- Those points I used are real arguments being made today. I don't have exact quotes/links, but they do exist. There are people who believe those 3 items are perfectly correct. I admit item#3 is a bit of an exaggeration, but there is an alleged issue of over-diagnosis of ADD. I'm not saying they're wrong, but just saying to keep in mind that there is a lot of money that would be lost if those 3 things were to be discovered false.
- I called out the USA because this article is about the USA. Also I noted in italics that I wasn't saying it was only USA.
- Indeed, I don't have any alternative. Though I did mention I like the idea of multiple countries doing the study to see if everyone reaches the same conclusion. I'm just saying there is something to be said for a bit of skepticism. We know how long it took for science to decide tobacco was bad for you. It wasn't like they didn't know before, it just took a long time to push past the greed & corruption that kept the data hidden. Just saying to always keep a critical mind with these things. Afterall, this article here is calling out exactly what I'm claiming.
EDIT: And I see my original comment has been upvoted out of the graveyard during my commute to work, so I guess there are people who agree with what I'm trying to say.
Cite proper studies on these things, and don't cherry pick results you like, give me a fair sampling of all research. If the data supports your claim, I'll believe it.
- You just made up article titles to prove your point.
- You call out the USA for no particular reason, because your arguments apply equally to other countries.
- You don't provide any alternative to "science", which according to you is inherently flawed, which makes pretty much any discussion with you pointless.
