You're a pretentious blowhard, rambling nigh on with egocentric rants as if your viewpoint is the final word. Fuck you and whatever it is you believe 'critical thinking' to be. I'm not going to even start on 9-11, if you can't question that at all....it baffles me. It seems to me that it would be difficult to so easily believe whatever you're told. | |

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

Right, you just so happened to latch on to all the favorite's of typical pseudo-skeptics, before you knew any fucking facts, and proclaim from on high that were all sheep are idiots if we follow the big corporation/government/reptilian media's take or even basic common fucking sense on the situation; you, on the other hand are so clever that you have the this whole thing figured out, you are gonna be brave (you're so cute when you think you're being brave) and "call bullshit" and then launch into a bunch of cliches that prove nothing. Then when it becomes obvious the facts are saying that what those of us saying you were wrong were in fact proving that you were wrong, instead of just saying "yea I was wrong, I should probably stop being a pseudo-skeptic who holds an impossibly high burden of proof on government, academic, and media sources, while holding a laughably low burden on crackpot conspiracy theorists." But no, you come out and say "sure, I was wrong again, because I am generally an idiot, but I would like to take this time of admitted failure and stupidity to announce that I believe that 9-11, which has been studied by a higher combination of technology and raw man-power than any event in history, was a conspiracy that has been so successful that not one single iota of evidence proving me right exists despite the aforementioned investigation." Seriously, read your first post, just look how fucking stupid it looks now that it is 100% plainly obvious you were dead wrong. Fuck people like you, since the general public is willing to believe a sexy consipiracy theory rather than a boring academic, peer reviewed, reasoned explanation, you are viewed as an intellectual who sees through the veil of the all powerful, all evil "establishment." When in reality you are just another dumb bitch too stupid to actually know what real skepticism is. Seriously, go back and read your first post, if you think it's "pitching a few thoughts" that just so happened to be wrong, you are an idiot. It is saying "[blook at me[/b], I'm so fucking smart I can piece together this whole damn thing, despite all the facts, literally, all of them, showing I have no foot to stand on. I won't let that stop me, in fact I will use those facts to prove my cute little imaginary story about the evil government hating on those poor peaceful muslims, not because the facts are wrong or suspect, no that would make to much sense, what I am going to do is say that the facts are so obvious that they must be made up, because the obvious conclusion to come to when the facts add up nicely is that it was set up by a huge government conspiracy involving killing it's own soldiers all for the sake of making muslims looks bad, because making muslims look bad requires any extra work." You say I can't "question" 9-11? No, the problem is that people like you think questioning automatically means finding an answer significantly different than the established story. I have questioned the shit out of it, and I have found that I agree with the worlds foremost authorities, academics, investigators, computer model makers, intelligence experts. That is skepticism, that is critical thinking; questioning for the sake of finding the actual truth, regardless of how boring and non sexy it is. What you are is a pseudo-skeptic, you start from the conclusion that the established story is wrong and then work backwards, picking only the crackpots who support you, while ignoring all the aforementioned experts. Here is how are 9-11 conversation would go: You point out all the obvious reasons for whoever you think did it had for doing it, none of which make all that much sense, then you present a few "facts" that are actually mistakes that have been corrected but most people never heard about the corrections because that's not as sexy, now lacking facts you show all the "inconsistency" in the established case. I explain why your obvious reasons don't make much sense, I show you you're "facts" have been proven wrong, I show you actual facts that prove that at least one and likely all of your theory is a physical impossibility, I show you facts that show that the generally accepted theory amongst sane people does in fact make sense and that most of the "inconsistency" in it is simply due to misunderstanding or misreporting that was never corrected or just ignored when it was, and then I again point out that you are an idiot willing to listen to any idiot who can make a youtube video with scary background, but refuse to believe anything the most respected academics and instigators tell you without them physically take you there via time machine and showing it to you live. | |

You sure are one cantankerous bastard. I don't know if I like this whole "Beebs against the ENTIRE FUCKING WORLD" thing. You're an extremely intelligent guy from what I know, but if you really think you're smarter than everybody else, how about applying that in your life to make some real, progressive CHANGES (or at least constructive arguments, preferably not containing insults meant for a testosterone-fueled rivalry over a woman; personal insults really have no place in adult debates) in the world instead of being such a callous naysayer all the fucking time? | |

...Yeah, I still don't care.
Had I known the precedent for longwinded whining was so high, I would've made my crackpot theories a bit more flavorful. I'll keep that in mind next time and toss in some Jews, the Reagan Administration, religious undertones, etc. If one post about Fort Hood can do this, I can't imagine where it goes from here. All hail Beebs, God of Truth. go fuck yourself, that's all you've done thus far. |

The second part is certainly true, I need to make some changes in my life, but for the last year I have been; but thank you for having the nuts to say it. Internet arguments invovling real people rising as a result of religious extremism being blamed on people who actually try to stop them and treating the bad guys as victims, however, I will be as agressive as I can. | |

All I've done is say you were wrong, then when you admitted it you threw in an even bigger, dumber conspiracy theory; I would be failing the world if I didn't point this out and show why you fit into a category of people who rank amongst the dumbest on earth. | |

X2.
I know Fruitacious means well, and there is nothing wrong with sparking a pseudo-intellectual debate on the internet. Nonetheless, you can't throw out crack-pot ideas with no factual basis, and then criticize someone for a long-winded, but rational, rebuttal. |
