. "I hate to sound like my dad here, but you'll be saying the same things I'm saying to you to someone else somewhere down the road. You can't stay in denial while making false assumptions of others your whole life. It is never healthy to judge others when you yourself cannot relate." FYI, when debating, it is never good to try and make things personal. It usually means you are running out of things to say or arguments. You seem like a bright kid.. unfortunately you were not ready to see the world for what it really is. Just because I can see that there are many negative "bad" people in this world, and many "bad" events taking place, does not mean I am a negative person. Being ignorant by pretending we live in lala land where the unicorns bring you to work while everyone waves at you and throws lovely flowers and chocolates at you will get you nowhere (ok so I exaggerated a bit ). A truly good person is someone who sees the world for what it is, tries to make a difference for the better, while always seeing the beauty and good in everyone & everything. Nobody is EVIL, they have merely lost their ways. Evil is but an absence of good.Quote:
). There are many people out there who are genuine people, not charging a penny for any of their work. There are also people out there who are genuine but also charging $$$ for their work. Are they evil for doing so? No. They need to put food on the table, pay the bills, maybe they have children, let alone pay for the cost of their books/dvds or whatever their selling. Do you go to work for free everyday? Having said that, there are money hungry people who are in this for the wrong reasons (mainly the people throwing out a bunch of dis-info). It is up to you to sift through all the garbage thats out there, no one else. Does that mean we stereotype all conspiracy theorists and label them? I've doubted many theorists and still do, I take the information handed to me, do my own research, & formulate my own opinion on what I truly believe to be true. Have you ever stopped to wonder that the powers that be might want to discredit these conspiracy theorists? And if so, the only thing they would have to do is create some "false prophets" or con conspiracy theorists. They could have them debunked, have them preaching crazy theories that contradict other theories, etc. It doesn't take long thereafter for the masses to go.. "oh all of those conspiracy theorists are a load of BS". Catch my drift? Quote:
The thing that gets me most about these threads are that they get us nowhere.. when we truly are all on the same team.. regardless of if your religious, spiritual or if you are not, or if you believe in the NWO or not. We are all human beings out to enjoy life and make the best of it. Deep down we all want the same thing. "And in the end.. it isn't the years in your life that counts.. but the life in your years." ![]() TiCkEr

Theories and videos can be great tools to spark an interest and encourage further investigation. I never said anything about watching a video and basing my entire belief on it. As far as I'm aware, I don't believe any religions sift through the Bible picking out parts that they feel are wrong/incorrect (correct me if I'm wrong). Your either with it or your not.. thus you can't really make a comparison. I understood his point, but I think you missed mine completely once again. The Bible was written long ago and speaks of accounts/events that have occurred long ago, the NWO is happening right now, thus it can be proven if you are willing to open yourself up to the possibility.Also, I never said you can show the intent of the authors of these theories. The only person who truly knows my intentions is myself, just like the only person who truly knows your intentions is yourself. The Bible should not be taken literally because if you do so, you believe that a God lives up in the sky and if you disobey him, he will cast you to an eternal hell where you shall live for all of eternity! Great way to scare people into religion if you ask me, but this has nothing to do with this thread and were not about to get into it, because that would be a whole other debate by itself. I could go on and on with the issues I have regarding the Bible and organized religion, but that is just my opinion and I have nothing against people who choose to follow either the Bible or religion.

![]() Although I found your interpretation quite funny, here are my issues with it. You are comparing world events occurring today in the present time, to a book written thousands of years ago, that has been passed down time and time again, misinterpreted time and time again. Religion scares people with the perspective of "life after death", living in an eternal hell, not the fear of dying itself. I don't find the theory "scary" at all.. the governments only have the power to which we give them. They are no more than the Wizard hiding behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz. Right now that curtain is still up, but it is starting to tear and for good reason. Anyways, let's continue shall we! The 9/11 conspiracy theory should be taken literally because if you do not, you believe that the government was unable to defend it's own country against a small number of terrorists, that terrorists were able to fly giant airliners into the trade centers and the pentagon, that the United States of America were unable to find Osama but tiny news journalists were and even conducted interviews with him, and that taking away more of our liberties is the way to handle the situation, working towards rendering the constitution useless. Create a problem, wait for the reaction, and offer a solution which was the main goal in the first place. Great way to scare people into giving up more of their liberties if you ask me. Anyways, I'm off to town to buy some equip for my grow box! Ciao for now brown cow! ![]() TiCkEr

Question: do you know my intent? ![]() As for my statement, "I WAS a conspiracy theorist", that meant that I did research. Obviously I didn't adopt those theories. Hence, was. Like you've pointed out, they are theories. I understand you believe you know more. I told my dad the same thing. Just drawing some similarities. Take them for what you will, but I say to you that I do not judge your perceptions of the world. If you wish to judge mine, I will not try to stop you. ![]() EDIT: My (non-)understanding is the same for me as my (subjective) experience. Thus, there is no need to take what I say as anything more than personal opinion. Just wanted to stress that. Last edited by bkadoctaj; 05-06-2008 at 09:19 PM. | |

It is only when all of these facts are presented with various details twisted, and put together with non-facts, that they become the basis of the conspiracy theory. By themselves, the facts definitely suggest to any reasonable person that Bush is a horrible president, he has violated our rights, he has fought an unjust war, etc. But I see no single fact, or even combination of facts that would suggest Bush or any other government official had anything to do with planning and carrying out the events of 9/11. He may have let it happen, but proving that it was intentional at all is basically impossible. As much as people hate Michael Moore, his movie Fahrenheit 9/11 is a very accurate portrayal of the Bush presidency. Quote:
