and can cause tumours.Triple beam gamma rays targeted at tumour cells destroy them.This is a fantastic application of science.
