Posting endless videos of "pops" classical music and old crooners is not a sign of sophistication—unless by "sophistication" you mean bougie pretension. Nor does having a poor opinion of this off-topic shitposting signify any want of taste.

Christ on a pogo stick, he responds like a kid on a playground. "I dunno, why do YOU suck?" Golden.

Keep poking him, Chuck, I bet there's some quality lulz to be had here...

I do not expect any less scrutiny than anyone else. There is just a misunderstanding regarding the criteria that determines what is true and what isn't. The category you put this in is apologetics, which is absolutely, 100% incorrect.

I want to add that I wrote a children's book that is the direct result of my upbringing. I would love to send you a copy, with a t-shirt, just to show you that I respect physics more than anyone. This book has to with children's safety, which I have had a passion for after having my own children and knowing that we can prevent many of the unnecessary deaths due to ignorance. I do not need or want your address, but if you have a P.O. box, I would really love to give this book as a gift for trying to give Lessans the benefit of the doubt, as best as you knew how. The main character is Mr. See-More Safety. Surprise surprise. :) The animated character was created to help all children to be aware of life threatening risks in their everyday lives. It is hopefully done in good taste and in an entertaining way. But it is very difficult not to let children know the truth about danger, without showing them the situations that could lead to tragedy. This is not to scare children, but to make them accident resistant when they leave their parent's watchful eye. Just wanted to let you know that I'm very much in touch with reality LadyShea. I really don't know what prompted me to share this with you, because I'm sure someone will use my honesty and integrity against me.

Chuck, what is your issue with me? Tell me truthfully? I have no desire to be a martyr. Why do you have me all wrong? :(

Suffering is the lot of all revolutionaries, visionaries, and prophets, peacegirl! Does not the revolution inevitably consume its progenitors?

Lessans is not what he was made out to be Chuck, but from this group I learned an important lesson. I will try to help kids instead of a direct challenge to the scientific establishment. That would be my demise, for sure. If it turns out that he was right later on, so be it. I really really really really have to thank this group because I could have wasted a lot of time when I could have been doing something much more positive, which is to promote See-More, the national character who has come to life to help save lives. I can't thank you enough Chuck. I really hope you will allow me to check in with you at some later date to let you know how See-More's doing. ;)

It's not up to me to "allow" you to do anything. Do whatever the fuck you want, I don't care.

pg I haven't read your thread but seeing as that it's been such a bad experience for you...

No one likes negative reception, but the membership here is just responding to you. If you are bothered by the nature of it, your only choice is to change yourself. Either find a place where people are more like-minded (or maybe less skeptical to your ideas? - which isn't necessarilly a good thing...) or deal with the fact your father's book isn't going to be received here the way you want it to be and move on.

You are just not giving this a chance. I bet if we tested all people with aids, we would find they have all ridden bicycles. Also, if there was more woodpecker in our diets, then our forests would not be under such threat as they are. This is all perfectly logical.

Thank you so much for your input Gonzo. I can tell you are sincere. I have learned a lot from this group as far as what not to do. I actually have nothing against anyone. But I realize my approach is wrong. I am going to work on my safety program, and if I can get national attention, then maybe my father's book will be taken more seriously. I realize that this knowledge is beyond the framework of our present thought, so I would be constantly going upstream, and this isn't good for me. Thanks again, my friend (as a representative for all of those who have spent time in this thread), for helping me to figure out the next best option. :)

peacegirl, do whatever you need to do to deal with your various daddy issues. If that involves spelling Seymour as See-more, do that, whatever, nobody cares. That's not going to make little Timmy's vision efferent when he stares directly at the sun while crossing the road.

If we could not save the rain forests by eating more woodpecker, Vivisectus would definitely say so.

You've misconstrued everything I said, but that's my fault in the way I presented myself. I have no daddy issues Chuck. My father was not a sexual pervert, or a child stalker. I want to help children because of what he taught me, and why wouldn't you care if the knowledge my father passed onto me could help prevent the preventable tragedies that occur every year in the United States, let alone the whole world?

Why wouldn't I care if we could save the rain forests by eating more woodpecker? I would, though! I would eat woodpecker at least once a day. Woodpecker sausages in the morning, woodpecker salad sandwiches for lunch, and a woodpecker stew for dinner. Even if it is a little gamey.

I would too if it would do anything to save the rainforests, but we all know for a fact that this is not the case, and you are attempting to compare teaching children safety practices with something so ridiculous I can't even give a good comeback. Teaching children how to cross the street by an animated character is proven to be effective. In fact, it's proven to be better than a parent teaching a child because children will, most likely, listen to a puppet, or a cartoon character, than a parent. Most (not all) children will tend to ignore a parent's warnings because they have learned to tune it out, which is where See-More Safety's messages play an important role.

Wait until you get the bill for that.

Is the title of the book Strangers Have the Best Candy? Because that would be a really awesome title.
