Anything less than a fully functioning holodeck is bullshit.

That is all.

Nerd hell!

It's not often that Dirty Frank doesn't get the best line of the prog- but "And I'm wearing a three ton bus, shithead" does it for me this week.

Pffft... left, right- they're all twats- with about as much interest in ordinary people as I've got in ants.

Yeah, I agree with your fixage and would've just said so in the first place- but I didn't want to get with the "generalising stick" for my trouble...

Knut knows everything about everything. He is Expert McExpertson.

When you really get down to it, resources are what most wars are about.  We just like to dress them up a a bit.

I haven't actually read this myself yet, but I've been assured that it puts the conspiracy theories to rest:

Uncle Sam "cackling over the exploding Twin Towers", earlier today.  I guess it's not just the conspiracy theorists that see what they want to see...

This is quite true, but in some cases people still question things even though the evidence is overwhelmingly in favour of the 'official' (for want of a better word) story.
The moon landings are, I think, a good example.

...or when someone like Kurt Cobain or Princess Diana die. Some people just have trouble accepting the obvious. Shit happens. People die. Move on.

What irritates me about conspiracy theories is that they're usually very fanciful - like movie plots, and you can see why people want to believe in them - it makes the world seem a bit more exciting. No doubt there have been cover-ups and conspiracies, but imo nothing as audacious or interesting as a staged terrorist bombing/moon landing. In a way I think the more out-there theories distract from the mundane, depressing reality of what the various governments and agencies of this world are really up to.

I followed a link from that YouTube interview I posted, that was allegedly from some whistleblower who knew everything about everything (where aliens are concerned, anyway) - but he'd obviously just lifted great big chunks of it from Stargate, Star Trek and a bunch of other Sci-Fi shows* - he even had bad guys called Zoltar and Baltar!  The lazy bastard!







*of course, 'The Man' probably puts these shows out to discredit the truth... :paranoidsmileygoeshere:

I like reading about conspiracy theories and alternative "science" and all the rest- but there's not much that I will actually buy into (although I was prepared to accept that the Moon landings might have been faked, for a while).  For the most part, it's a bunch of "what if...?" that seems to get a bit out of hand.

Except for the Triangularians.  They are very real.

A lot of quite patronising people will tell you that those eye (ear?) witnesses were in shock and hearing things. Which, of course, they might well have been.

When it comes to this subject, I think it's just the cast iron rejection- and the accompanying derision- that irritates me.  I'm reasonably sure that the official version is the truth- or as close to the truth as we'll ever get- but I think it'd be a sad day if people ever stopped questioning "known truths".

So Martians are Castrati, then how does that explain their deeply resonant bellowing of ULLA! back in the day?


What's more amazing is how you got 28 minutes into this?

Also, from that description, I am clearly a Martian.

Which would explain a lot.

Just on in the background while I'm working.  I'll listen to pretty much anything- even the obvious rubbish, so long as it doesn't affect my concentration (such as it is).  If nothing else, it keeps my imagination ticking over nicely.

Also- and not really wanting to get dragged into this- I do find it an amazing coincidence that not one, not two, but THREE buildings all managed to collapse into their own footprints.  I'm not suggesting for one minute that such a thing can't happen without careful planning- but I'm amazed that people find it so difficult to believe that other people find this a little bit fishy.

I also find it pretty comical that people seem to think that an enormous number of conspirators would have to be involved to make it happen.  Really?  It's easy to believe that 19(?) people hijacked planes and flew them into buildings- but 19 other people couldn't have conspired to do exactly the same thing for entirely different reasons?  Sure- there'd be dupes along the way- but they could be easily gotten rid of.  If you weren't in any particular hurry, you'd have years to set it all up.  I think I mentioned this before, but maintenance crews would've been in and out of the place all the time.  Not too difficult to rig all three buildings over time, if you wanted to.  Who's to say the hijackers even intended to fly the planes into buildings at all?  Maybe they were just dupes and the planes were under outside control?

Again, I'm not saying that any of this is what happened- but it is possible.  I'm sure people have done worse things for money, power and resources in the past- and I'm reasonably sure that they'll do worse things again in the future.
