What happened to this place?

  1. Why is it now filled with anarchists and conspiracy theorists? This was a place where I used to come and enjoy having talks with people but now all I see are users bashing the government and spouting conspiracies left and right. Change won't happen just by posting on an online forum where you are somewhat anonymous unless you actually do something about it. This place is getting really bad, almost to the point of some sections of reddit where all they do is circlejerk and spout bullshit.

     
  2. Just young adaults trying to find their place and better the World. Just a shame they got sidetracked by the true crackpots. Kind of like the Boston Bomber brothers. Have you seen this?

    Boston Marathon bombing suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev befriended a brain-damaged anti-U.S. government conspiracy theorist through their mother's health care aide job years before the deadly attack, a lawyer said Tuesday.
    Attorney Jason Rosenberg, who represents the family of Donald Larking, said Larking shared publications with the brothers, especially Tamerlan, and discussed theories including that the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and the Newtown, Conn., elementary school shooting didn't happen or the U.S. government was behind them.
     
    Sometimes you want to believ so badly that you're on the right path, that you don't understand your sources. :smoke:

    You're free to leave whenever you want to visit that shithole reddit instead. 
     
  4.  
    But they could do more than just comment on a forum. They could go out and spread the word by going house to house or staging protests in a busy part of town.
     
     
    And why would I leave over something that is probably seasonal? I've been here longer than a lot of the posters I've been seeing lately and just because I don't have a high post count doesn't mean that I don't belong or like being here. Honestly, the only reason I left this place was because the mods were banning a lot of good posters and it was getting a little bit stale.
     
  5. Shhh, that would be worse than Jehovah Witness'. :smoke:
     
  6. It's the internet...You won't find many corners of this dark world that remain untouched by crazy people and their insane theories. :cool:
     
  7. This place in general has gone down hill, however I don't blame the upgrade.
     
  8. its a counterculture forum lol what do you expect
     
  9. FREE NELSON MANDELA
     
  10. Last time I visited before coming back was late 2012 and it wasn't anywhere near as bad as it is now. I blame the new users.
     
  11. yeah, it might have garnered a few new of those type of members, but for the most part everyone on here knows that most of the CT's are bonkers.  take the 9/11 conspiracy theorists or hurricane sandy for example, most people on here annihilate them lol.

  13. Because the government loves to bash us, and some theories have some pretty good points. It just a place to get the word out. I don't know about u, but I don't like ignoring the fucked up things that are happening now in days. Id rather do something about it than just go on my mery way. Id u don't like certain threads, simply don't click on em.

     
  14. What theories make good points? I would like to hear some because most are full of shit. And what fucked up things are happening to us right now? Are we in danger of getting killed everyday from excessive crime? Are we in danger of being drafter for a pointless war? What about in danger of being sent to labor camps for speaking out against the government? We have it a hell of a lot better than other people around the world do. Its not just certain threads but also threads that have nothing to do with stuff like that.
     
  15. I don't think they even stop to consider how it can encourage and even fuel hatred from other places. :smoke:
     
  16. Ok lets start with 911. u gotta admit that story had a shit load of holes in it.

    Sent from my SPH-D700 using Grasscity Forum mobile app

     
  17. Really? I'd love to be annihilated by someone who believes the commission report is the whole truth. 
     
  18. certainty on either side of the spectrum is foolish when you have no knowledge of what took place. People who refuse to question things are the craziest ones..
     
  19. No. A good example would have been the JFK Assassination plot.
     
  20. dont assume i have no knowledge of what took place, please.  i was across the hudson river in math class when it took place, i heard the explosions and was stuck in jersey city's school until 6PM.  because of this, i have done probably hundreds of hours more research than most people on here.  i do not get into debates about 9/11 because all it does is piss me off, if that means i lose the debate then so be it,.
