Talk about throwing crap in the air!!!...

[healthmyths]

Your tax dollars at work under the Obama administration LITERALLY involves monkeys throwing their crap around!
Truly amazing that people are STILL paying TAXES after literally CRAPPY expenditures like this:

A stunning amount spent on stupid studies like Why do chimps throw their poop? – Almost $600,000 of your tax dollars was sent to the folks who studied chimpanzee poop tossing, plus $198,195 paid to find out if “tweeting” makes people happy… It’s all HERE.

Feces -Throwing Reveals Communication Skills in Chimps – (GA) $592,527
Chimpanzees will often throw food or feces at passersby.
Taxpayers have funded a study to figure out the origins of this odd behavior.
William Hopkins, at Agnes Scott College, and researchers at the Yerkes National Primate
Research Center (associated with Emory University) used a portion of the $600,000 from the National Institutes of Health in 2011 to assist their study of throwing behavior in chimpanzees and its neurological origins.

Chimpanzees are one of very few organisms that can throw objects, which zoo visitors can often observe. For example, one of the investigators‘ research papers says,
―Some of the chimpanzees will pile faeces or wet chow in their cage and wait for
visitors to pass by before throwing this at them.

how is the president responsible for the bridge to nowhere in alaska, shill?

the president has no line-item veto and has to sign bills that come through unless he wants to kill the entire bill.

you have issues...blame your teatards.

But you don't see the president talk about government waste, it's just spend, spend, spend.

Obama was just trying to create a shovel ready job. Someone had to clean the poop up you know.

 

[ladyliberal]

Even if I agreed with Tom Coburn on other issues, these anti-science screeds would really irritate me (the report itself, decorated with eye-catching clip art and gross distortions, is also taxpayer-funded).

The researchers didn't spend $600,000 on chimps throwing feces. They spent "a portion" on studying that phenomenon. That means somewhere between $600,000 and $0. And for the record, the study wasn't literally about monkeys throwing feces-- it was literally about apes throwing feces.

This reminds me of the Golden Fleece award that involved studies of how huskies could go from warm climates to the cold of Alaska, and adapt their metabolism in a matter of a day or so. The Senator objecting to the study talked about scientists sticking thermometers up the butts of dogs. Only when another Senator pointed out that the studies intent was to find a way to adapt our soldiers metabolisms quickly to an Arctic climate in case a war forced us to put a large force in the Arcitic in a hurry did Senator Proxmire have to retract some of what he had said.

You can take any scientific study, and find some way to make it seem silly. What is silly, is someone posting anti-science idiocy on the internet. And not even capable of realizing the irony of that.

science bad! Especially if it involves studying why chimps throw feces...because then we might better understand conservatarians.

 

[Old Rocks]

LOL. Might have a point there.

You are perfectly illustrating the adage "making a silk purse out of a sow's ear"!

There is ABSOLUTELY no scientific "value" in studying monkeys throwing their feces!
Seriously! How about this for a "valid" study..
Why do some people when confronted with simple explanations continue to justify their
ignorance by NOT admitting the stupidity of their position?

There is NONE NADA, Zilch value added to this and many more studies all for the purpose of spending the budget because if you don't yo won't get any more funding!

Totally and irrevocably stupid statement on your part!

how did you arrive at that conclusion?

 

[healthmyths]

Some one of you defending these stupid expenditures.. PLEASE tell me with millions of Americans on food stamps, collecting unemployment.. HOW is this WASTE of tax money justified?

Over $300,000 in U.S. taxpayer money paid for an initiative called Summer Institutes for
European Student Leaders. This funding allows high school and college students from
Denmark, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom to come to the U.S. at U.S. taxpayer
expense to learn about civic activism and environmental leadership at American colleges.

yep just proves Darwin correct.
Cons did evolve from monkees.

 

[healthmyths]

WHY is this important to spend nearly $200,000 of hard earned tax money for:

"Do social media programs such as Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace make you happy? Two
researchers were awarded a hefty sum of taxpayer dollars to find out.
University of California-Riverside received a $198,000 federal grant in 2011 from the National Science
Foundation (NSF) to study ―motivations, expectations and goal pursuit in social media.

 

[Listening]

But you don't see the president talk about government waste, it's just spend, spend, spend.

Is this what he meant by "spreading it around" ?

Tell it like it really is.

All that global warming money to be spread around ! No wonder scientists believe it is true.

It keeps them in business !

how did you arrive at that conclusion?

It IS up to you to prove the value not me! I'm looking at it from an Occam's razor point of view, i.e. the fewest assumptions being:
A) there are no sport records for shit throwing.
B) These are animals playing with their feces... much like babies sometimes do.
therefore the fewest assumptions conclusion is there is NO value!
Especially when almost $200,000 would NOT have to be spent!

Oh, I see. I should have known that science means nothing to you. It's hard, it takes thinking, so conservatarians hate it. But once they figure it out we'll be able to understand Newt Gingrich much better.

 

[healthmyths]

YOU call measuring the distance a monkey throws shit "SCIENCE"????

Of course you would!

I bet you are like these idiots in Hans Christian Anderson's "The Emperor's New Clothes,..
Everyone said, loud enough for the others to hear: "Look at the Emperor's new clothes. They're beautiful!"

"What a marvellous train!"

"And the colors! The colors of that beautiful fabric! I have never seen anything like it in my life!" They all tried to conceal their disappointment at not being able to see the clothes, and since nobody was willing to admit his own stupidity and incompetence, they all behaved as the two scoundrels had predicted.

A child, however, who had no important job and could only see things as his eyes showed them to him, went up to the carriage.

"The Emperor is naked," he said.

"Fool!" his father reprimanded, running after him. "Don't talk nonsense!" He grabbed his child and took him away. But the boy's remark, which had been heard by the bystanders, was repeated over and over again until everyone cried:

"The boy is right! The Emperor is naked! It's true!"

The Emperor's New Clothes

Obama is a sham and those you that still insist Obama is a "God" are becoming fewer in number.
You and the other Obamatron supporters are truly like Navin (Steve Martin in "The Jerk")

DAD---"You see that?"
NAVIN-"Yeah. "
DAD---"That's shit. And this is Shinola. "
NAVIN-"Shit... Shinola."
DAD---"Son, you're gonna be alright."

UNLIKE Navin.. YOU and the other Obamatrons don't KNOW the difference!!!
