So any proof? Or is this something we do not apply our critical skeptical thinking skills too? And isn't belief without proof why we laugh at the FMOTL?

Why did you tell your co-worker Menard is a conman?
What was it that led you to believe it to be true?

You can send him $250 for some DVDs to help you overturn a parking ticket.
See how it works out for you then make up your own mind.
So you engaged in an argument without even knowing if you were right?What I read here and on the Icke Forum. You guys all say it so much, I thought you must have proof.
What!!!What I read here and on the Icke Forum. You guys all say it so much, I thought you must have proof.
You need to ask yourself that question, after all its you who thinks he's a conman isn't it?Which raises another point; if he is a conman why would he share his videos for free?
Demanding "Proof" is an avoidance tactic often used by those who don't want to look at the evidence.
Can we "prove" that Menard is a conman via convictions in court for that very accusation? No, we can't.
But we can point to evidence that supports the conclusion that he's a conman. All evidence and all conclusions are open to challenge, and that is legitimate. But demanding one and only one type of evidence, while ignoring all others, isn't useful.
We do have lots of evidence that FOTL in general is fundamentally incorrect: Every time we can see that it has been tested in the venues where such tests really matter (police interactions and court cases), it has demonstrably failed.
We know, despite all that, that Menard, and others of his ilk, continue to ply their wares, in full knowledge that they've failed as discussed above. That's evidence of their fraudulent intent.
Now, Menard has claimed that he has lots of "evidence" that this works by "keeping people out of court in the first place". However, that evidence exists only in Menard's mind - it's pure hearsay, backed up literally by nothing more than his word. He actively refuses to provide anything more than that.
So, we have clear cut positive evidence of FOTL's failures, clear cut positive evidence of Menard's continuing to sell his FOTL schemes, and only hearsay evidence from Menard himself as to FOTL's successes. The conclusion we reach, as reasonable people, is that Menard is a conman.
So, were he willing to substantiate his claims to FOTL successes, we'd re-visit that conclusion. But at this point, the reasonable provisional conclusion is that he's a conman.
If that's not enough for your friend, well, that's his life; but if and when Menard walks away with his money, he'd better expect us to say we told him so, because we will.
So you engaged in an argument without even knowing if you were right?
How Menardian.
Yawn..Hi Horatius... thanks for the reply and not accusing me of being Menard. The problem that I have is that my co-worker is driving around with his homemade plates, no registration or insurance or license. I was with him the other night on the long weekend, we went through a check stop here in Ontario, and the cops saw his plate and just waved him through, and everyone else they stopped and made sure they weren't drinking. I have a picture of his car showing the plates, but did not have a camera during the stop. So I have to wonder if there is not some truth to it.
You are. Starting an argument without even having a clue if your argument is correct is the dumbest thing to do.I know... now I am going to eat crow for it too... live and learn I guess.
Is it also 'Menardian' if others here do the exact same thing?
Within two minutes of walking in, a beautiful young woman walked in the bar. I swear I thought I spoke the following words, Ben says he never heard me say them however. I heard them like they had come from my own mouth. “She’s pregnant and in very big trouble.” I noticed all the crack dealers and pimps eyeing her like she was the dinner special and I got a huge sadness settle upon my heart. I was like a big wet carpet and I thought my heart my stop. Suddenly, something grabbed the love in my heart and communicated with mne by vibrating it. “Take her child as your own and you will be foreever blessed.” In my minds eye, I had a picture of my father and mother and I realized he had never raised his voice to her let alone his hand. I was being asked to love her and her child like my father had loved his wife and children. I said “Okey Dokey” to the power that grabbed my love and I became a daddy at that moment.
I invited Megan over to our table and in the first fivew miniutes told her she was pregnant. She didn’t believe me. She was only a week or two pregnant and was showing absolutely no physiological signs. She had no place to stay that night so I invited her over to my place and she accepted. We became a couple a fewq days later. At this time she was into hard drugs and hjarder living. I told her God had told me she was pregnant and she dismissed it refusing to believe in a God. When she later found out she was preg- nant, it blew her away that I had known and claimed God told me. It empowered her considerably.

He says that since the people who call Menard a conman reject the FMOTL position for lack of court proof, court proof should be required to support their claim that Menard is a conman, or else they have double standards and are hypocrites.
You have been calling him one more than anyone. Surely someone as honourable as you would not do that without proof right?
What I read here and on the Icke Forum. You guys all say it so much, I thought you must have proof. I think if you don't you must be guilty of the same thing you laugh at the FMOTL for. You have a belief in something which you share on the 'net, but you have no proof of it.
Trouble?and all the cop said is that he did not want trouble.
