It makes no testable predictions! Wah wah wah! I only have a high-school education but I am perfectly suited to critique the most complicated scientific endeavour humanity has ever undertaken! Wah wah!

As someone who is actually studying current supersymmetric string theory, I have to say that it's without a doubt the most beautiful theory ever (with the symplectic formulation of classical mechanics somewhere far behind), and I will be sorely disappointed if it turns out to be false.
I feel a bit like I'm preaching to fish about the wonders of air here. The important thing is to remember that science isn't art. Unless you're proficient in the discipline, your opinion is worth NOTHING. There are reasons things are done the way that they are, and flinging feces at things beyond your comprehension is so passe.
