What The Fuck Is Woo Goddammit

[NCTraveler]

36. I think woo is a general term used to belittle people whith whome one disagrees....

while making sure a debate never occurs. Where a person thinks the others thoughts or opinions are so far out there that it is stupid and not even worth debate. The only true and consistent woo at du is religion. I say that as an agnostic who believes in a higher power, I just don't claim to know what it is. Many would say that is woo. The fact is I can't show them something physical or based in science to back up my thoughts on it so maybe it is woo. I think that is the homerun subject for those wanting to belittle others with the woo term.

Other things I have heard here that are woo because they cannot be backed up: Marijuana can cure some forms of cancer. 911 was an inside job. Contrails(such woo some members have been banned over it). The anti-vaccine crowd.

Most of these are very small faction. So small it is really insignificant. Religion on the other hand is enormous worldwide.
