By definition if it's a pseudoscience, it applies to nothing.

By definition if it's a pseudoscience, it applies to nothing.

Also by definition, it *appears* to make sense. Just like atomism.

Physiognomy is real insofar that there really are happy faces and angry faces, but it's false when it assumes a necessary connection between a "happy face" and happiness, between an "angry face" and anger.

That was Pseudo-Science , not Mumbo jumbo

there are many sciences that are just Pseudo-Science .
but it is applicable ..

in example , Freudians Mind concept .
Das Es , Das Ich , Das uber ich .

is there any evidence if in our Mind there are  Das Es , Das Ich , Das uber ich ?
Nope ..
because that are just Hypotesis .

is it applicable ?
yes ...

Sigmund Freud Living  with that stuffs .

I suppose I could throw this "science" for an interesting loop.

I never smile. Ever. So, by definition, I never have a "happy" face. But, I do have happy times on occasion.

There are people with permanent scowls--- but they're not always angry. People who smile a lot are not always happy. So--- this science may want some 'splainin'.

Is it sure that he was her boyfriend?

Looks to me as if she could only be her own boyfriend--which is possible these days.  Does anybody really have teeth like that--other than maybe zombies or a bad meth habit?  :knight:  :cheers:

Are you sure? I've been here 60 years, and not once has anybody taken a shot at me. Of course there's always a first time, but it hasn't happened yet and I've been in some pretty rough neighborhoods.

Check your propaganda.

Wouldn't it be nice, if Customs did that for all visitors? (We're perhaps soon to see some or other arm of the federal police do such for natives and residents… So, why not? :) ) Lord knows, the government can be trusted to be neutral, no matter the party in executive power!

Interesting odd stance by the Chicago manon my comment about the bottle or a protective vest. Considering it is one of the most violent places on earth, is gun daft shoot dead a 5 figure number annually, so many cowboy police shoot unarmed people, 2.3 million in jails a horrible and inhuman death penalty stuff. One does not need to conjure propaganda it is a stark fact of life Illinois man! The country was still doing public hangings into the 1930's. Yea a wonder land that is propaganda free.  :doh:  :devil:
