I think I'm going to right a troofer book...
That has to be the only reason some cracks post this stuff all the time, moon-landings, 911, magic bullet theory...

so, 330,000,000 Americans right. Let's say 1% of them believe or are easily duped by this shit. So, that gives us 3,300,000 folks waiting for the bait. Let's say I sell to the 5% of those folks who aren't scared to make a payment online :rofl: . That gives me 165,000 buyers...I'll make it cheap like 20 bucks and that gives me my 3.3 million :)


Easy money :evilgrin:

1. You would make more writing an anti-truther book
Myths such as: there are WMDs in Iraq, the earth is only 6,000 years old, Obama is a citizen of Indonesia, the CIA does nothing but promote peace and democracy throughout the world, the US does not torture, the US gov't has never been involved in a political assassination or overthrowing democratically elected governments, etc.

lots of idiots in this country are easily duped.

6. So, if we "skeptics "are the "anti-truthers"...
do you believe that we buy any of that nonsense you posted? The WMD in Iraq,"young earth", etc. bullshit isn't something any "skeptic" I know embraces. They reject every single belief you listed there.

2. probably not that many buy the magic bullet theory


Q: In the days after Kennedy's death, how many people believed there was a conspiracy behind the assassination?
A: A November 1963 Gallup poll found that 52 percent of people polled believed there was a conspiracy behind the assassination of President Kennedy.

Q: How many people today believe there was a conspiracy behind the assassination?
A: Today 70 percent of Americans believe there was a conspiracy behind the assassination of President Kennedy.

4. Sure 50 years of nonstop endlessly leaking government complicity..
In illegal nefarious activities of one kind or the other is no reason to want a independent investigation of 911.
People would have to be stupid to think they would try to cover up things to cover their asses.

EMOTICONS= The sign of a great intellect

5. ROFL...
I love it when a poster criticizes the "intellect" of another poster, by writing a semi-intelligible post with multiple grammatical errors.

Sometimes emoticons are oh so appropriate. :rofl:

8. Yeah, because of stupid Movies like "JFK"...
which was riddled with errors. If you position JFK and Connally incorrectly in the limo to begin with, then add the complete mischaracterization of the bullet's path and mix in the "back and to the left" mantra, even though JFK's head initially snapped forward, it's no wonder many have been conned into believing a nonsensical conspiracy theory.

12. There's an easier way to do it....
find a "truther". Ask them for 2 twenties for a ten. Keep doing it until you reach your target.

13. It's just as deluded to think there are no conspiracies
as it is to think everything is a conspiracy.

16. How does that equate to "no conspiracies"?
Edited on Thu Jul-23-09 07:53 PM by SDuderstadt
I swear, half these arguments are caused by your poor reading comprehension.

18. From the OP...
"moon-landings, 911, magic bullet theory". I don't know why that's so hard to comprehend.

23. Read what I said....
Since I didn't write the OP, I don't know why you think I am responsible for it. I said that I don't know of any skeptics that deny there are conspiracies.

the misspelling is on purpose. It's part of the joke.

By the way, we haven't seen you lately. Are you doing okay, buddy? You had me worried. Let us know what we can do to help. Hope your pain issue is under control.

25. D'oh!
I think my sarcasm/satire meter needs an adjustment..

I've been pretty busy here lately. We just had to move my aunt & uncle up here. They're both disabled, and we found out they were being abused and ripped off by their caretaker.

I'm still waiting for August 4th to start a pain management program (finally, after 6 years). Until then, I just take things one day at a time and deal with it the best I can. Thanks for asking, my friend...




Peace,

Ghost

26. Anything at all we can do...
you need only let us know, buddy.

P.S. Would you consider opening up your PM's so I/we could check on you from time to time? If you don't want to, I totally understand. If you don't, please make an effort to keep us informed on how you're doing.

27. Thanks dude...
I appreciate the kindness, and the offer, but I'll make it through this somehow... I always do. I'm one of the first ones to offer help to anyone, or to ask others to help someone else, but find it very difficult to ask for, or accept, help for myself. It's just the way I've always been. I still haven't figured out if its pride, stubborness or something else, but I know I can always depend on myself when I'm backed up against the wall.

My PM's should be open. I've never blocked, or ignored, anyone here. If they aren't open, let me know in this thread and I'll check into it and see what the problem is.


Peace,

Ghost

31. I just tried to PM you and got the same thing...
I checked my preferences and it's set up to receive PM's...

Maybe Lithos or Undergroundrailroad blocked us from pm'ing each other? :shrug:

Other than that thought, I really don't know what the problem is...
