I'm definately speculating. I just have a hard time believing there are that many morons on one forum.
Thanks. I refrained from calling you any names, great work.

Me run for office? Surely you can't be serious.
It's much more rewarding to toil behind the scenes and try to work on getting those elected who actually want to work for the gubmint.
I would if he played anywhere around here, but I just read some of his stuff on prisonplanet from time to time.
For example:
Believe it or not, back in Baltimore, I did this long-term study that required my presence at 4AM, so I'd drag myself out of bed at 2:30 AM and I listened to George Noory every morning for the entire six months.
I mean, I'm not close-minded, and George seems like a nice enough guy, but he went on and on about little filaments in the air, government conspiracies, numerology, psychics, alien children among us and all kinds of bizarre topics. So, with George Noory, as with Alex Jones, when they do say something that I think might have basis in provable truth--I have to do more research because it's become "conspiracy theorized" automatically because of the initial source.
So when George says something about a government conspiracy, what's his source? A psychic? A tea leaf reading? Alex Jones is like a lighter version of that--he's in too deep, his career depends on conspiracy theories, just like O'Reilly's depends on toeing the neocon line. I don't believe things O'Reilly says without doing research, same goes for Alex Jones.
End of ramblings. . .
As always, Cowlesy shows up as the voice of reason. I second Amy's proposition that you run for office.
Nope. We're serious. Or at least I am. I can't speak for anyone else.
Besides, they say the only men who deserve power are those who do not want it.

So what is the definatiion of an idiot?
Awwwww....did I hurt your feelings Amy? Are you feeling victimized? Poor thing. So what is the definatiion of an idiot? Might it be someone without a scintilla of smarts?
I think that anyone with a scintilla of smarts............
Well look through the posts for god's sake and you'll be able to tell (notice I said that you will be able to tell, not that you aren't smart enough to realize it.) Big difference.
No, you didn't hurt my feelings, it's just bad form.
Exactly. Don't take anybody's word for it. I did the same thing, checked sources, checked facts and found out that, jeez, most of it was true.
I hope I'm not coming off as pushy.![]()
What I don't like is having stuff shoved down my throat
What I will admit, is that I rarely spend any time researching government conspiracies, 9/11 or anything like that.
Not at all. I like many of the things you post. I mean, the assumption is that I automatically don't like the truthers on this board just for being truthers and that's just not true. I like flames2dust, you, and many others who would say that they're truthers. My best friend is a bit of a truther. What I don't like is having stuff shoved down my throat--and my perception of you is that you share information, you generally don't call people idiots, trolls, government agents, whatever if they don't fall in step with you 100%.
I found that was the case with several of the more rabid truthers here and it's obviously a turn-off. Especially when that person is also only a one-issue person and they post over and over and over again about the same thing--it's like missionarying, trying to convert someone to a religion.
What I will admit, is that I rarely spend any time researching government conspiracies, 9/11 or anything like that. My focus is more on getting a better, more transparent, fiscally conservative government. This other stuff (distrust of government, scandalous behavior, 9/11, economic collapse, etc) is a symptom of bad government, I like to think that I'm more focused on the source of those issues. Perhaps I'm wrong.
Well thanks, and the same in return, I haven't found you running around calling us idiots and telling us to "get out" of the campaign or movement.
And I wouldn't say you're wrong, I want the same things as well, honest, open constitutional government. But here is the problem: too many people think that we have just that, "good government", and until we shift them out of that mindset, the radical changes that must take place if our freedom and nation is to survive, won't.
So I've found that convincing people of government duplicity in the events of 9/11 goes a long way into convincing them that something is rotten in Washington.
Glad you two are hitting it off. Maybe she could follow you around for awhile instead of me![]()
How exactly does one shove something down one's throat on a message board? You don't like the subjects then don't click on the links.
Why are you compelled to make "ignorant" remarks on them then? You got a crush on Yongrel or something and just like to follow him around and make smart ass remarks because you think it's "cool" or something?

The two words I left out (my own fault) is that I "no longer" research the conspiracy stuff, all that stuff is on the back-burner for me.
I often don't click on the links, but you know what? This is my movement too and I have opinions, they differ from yours, but they are valid. If I were to interject my own #1 agenda into everything (ending the war) and managed to turn every single post into something about the Iraq war, in your threads about 9/11 truth, the state of the economy, abortion or whatever--that is shoving something down your throat. There are plenty guilty of that.
Um yeah. Your "spinning" again Amy.
Are you saying I turn everything into the 9/11 truth? I talk about a large variety of topics. 9/11 is far from the only thing on my mind. I've posted 4 pages of threads since August last year. How many of those threads are about 9/11? Like you....getting out of the Iraq war and not expanding to Iran is top of my list right now.
