Homeopathy rage

[Azathoth]

Fraud, plain and simple.

It was. We had to get a prescription filled for YD a couple of days later, so we checked, and the shelf in question had 8-12 different nasal decongestants - one of them was homeopathic, the rest were actual medicine. The homeopathic one had "nasal decongestant" printed on the front in large letters, and the word homeopathy was on the last line of the smallest text on the back of the bottle.

So, it wasn't fraud, it was a failure on your part to RTFL. That's what I thought. Some skeptic you are.

Does it decongest? If it doesn't, then it's a FRAUD. But it's not a communist atheist fraud.

Rinsing your sinuses with water does have a decongestant effect. Magic water is just as effective if a lot more expensive

I've gotten great help from some minimum wage slaves. Some people care because they care, not because they are paid to do so.

Well, it's their fault they're slaves. If they didn't want to be slaves they'd be rich.

Well, therein lies the conundrum. Do we know if the remedy purchased was ever used according to the directions and whether or not relief was obtained? Nope, I don't think so.

Still, reading the fucking label is a requirement when you're buying medicine, if you're not a complete boob.

Precisely. Caveat emptor. RTFL. Adapt or die.

You have too much poo in your ears to understand the adults in the conversation. Go take a bath now, there's a good boy...

Unless you are worried about passing and need every mark, I would just put a big, fat X through the question and write "none of the above: homeopathy is bullshit" underneath. but maybe that's just me...

Personally, I would add:
"Aside from the placebo effect, water is not an effective treatment for anything but dehydration, and sugar pills are not an effective treatment for anything but hypoglycemia."
