RE: Debating the Fools
Its very true I love having debates with ppl like college professors — robotech master
I had a similar opportunity with a PC government official in the presence of a university rep, a community college rep, both school board presidents and a host of other representatives at a community-government oversight commission last Thursday.
This particular person was spouting off how anyone who comes to the table about Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Programs (APPP) has to have scientific evidence to back up their claims. The discussion was about which programs work best, including their most hated form Abstinence.
Oddly enough, during the Q&A period after the initial presentation, it came out that they have no statistics of their own favored programs efficacy. That’s when I jumped in with both feet.
All this woman is doing is ‘it makes me feel good’ stuff without any idea as to whether or not it works. And she’s taking HER ‘cut’ of all that money passing through her hands. And yet she insists that everyone else MUST provide scientific data as to their programs’ effectiveness.
Talk about latter day Pharisees…..
The various educational institution reps, who had jumped on me when I challenged an anecdotal report from another party about abstinence, were VERY quiet when it came to the presenter’s lack of any data.
