you think? well, if you says so, then we definite ain't updating... kinda a negative barometer as it were. regardless, am not sure what lack o' updating our schtick has to do with your failed attempt at a funny. have mentioned a few times that the Gromnir bit ain't 'posed to be funny or clever: is a ponce detection device. congrats.

 

My sincere apologies. I assumed it was a persistent attempt to annoy and obscure.

 

As for funny... if you don't find conspiracy theorists funny then I can only feel sorry for you. I find them both abundant and hilarious.

I find it funny that your initial reaction to peacetalk is.. suspicious anxiety. :)

As for conspiracy theorists - as soon as you inquire into official statements/handlings, are you automatically a conspiracy theorist?

In that case, I think you qualify as one.

Is this a tacit admission that Junai is right, and Al Qaeda didn't actually carry out 9/11?

 

Seriously. WTF?

 

Well of course they didn't. :bat:

1) Tea Pary - Yes.

2) Veterans - No.

3) White people - lol, no.

4) Pro-lifers - Yes.

5) Global warming skeptics - Replace that with Creationists, and you'd be right.

6) Gun owners - No.

7) People who own unapproved of dog breeds - This is an interesting one. If you own a pit bull, Rottweiler, or doberman in a city or county where those breeds are banned, you're probably not the type of person who should own a pit bull, Rottweiler, or doberman.

8) And anyone who might vote for someone other than Obama - You seem to be forgetting the independent, socialist, and green party candidates.

What was so offensive about that ? Seen all of that before, although the SEAL team dying in the crash was a new one - panicking and shooting OBL though heh..the order was to kill him, no ?

Malc what's offensive about it is thousands of people dying and then twisting their deaths to serve a paranoid half-baked conspiracy.

 

The 'evidence' offered for this conspiracy wouldn't convict a shoplifter because it ALL innuendo and 'surely this couldn't be a coincidence'. in spite of the thousands of persons who would have to be involved if it were a genuine cover up. Never mind the mountains of evidence supporting the offficial conclusions. And it's been debunked ten times over by far more qualified men than I.

 

I read yesterday that a quarter of young Britons believe 9/11 was committed by the US government. That is royally ****ed up.

Not seeing them twisting the deaths, but that's perception I suppose. Most of this conspiracy stuff is boring as if you ask for evidence well they have the 'cover up' aegis or 'duh that's why it's a conspiracy, sheep', heh. Loose Change was the best for that, I liked the bit about the guy from UL who tests water, commenting on steel, heh.

Gotcha. Terrorist = Anyone with an opposing political viewpoint. Well, glad that's all straightened out.

Considering something a threat to America does not equal thinking that same something is a terrorist.

I was totally calling people who own banned dog breeds terrorists.

 

Don't worry though. As a bleeding-heart liberal, I think terrorists should benefit from due process, so I won't be sending those pit bull owners to Egypt to get their genitals electrocuted.

I'd say "creationist" goes right past "opposing political viewpoint" and directly into the realm of "hopelessly disconnected from reality."

Har har, you're so clever.

 

I think it's quite clear by "creationist" I was referring to the substantial group in the US who believe in a literal interpretation of the biblical creation myth.

Ideally, they simply shouldn't be listened to when they make a big stink about how science curriculum doesn't conform to their laughable worldview. There's obviously nothing can realistically can (or should) be done to remove creationists (and their unfortunate ability to vote) from American society.

I was going to take offense as well, but I decided to assume he was talking about the young earth creationists, and not theistic evolution or intelligent design.

intelligent design.

 

Hahahahahahahaha.

 

Hah.

 

The fact that people think "intelligent design" has any more validity than young earth creationism means that the fundamentalist nuts have truly run a great propaganda campaign.

There are many people who believe in God but don't believe that the Bible is literally true. A literal interpretation of the Bible would mean that the world is an approximately 6,000 year-old disc with heaven hovering above it, and that if you built a high enough tower, you could walk from earth to heaven.

Intelligent design means exactly what it says. It is a theory that points to an intelligent being behind the creation and evolution of everything. I'm not sure why that is crazy, at least more than any other philosophy out there.

 

I think you might be confused about this because fundamentalists have been trying to turn Intelligent Design into science. It is not, it's still a philosophy and relies more on faith than concrete evidence. But I hope you can respect that not everyone on this planet is going to share your beliefs, and that doesn't make them crazy.

intelligent design.

Because it proposes an untestable explanation for observable phenomena, and thus is directly contradictory to observable fact. I'd say anyone willing to ignore proven science in favor of "faith" is hopelessly disconnected from reality, yes - this includes *any* fundamentalist faith.

Did you miss the second paragraph of my post? I already stated Intelligent Design is not science, and a US District judge ruled the same. I suppose I would have been better off leaving it off my list. But your arguments seem to be aimed at religious belief in general. What is your definition of fundamentalist faith?
