Ebola Conspiracy Lunatics and Psuedo-Science

I'm getting pretty sick of this kind of thing: http://www.spiritscienceandmetaphysics.com/ebo-lie-man-living-in-ghana-confirms-ebola-is-a-hoax/

How do these idiots become so confident in their complete lack of basic science knowledge?

That whole website is a rage inducing but this post and the other he has made recently have made me almost apoplectic. I've never been this angry about pseudoscience before. I can usually laugh, then explain if necessary how and why it's wrong, in an understanding and friendly manner. But this? It's made me want to be violent.

Is there something wrong with me or is this just expected? How do you all cope with the rage fits brought on by these new age hippy arseholes?

Sorry for the rant.

Would love to hear your opinions on this insanity.

Thanks.

Dude - chill out. It's the internet. Just some stupid article on a no name site. Stupid has existed in this world since the dawn of time - it's not going anywhere any time soon. Don't waste your time and energy throwing yourself into fits of rage over someone else's web site.

It's a no name site for sure, but I've seen a couple of my friends share this article on FB. Pretty sure they stumbled upon it via some hippy-ass re-post page. These are the same people who post articles claiming that weed can cure every disease.

Yeah that's where I came across it. Was posted on a friends wall who is into all this new age hippy idiocy.

I think that's why it irritated me so much, the fact I actually saw someone being a tit about it.

I like how they don't even try and give the "Man Living In Ghana" some credibility. They just go:

A statement made by a man in Ghana named Nana Kwame has rocked the internet in the last few days.

Normally, they would try harder, you know, maybe give that guy a title like "Professor" or "Doctor". But this is just a half-assed attempt at a conspiracy theory.

Well, channel that frustration into something positive. I have the same thing happen to me when I watch the news. I usually channel the frustration into a workout. Then I'm informed and a little healthier!

Ghana has no cases of Ebola.

That is correct. In the current outbreak, Ghana has reported no cases of EVD up to now.

The upside to articles like that is that the site name does a great job of letting rational people know that whoever posts from it is a gullible moron.

I wonder if the panic the media has caused in the US counts as an ebola hoax.
