Encouraging people to spend money on treatments that are mostly water and at best works because of the placebo effect is not good, even if they encourage you to get proper healthcare first. Homeopathy is a scam. Making money by scamming people who love their pets and want them to get well is not good.

In his case he genuinely believes it, so it isn't a scam. It is nonsense, but scam wouldn't be the right word. Misguided would be a better choice. He appears to have religious believes that are new agey in nature and thinks that this kind of solution can touch a cat's spirit while vets and medicines will take care of the physical side of things.

Your logic is really shaky here and I'm surprised you don't see that. My guess is your affection for this man is coloring your opinion on just how dirtbaggy it is to profit off something that's a scam.

If I genuinely believe that my touch can cure cancer and I go around charging people to cure them of their cancer, it's still a scam and I am an awful, awful person for scamming sick people and potentially keeping them from getting real medical care that they desperately need. I am not "misguided". There's plenty of scientific evidence out there that shows you can't cure cancer by touching people. I'd have to be willfully ignorant not to know this, and I'm incredibly dishonest if I make money off "curing" cancer patients.

no, I mean...you have a point but so does philstar. "Scam" as a term generally implies that you know it's bullshit and you're deliberately banking on people accpeting your bullshit as truth. I don't know what a better term would be to use for people who have questionable beliefs that they sincerely believe driving them to appeal to others who can be convinced to share that belief, but I'm on the side of using scam to mean deliberate malicious bullshit.

That seems like splitting some really fine hairs. I suppose it's possible that JG doesn't know that homeopathy is a scam. Very irresponsible of him to sell a product he hasn't researched, though - and it's very, very easy to find out that homeopathy is just a placebo, if you care to look.

He and his ilk see people like you coming.

/SIGH

[philstar22]

Uh, I don't believe in homeopathy. It is nonsense. I've never bought any of it for myself or my cat. All I said was that he believes in it. Selling it is still bad. He's wrong to sell it because it doesn't work. He's just not lying when he's selling it because he personally believes it. That is all I said. He's stupid to sell it, he's wrong to sell it, he's just not lying.

Honestly, it's worse. She knows that homeopathy is bullshit. She just makes excuses for Jackson profiting off selling snake oil because she really, really likes him and wants to excuse his actions.
