You see the problem is that plenty of research supports her claims. You didn't offer anything that contradicts her claims. And btw I don't need the lectures on how science works.

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/266258.php

If you consider a conversation to be a "lecture", then why do you want to continue a conversation with someone who you consider to be lecturing you?

You seem to want us to do all your work for you, to trawl through links you post here, either for wiki or other links, and then looking for whatever it is you consider to be evidence, and then to discuss that.

If you want to make a claim, and show us your evidence, then do that. But I don't have time to do that for you from the links you produce.

meeeeh · 15-01-2014 4:44pm

Well mister you said her claims were myth without offering any substance.

I posted a link which disproves your claims about health expectancy.

I posted links which disprove your claims about olive oil health benefits being a myth.

All you managed was a review of an add for margerine and an 'explanation' (note the lack of word 'lecture') on how science works. Seriously?

Boroso · 15-01-2014 7:06pm

If you want to make a claim, and show us your evidence, then do that. But I don't have time to do that for you from wading through the links you produce.

Then don't call people halfwits if you can't support your claims.

Anyway I prefer arguing with people who can offer some substance so I am out.

Ironically, as everyone reading this can see, I have been asking you to produce some substance for your claims in the last few posts, and it's a mystery why you haven't done that.

I dare say that Lord Xenu will be unavailable for comment.

This "Church" was invented by a science fiction writer, some of its beliefs are some of the most outlandish stuff I've ever heard. It makes the bible look like a news bulletin.

"Some" of the beliefs ?

She said she was involved with drugs since she was 13 before Scientology came along to save her, so how did she managed to study and get into Queens University ?

spank_inferno · 17-01-2014 12:38pm

Will pat ask about the alien spirits captured by Xenu and put into volcanoes & blown up by H-bombs?

Please Pat... please!

Yakuza · 17-01-2014 12:40pm

"Scientology believes Man to be basically good, not evil" - a direct quote from its website. That's fair enough (if fairly self-evident).
It's the whackjob stuff about the Xenu incident / thetans etc. which is off the wall. Check out http://www.xenu.net/archive/infopack/6.htm (A site debunking this "Church").

Edit - he's starting to get stuck into her, she's on the back foot now. Gwaaan PK!!!

None of the usual rhetoric from him. even slagged off some coverage saying theres no proof for the allegations.

not like him at all IMO.

I had assumed that when we wrote here it was out opinions we were giving, and not the opinions of others.

If you don't say "IMO" at the end of a post, are we to assume that particular post may not be your opinion?

No, they're worse than that. They're a couple of lying hypocrites.

I was actually listening to The Pat Kenny Show, not The Pat Rabbitte Show.

You might want to take a look at this clip. It effectively proves that Pat Rabbitte is a lying hypocrite. He can sue me if he wants to. I doubt he'll get very far though.

Winston Churchill said he had lied many times on behalf of his country, and would continue to do so for as long as it was necessary.

It seems touching you are surprised on finding out others are hypocrites, and politicians are liars, and if you are really surprised that others are hypocrites and liars, then you have a lifetime of surprises ahead of you.

Is Newstalk deliberately putting just "soft" topics on the podcasts and restricting what goes up there, or is the show like that in totality? I don't get a chance to listen to show live, this is what popped up in my podcatcher from today:

Science: Why do we sleep? (14:20)

At the same time my Today SOR feed updated, I got 8 podcasts, dealing with penalty points, the jobbridge scheme, banking, public accounts committee, etc.

I get that they want people to listen to the shows (and the ads that play on the show), but I've found myself going weeks between having a podcast from Kenny that strikes me as remotely interesting.

Bloody Bono, the economic expert, on the line from Davos. Everytime I heard 'Bono' on the radio I think it's just an impersonator.

Harry Angstrom · 24-01-2014 11:13am

Bono trying to drum up business for Ireland whilst at the same time using Dutch loopholes to avoid paying tax here. Complete and utter hypocrite.

Yes, i was tuned in and as soon as PK announced "Bono is on the line" I hit the off button. I dont know Bono, but have no wish to hear the views on world economics from an aging pop star. Next it will be Kylie Minogue on global Warming.

Is your argument that only those who arrange their tax affairs to maximise the amount of tax they pay can have any opinions about the world?

It's not hypocrisy to minimise ones tax affairs and preach to others, which seems to suggest you are not aware of the definition of hypocrisy.

In any case, the world is full of genuine hypocrisy, and as adults that is something we should come to terms with, rather than expressing schadenfreude every time we stumble across it.

Mr Pseudonym · 24-01-2014 11:54am

Bono does pay tax - he just minimises it.

I turned off the radio so didn't have to sit through it. Why PK thinks Bono, a fading pop star with a hunger for self promotion, has anything to tell us about world affairs or economics is a mystery.

Then ya missed a brilliant interview with that woman who won her court case in europe today.

best bit of kenny ive heard in an age.

Dún Laoighaire is beginning to become as synonymous with Pat's show as Clontarf is with Liveline or Cork on The Right Hook.

I wasn't listening that carefully but I didn't find this. They were warning about the high prices in Dublin for instance. Is any piece about house buying to be deemed "bigging up the property market"?

constitutionus · 29-01-2014 4:31pm

it DID seem a bit pimpy to me and it doesnt help that it'd help pats employer BIG TIME to see an upkick in property advertising.

but not as bad as some of the stuff ive heard on RTE recently. i guess everyones a bit sensitve on the subject considering the pure SHILLING that went on during the boom. the S/INDO are actually back at it again.

by way had a brain fart during the week, that interview i was on about was on jonothon healys segment right after pat.

LordSutch · 29-01-2014 6:06pm

I've always hated the way he proclaimes to be an expert on each and every topic. Bring in a guset on micro biology, osteopothy, brain surgery, moon rocks, or even the surface of Mars, and you can be sure Pat will keep interupting his expert guest (to give his analysis of the topic), usually just as the guest is about to say something fascinating, and then Pat takes over and carries on as if he himself is the expert on the topic, drives me bloody mad...

Michael Parkinson once said, the art of a true interviewer is to pose a well thought out question for the guest, and and let the him/her run with it (without interruption). Pat please take note.

I also wish Pat would stop declaring that his guests are 'In Studio'. Such a mind numblinly obvious term is just, well annoying at this stage, we know that you and the guest is in the Studio Pat, no need to keep telling us, lest we might think you're conducting the interview in the carpark, not.
