Logic, rational thinking gone...

The History channel is now dead to me. Caught a horrible show on Doomsday 2012. It's filled with horrible 'facts' that are easy to check out and show they are actually crappy theories laid out nutcases. The show doesn't really tell you that though, instead, it opts to call the few scientists they do interview as "skeptics" (said with a very derogatory tone) while presenting ridiculously vague prophecies as very specific historical events.

I have zero respect for the History channel at this point. To present this garbage as fact is terribly disingenuous and fuels massive waste of time and waste of cognitive surplus in conspiracy theorists. Not to mention the time wasted trying to prove all the logical fallacies and flat out wrong facts to these people, who now have a TV show to point to and say, "the History channel said it's true!"
